After the deal with FIFA ended, EA introduced new features to refresh the game’s formula, such as Evolutions. This is a game-changer for player progression, as it transforms how you enhance your Ultimate Team cards in EA FC 24. Here’s our picks for the best players for EA FC 24 Evolutions.
The Evolutions system is EA Sports FC 24‘s answer to keeping older Ultimate Team cards competitive amidst the ever-shifting game meta.
EA FC 24 Evolutions are a brand-new feature in the game that allows players to upgrade their card attributes such as passing, defending, and shooting, by completing specific objectives or using UT Coins and FC Points to purchase them. However, evolutions are only available for a limited amount of time in the game, so you’ll want to aim to evolve the best players.
With that in mind, here are the best players for each evolution in EA FC 24.
