Best players for The Octopus II Evolution
Here are the best players for this evolution slot:
1. Kobbie Mainoo
The Manchester United midfielder is an interesting player to work with in midfield, with the Long Ball Pass and Finesse Shot PlayStyles you can play him deeper and higher in the midfield based on your preference, the Intercept PlayStyles+ from the combo makes him such a useful asset defensively.
2. Romeo Lavia
Chelsea FC have a good set of young footballers at their disposal, the Belgian midfielder has the correct build to sit in a single pivot and dictate the game with boosts from Remember Klaiber as well as Quarter Century Quest.
3. Ramires
His pace really sets him apart, with Premier League links as well as the Slide Tackle and Relentless PlayStyles you won't need to worry about replacing him mid game, he will hold the line with two incredibly meta Player Role++ in EA FC 25.
4. Aurélien Tchouaméni
The Real Madrid midfielder was an amazing starter CDM in FUT 25 with seven PlayStyles including meta defensive PlayStyles like Anticipate and Bruiser, the boost from the evo makes him as good as his Total Rush version which is still a viable option for your teams at this stage.
5. Blaise Matuidi
He was surprisingly meta at the start of FC 25, having the Quick Step PlayStyles on a CDM is an unexpected boost when you lunge into tackles especially with the Anticipate PlayStyles, the evo gives the Frenchman a decent boost and you can easily use him both at CM and CDM.
