Future Stars Academy
The Future Stars Academy will begin with an exclusive one-time Player Pick grant, allowing you to pick 1 player from a possible 15 to enter into the Future Stars Academy!
The journey is divided into three different Evolution stages, representing your player’s growth from academy wonderkid to club legend! Once all stages are complete, your Future Stars Academy player will become a true Icon and receive the Icon chemistry upgrade to prove it.
In addition to the Future Stars Academy Evolution journey, you will also have the chance to build up a scout report for your Academy player by earning Evolution consumables in the ‘Future Stars Academy: Scout Report’ objectives group.
These consumables will allow you to uniquely customize Playstyles and SM/WF ratings for your academy player. Flex your scouting skills and show what makes your Future Star stand out from the crowd!
Look out for the Scout Report objectives that will appear across both weeks of the campaign! Make sure to complete them all to truly maximize the potential of your Future Stars Academy player, transforming them from wonderkid to an Icon!
Each Scout Report objective will award users with a 1 of 5 pick of silver PlayStyles (as Evo consumables), one from each of the 5 outfield categories (SHO, PAS, DRI, DEF, PHY). Once all are completed, the group reward will be a 1 of 5 pick of a PlayStyle+ (as Evo consumables). All Evo consumable rewards can only be applied to your active Future Stars Academy Evo player, so be sure to complete all consumables before taking that final Evo step and becoming an Icon.
