How to Upgrade FC Pro Live Cards in FC 26
FC Pro Live cards are linked to pro players, and upgrading these cards is completely in their hands. Not just upgrading the card, but also when it comes to choosing specific upgrades like PlayStyles+, it's up to the pro players' choice.
So, to upgrade an FC Pro Live card, the linked player must perform well in the FC Pro Open Tournament.
Here's exactly how FC Pro Live card upgrades work:
| Condition | Upgrades |
| If the pro earns 3 points in the FC Pro Open | Linked card will receive +1 skill move or +1 weak foot upgrade |
| If the pro earns 10 points in the FC Pro Open | Linked card will receive +1 OVR upgrade |
| If the pro earns 16 points in the FC Pro Open | Linked card will receive +1 OVR upgrade |
| If the pro qualifies for the FC Pro Open Knockout Rounds | Linked card will receive +1 OVR upgrade and 1 of 3 PlayStyles+ |
| If the pro reaches Top 4 in the FC Pro Open Knockout Rounds | Linked card will receive +1 alternate position with a Role++ |
| If the pro wins the FC Pro Open | Linked card will receive +1 OVR upgrade along with a +1 skill move or +1 weak foot upgrade |
Let's take Alejandra Garnacho 87, FC Pro for example: this player item is linked to nicolas99fc.
Let's assume that:
- Nicolas earns 3 points: Garnacho will receive a +1 SM or WF upgrade
- Nicolas earns 10 points: Garnacho will turn into an 88 OVR player card
- Nicolas earns 16 points: Garnacho will turn into an 89 OVR player card
- Nicolas qualifies for the FC Pro Open Knockout: Garnacho will turn into a 90 OVR player card and receive 1 of 3 PlayStyles+. The PlayStyle+ will be decided by Nicolas
- Nicolas reaches Top 4 in the FC Pro Open Knockout: Garnacho will receive +1 alt pos. with a Role++
- Nicolas wins the FC Pro Open: Garnacho will turn into a 91 OVR player card and receive a +1 SM or WF upgrade
After all the upgrades, Garnacho will become a 91 OVR player card with 5-star SM, 5-star WF, 1 PlayStyle+, a new alternate position and 1 Role++.
