Top 5 Players to Use in Absolute Unit Evolution
Not all cards are eligible, and not all eligible cards are worth your time. To help you make the best choice, here are five of the best FC 26 players to use in this Evolution:
- Ruud Gullit (Dreamchasers Icon SBC)
The perfect definition of an "absolute unit." Gullit already dominates games due to his size, stats, and versatility. With this Evolution, he becomes nearly unstoppable. While typically seen in the CAM or CM role, Gullit at CDM becomes a wall that's nearly impossible to get around, and he can still launch an attack from deep.
- Ramires (FUT Birthday Hero)
A fan-favorite known for his high work rates and stamina, Ramires becomes a much more physical option post-Evolution. He's a great pick for those who want a more agile CDM that can still hold his ground.
- Patrick Vieira (FUT Birthday Icon)
Vieira is a classic FUT legend, and this Evolution enhances what he already does best: dominate physically. Anticipate+ and a much-needed passing boost make him a complete CDM, while his body type ensures he remains an intimidating figure in midfield.
- Lautaro Valenti (TOTS)
A slightly underrated gem, Valenti's TOTS card becomes a reliable option post-Evolution. While not as flashy as Gullit or Vieira, he offers a great blend of defensive solidity and affordability, making him ideal for players on a tighter FIFA 26 Coins budget.
- Lothar Matthäus (FUT Immortals Icon)
Another iconic name, Matthäus combines elite positioning, defensive awareness, and long-range shooting. This Evolution brings more balance to buy EA FC Coins his already incredible stats, making him effective in both holding and box-to-box roles.
