Best EA FC 24 Euro Attackers Evolution choice

You can use all the Festival of Football cards in this evolution, but here are some of the best potential choices to consider.

  • Angelo Stiller – With M/H work rate, Intercept+, and Pinged Pass+, he becomes the perfect defensive midfielder in your setup.
  • Harry Maguire – Great option to have if you’re looking for a big-bodied CB to add to your squad.
  • Jean Clair Todibo – Similar reasons as Maguire, but he will feel quicker on the ball.

Do note that there are two cards you can upgrade using this evolution, so make sure to make the most of these free opportunities.
