How do I complete the level upgrades?
Each level asks the same simple task: play one match with your active EVO player in Squad Battles on at least Semi-Pro difficulty, or in Rush, Rivals, Champions, or Live Events. Yes—one match per level, and yes—this is intentionally grind-light.
My clipboard proves which cards matter — Best players to use in Two Way Player 1 Evolution
I tested several candidates and tracked the ones that shift roles best. Pick players who already have wing traits and room to grow into defensive or creative duties.
- Pedro (Time Warp) — pace and finishing that become deadly after Level 2.
- Joao Cancelo (Joga Bonito) — ideal if you want attackable defensive returns and PlayStyles synergy.
- Lucas Digne (World Tour) — crosses improve noticeably; Gains in composure make set pieces useful.
- Rafael Leao (Winter Wildcards) — raw pace and dribbling that the EVO turns into consistent threat.
- Domenico Berardi (Winter Wildcards) — long shots and finishing get a meaningful bump.
- Ashley Young (Time Warp) — veteran instincts pair nicely with the defensive lift.
- Boga (Serie A POTM) — agile, creative, and benefits from added stamina and skills.
- Joao Felix (Ultimate Scream) — becomes more willing to track back and threaded passes land cleaner.
- Mitoma (World Tour) — speed + dribble growth makes him a late-game decider.
Think of the EVO as a toolkit and the player as a multifaceted blade; choose one that complements your formation and the meta. At higher levels it can act like a chess knight, surprising defenders in lanes they thought safe.
Can I use this evolution on any rarity or position?
No — the evolution blocks certain rarities (World Tour Silver Stars excluded) and limits you to LM or RM. That restricts misuse but also protects value on cheap cards.
