Please can we add Future Stars Academy ICON to the FS WF and SM evo?

I completed the FS Academy Icon EVO on FS Van Bommel before I had unlocked the weak foot upgrade and skill move upgrade evos, and no can't use them on my FS evo player as he has already become an FS Academy ICON. 

The SM and WF evos will only allow Future Start Evolution players to be used. The FS Academy ICON player type is unique to this evolution event so there is no apparent opportunity for this to be misused.

I have seen other users on twitter/reddit facing the same problem.

  • You're not going to like this answer but unfortunately, you're stuck.  The instructions on how to evolve your Future Stars player were available stating that you needed to have all your Playstyles, Playstyle+, and SM/WF on before doing the last upgrade.  Also, any non-FS EVOs would lock your player and not allow them to progress.  The logic was that they wanted to control just how powerful these cards could be, which makes sense.  We can't have 99's across the board on an evolved Icon in February :).

    You'll just have to wait for an EVO that isn't restricted to add to those.

    This was a new type of EVO and alot of this feedback is heard and they are taking it into consideration for future EVOs to maybe be less strict regarding these issues!

    I suspected that would be the case. I'd suggest that those instructions were not clear enough for most users! Of course using a 'non-FS' evo would break the chain, but I'm surprised that the WF and SM evos are still not applicable as the FS Academy ICON cardtype with the WF and SM added is the intended result of the evolution path. 

    Especially given the length of time these and the part 1, 2 and 3 evolutions were made available, I think restricting the card type to only the 'non-icon' FS academy players is unnecessary as there is no way for the FS Academy specific WF and SM evos to be applied to any other card type. 

    I understand the need for strict criteria, but in this case I think it was unwarranted!
