Today is the last opportunity to complete a very popular Evolution in EA FC 24. This promises the highest rating yet for players who can rise to an overall rating of 93 through upgrades. We present the Evolution and show you the candidate with the best price-performance ratio.
What Evolution is it about? Pep’s Legacy was introduced with the Winter Wildcards to Ultimate Team. It is inspired by the coaching genius Pep Guardiola, who won the treble of championship, cup, and Champions League with Manchester City last year.
Despite its price of 75,000 coins, the Evolution is very popular (92% positive ratings on futbin) because it promises a strong upgrade for already very good cards. In addition to various stat boosts, the Evolution provides improvements for special moves and the “Weak Foot” ability. Additionally, the Evolution card receives two new playstyles that guarantee you a secure passing game, fitting to Pep Guardiola’s Tiki-Taka style.

The rare gold card of João Cancelo is the perfect candidate
Why is João Cancelo’s gold card particularly suitable for Pep’s Legacy? The Portuguese player, who has been under contract with FC Barcelona this season, is a true jack-of-all-trades. He can be deployed at both full-back positions and comes with very good stats, especially his passing and dribbling values stand out even without upgrades.
Among the playstyles of his regular gold card are some very strong styles, such as the Outside Foot Shot (Trivela) or the Technical Playstyle, which is really effective paired with the new OP dribbling in EA FC 24.
Cancelo already has a Team-of-the-Week (TOTW) card in EA FC 24; however, since the release of the Evolution, it has been chronically sold out despite a proud maximum price of 210,000 coins. Therefore, we recommend saving the coins and time and instead buying the rare gold card. This is 200,000 coins cheaper on the transfer market but has almost the same values.
What makes Evolution Cancelo so special: With the upgrades from the new Evolution, his passing and dribbling stats are raised to a unique level, which he can perfectly showcase with the new additional earned passing playstyles. With his 5-star Weak Foot ability, you can make passes from any possible position to your teammate. With 5-star skills, you can refine his already strong dribbling and surprise your opponents with the strongest tricks in EA FC 24.
Evolution Cancelo is even better as a central midfielder
Here’s why you should play Cancelo in midfield: Only his speed and physicality are somewhat lacking for the fine technician. To compensate for this, it’s best to place him in a central midfield position, either as a defensive midfielder (CDM) or as a box-to-box midfielder (CM). He can compensate for the missing speed in these positions with good positioning. Moreover, Cancelo can participate in the game better in a central role, and you can shine even more with his strong dribbling and excellent passing.
So before the game, set up a formation in the tactical settings that allows Cancelo to move into a midfield position. Maybe you can be inspired by the two best formations in EA FC 24 that almost all pros are playing. In these systems, he could become your new playmaker in midfield.
