  • Key Update: A dynamic upgrade where players earn boosts to OVR, PlayStyles, and a 99-rated face stat based on real-world performances.
  • Status: Live
  • Last Verified: February 23, 2026
  • Quick Answer: Fantasy FC cards upgrade via club wins, goals, and individual contributions (goals, assists, and clean sheets) over four league games. Plus potential league and domestic cup title bonuses.

Fantasy FC is a live FC 26 promo, similar to FC Pro and UEFA Primetime. This means all cards in the promo will receive upgrades based on results from real-life performances. 

All the upgrades are tied to domestic league performances. If a team and player get favorable results, they can have one face stat boosted to 99. Other upgrades include additional PlayStyles and overall increases. 

Check below for a full breakdown on how Fantasy FC upgrades work. 

How Do Fantasy FC Upgrades Work in FC 26

Like any other live promo, cards from Fantasy FC will get upgrades based on certain real-life results and performances. Scoring goals, assisting, clean sheets, and a few other factors will determine the upgrades.

Here's what upgrades a card can receive and the result required for the same:

Active Players

  • +1 OVR and Roles++: Club wins 6 points in the next 4 league games.
  • 99 Stat: 10 club goals in next 4 league games.
  • 2nd PS+, 1 PS (x2 base PS if the player already has 2 PS+)
    • For attackers and midfielders: 1 player goal or assist in the next 4 league games.
    • For Defenders, GKs, and CDMs: 1 clean sheet in the next 4 league games.
  • 5-star SM or WF: 6 attacking actions in the next 4 league games for the attacker. 12 defending actions in the next 4 league games for defenders.
    • Attacking actions are shots on target and key passes. For clarity, an assist will also count towards a player’s key pass statistic.
    • Defensive actions are saves, clearances, blocks, and interceptions.
  • 3rd PS+: Club wins the main domestic league.
    • Premier League, La Liga, etc.
  • +1 OVR: Club wins the domestic cup.
    • FA Cup, Copa del Rey, etc.

Heroes

Heroes have a different path because they are retired and cannot perform actions such as goals, assists, or other contributions.

  • +1 OVR and Roles++: Club wins 6 points in the next 4 league games.
  • 99 Stat: 10 club goals in next 4 league games.
  • 3 PS+, 1 PS: Club wins the main domestic league.
  • +1 OVR: Club wins the domestic cup.

The path is not too different from previous iterations of Fantasy FC. A card of a player who gets active minutes and is part of a team that is a strong title contender will remain relevant in the meta for a long time with upgrades.

Not possible for the league simply means the team is already too many points behind the table toppers, so they can't realistically recover or have a shot at the title. By looking at the team and their upcoming fixtures, you can probably guess the number of upgrades the player will receive.
