Best players to upgrade in EA FC 24 Evolutions: FUTTIES, Technical Titan, more

EA FC 24 users can constantly improve their favorite players thanks to the groundbreaking Evolutions system, but which players should you pick? Here are the best choices to upgrade in EA FC 24’s Ultimate Team mode.

EA Sports FC 24‘s Evolutions system is a solution to maintaining the competitiveness of older Ultimate Team cards amidst the constantly changing game meta.

EA FC 24 Evolutions are a 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 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.

Best players for EA FC 24 Evolutions

It’s important to note that not every player in Ultimate Team is eligible for upgrades. All EA FC 24 Evolutions must check a certain list of requirements. If you need the requirements for all active Evolutions, make sure to check out our full guide.

For this guide, we will try to use either base items or select IF cards. Particularly, because some of the limited-time IF cards can be extremely hard to come by. However, some Evolutions only upgrade specific cards.

With that out of the way, let’s jump right into the best players for the active EA FC 24 Evolutions.
