Best players for the Der Kaiser Evolution
Here are the best players for this evolution slot:
1. Jaap Stam
With the Bruiser PlayStyles+ and his elite physicality standing tall at 6'3, the Dutch defender was already one of the best CBs you could have in FC 25, now with this evo you can catapult his performance by adding pace and dribbling ability and making him the best option for this evo.

2. Vincent Kompany
The Belgian hero exudes a calmness and finesse about his game, always in the right place at the right time and making the right tackles with his Anticipate PlayStyles+ you can now get the best version of him in FC 25 with this evo.

3. Rio Ferdinand
The Englishman has a Future Stars Icon version that costs upwards of 1.4 Million coins on the market, with this evo you arguably get a better player with better PlayStyles and stats everywhere except defending which earns him a spot in this list.

4. Lúcio
If you played FC 24 you know what a beast the Brazilian was in the backline, with the Block PlayStyles+ and strong physicality this evo gives you a ball-playing version of the destroyer that is significantly better than his Track Stars version in FC 25.

5. Virgil van Dijk
His aura is unmatched, both in real life and in EA FC 25, despite his stats he is always a problem to play against so putting the Liverpool FC captain through this evo lets you push him towards becoming a complete defender that can stop attackers in their tracks with his new PlayStyles.

This is our list of players to choose from, but there are so many good ones out there. Who are you using in this Evolution slot? Tell us below!
