Scout report

Side Step is an FC 27 Evolution built around fullbacks. It is free to unlock, takes 6 matches or objectives to finish, and has now ended. The reward category is Mixed Upgrades, with attribute boosts spread across three levels and one PlayStyle added.

Only RB and LB cards qualify, with an Overall of 80 or lower, Pace of 85 or lower and no more than 7 PlayStyles. CM and CB cards are excluded. Level 1 adds +7 Overall (max 81) plus Crossing, Long Pass and Def. Awareness boosts. Level 2 adds the Tiki Taka PlayStyle, and level 3 lifts Short Pass, Vision and tackling.

It was a solid free upgrade for an 80-rated or lower fullback you already used. Since it has ended, it only matters if you already started it.
