1. William Saliba
The 6'4 Arsenal defender is one of the very best in the game with his physical presence and composed tackles with the Anticipate PlayStyles, the boosts from this evo with the extra PlayStyles+ get him close to his Team of the Year version making him one of the best options here.

2. Virgil van Dijk
Another elite CB in FC 25, the Dutchman is a formidable presence in the game with his Aerial PlayStyles+, 6'4 height and elite stats across the board, the extra PlayStyles+ enhance what is already a monster CB in FC 25 who is worth considering for this evo.

3. Vincent Kompany
He already has the Anticipate+ which sets him apart from the pack, his pace and physicality help him keep up with the top attackers in the game, the biggest upgrade he gets is to his pace which allows him to recover well during counter attacks and makes the Belgian hero a great option for this evo.

4. Abdukodir Khusanov
The Manchester City future star joined them in the winter transfer window and is already showing glimpses of a top professional, with a big boost in defensive stats and the added PlayStyles+, he is great in a back 3 especially with his base Quick Step PlayStyle.

5. Matthijs de Ligt
Manchester United might not be known for their defending this season but he is a phenomenal defender in FC 25, with good defending PlayStyles and the base Long Ball Pass PlayStyle allowing him to be a ball playing defender, you can elevate him beyond his UEL Dreamchasers version with this evo.

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!
