The Festival of Football has arrived! To mark the occasion, the Canadian developer has gifted players a special pack featuring a Festival of Football Pelé player item.
Throughout the summer, a series of Evolutions linked to this item will be released, with each upgrade inspired by Pelé’s journey during the iconic 1970 tournament.
The first set of Evolutions is already available, giving you the chance to shape Pelé to suit your own style of play. Choose your path from the new ST, CM, RW or LW roles, along with an additional PlayStyle+ and a boost to key attributes.
