Season 6 brings the Japan & South Korea '02 theme to Ultimate Team, introducing a massive set of rewards, game-changing Evolutions, and a brand-new multi-step mechanic called the Make Your Idol Evolution. If you are debating whether to upgrade to the Premium Pass, here is everything you need to know about what it offers and how the new Evolution chain works.

Is the Season 6 Premium Pass Worth It?

Yes — absolutely. The Season 6 Premium Pass is highly recommended. Not only does it grant you access to some of the best players in the game right now like FUT Birthday Icon Rivaldo and Oliver Kahn, but the Premium Evolutions on offer are incredibly powerful.

Crucially, the Premium Pass gives you the ability to apply custom 3rd PlayStyle+ upgrades to eligible players. Furthermore, the bonus Season Points (SP) included in the Premium ladder will help you complete the new "Make Your Idol" Evolution much faster than free-to-play users.

Full Premium Pass Rewards List

If you unlock the Premium Pass, you gain access to an exclusive tier of rewards alongside the free ladder. The complete list of Premium-exclusive items includes:

FUT Birthday Icon Rivaldo Full Stats and PlayStyles

Premium Pass Evolutions

This season’s Premium Evolutions offer incredible utility, from maxing out playmaker stats to granting rare 3rd PlayStyle+ upgrades. Here are the Premium Evolutions you unlock as you progress:

The "Make Your Idol" Evolution Chain Explained

Alongside the Premium rewards, Season 6 introduces the Make Your Idol (Choose Your Idol) Evolution chain. This is a multi-step, completely free Evolution path integrated directly into the Season Pass.

It allows you to take an eligible Japanese or South Korean player and progressively build them into a 91 OVR, 5 Skill Move, 5 Weak Foot meta card**.

  • Step 1 Starter Evo (Level 1): You must use a Max 85 OVR player from Japan or Korea Republic (excluding World Tour Silver Stars). This grants them the "Choose Your Idol" rarity, which is permanently required to continue the chain. You can only use this Starter Evo once.

At Steps 2, 3, and 4, you must choose a positional path (ATT, MID, or DEF) which dictates the upgraded stats and Base PlayStyles your player receives, while a Player Pick lets you choose their PlayStyle+.

Make Your Idol Evolution Upgrade Path


Season 6 offers some of the best value we have seen in Ultimate Team this year. Between securing endgame Icons like Rivaldo and Kahn, gaining access to 3rd PlayStyle+ Evolutions, and building a custom 5*/5* meta player through the Make Your Idol chain quicker, the Premium Pass is a must-buy for active players.
