In EA FC 24 the Centurions event has recently arrived in Ultimate Team. It comes with the most expensive yet strongest evolution there has ever been. We show you how to get the probably best right-back in the game with the new upgrade.
Which evolution is it? The Centurions-Allrounder-Mittelfeldprofi-Evolution comes with a hefty price of 150,000 coins or 2,000 FC Points. In return, it promises one of the best upgrades for players with an already good rating of up to 84.
Given this new evolution, especially Marcos Llorente, the affordable all-rounder from Atlético Madrid, has the potential to become a true high-end card very early on in EA FC 24. We present to you the evolution with its requirements, tasks, and upgrades and explain why there should be no way around the Spanish all-rounder.
Centurions-Allrounder-Evolution – What you need to know
What is the Centurion evolution? The Centurion event is a tribute to all players who have set certain records in their clubs in terms of matches played, goals scored, etc. This year, special versions of cards that were particularly frequently played in previous FIFA parts of Ultimate Team are also being released.
For this reason, the associated Centurion evolution is given more playtime than the previous evolutions, such as the recently released Trailblazers. You need to complete a whole series of matches to reach the last level of the evolution.
Your patience will definitely pay off, especially if you choose the right player.
Before we explain our favorite Llorente in more detail, we will present the general requirements, as well as the tasks and upgrades of the individual evolution levels.

After the evolution, you will have a really strong card in your ranks with the 87-rated EVO player Marcos Llorente. We will explain why he might even be the best player in the right-back position in the next section.
How strong is Centurions-Allrounder Llorente in comparison
How strong is Llorente after the Centurions-Allrounder-Evolution? On futbin.com, you have the opportunity to compare individual players with each other. In addition to the individual values that together form the stats like speed, shooting, passing, dribbling, defense, and physicality, you can also take a look at only the main attributes in the comparison, which together add up to a total amount known as Total Stats (TS).
We were curious and compared Llorente position-wise with the currently best RB and CM in the game.
In the first comparison, we used the new Centurion Icon card from Ruud Gullit in central midfield, which with a value of around five million coins is among the most expensive players in the game. The Dutchman has always been considered one of the best and most expensive cards in the game.
And yes, Gullit is still the better card; if you add up the individual stats, the Dutchman has a TS of 522, while Llorente’s TS stands at 503. However, the Spaniard does not have to hide with a deviation of only 20 points in the total stat comparison, considering that you could complete a Centurion Gullit for 30 times the cost of an EVO Llorente.
In the direct duel with his prominent competitor in the right-back position, Llorente even comes out on top. Against the Brazilian Icon of Carlos Alberto, the Spaniard prevails in comparing the sum of the total stats. Especially the offensive output is promising with a shot value of 81 compared to Alberto’s 64 shot value.
Here too, it is worth noting that Llorente is not a bargain at 150,000 coins. However, compared to the million that Alberto costs, he represents a much cheaper alternative with sometimes even better values.
Centurions EVO player Llorente therefore clearly has ambitions to become and remain one of the best right-backs in the game, perhaps even until the Team of the Year in January.
What makes Llorente so good in addition to his very balanced values are two specific playstyles that make him even faster. We have introduced them in a separate article for you and explained the interplay of the two playstyles.
