Best Players For EA FC 25 The Anchor Evolution
As the requirements are lax, a lot of CDM players have qualified for this evolution. In case you don’t have any good players, you can always buy FIFA 25 players from U7BUY.
After looking through the available options, we have picked these FC 25 players:
- Blaise Matuidi
- Marcel Desailly
- Malick Thia
- Yaya Toure
- Aurelien Tchouameni
- Declan Rice
- İlkay Gündoğan
- Frenkie de Jong
- Jess Fishlock
- Claudio Marchisio
Blaise Matuidi is a hero card with 88 rating. After the Evolution, this CDM card can be upgraded to 90 OVR. The improved stats include Pace (86), passing (88), physicality (89), defending (89), and dribbling (83).
We have also included Marcel Desailly (Icon) in our list of best players. This EVO allows you to upgrade Desailly from 88 rating to 90 OVR. The Desailly card also receives a boost to the pace, defending, and physicality.
Next up is Malick Thiaw (CDM) with 87 rating and upgradable to 90 rating. Thiaw also receives a nice boost to the passing and defending stats. The most impressive stats of Thiaw after the evolution are defending (97) and physical (95). These two alone make him a great CDM on the FC 25.
Yaya Toure is also eligible for The Anchor EVO and can receive a +3 OVR. The EVO can transform the Toure into a 90-rated CDM with the new PlayStyles and PlayStyles+ (Bruiser+ and Intercept+).
We have also picked Aurelien Tchouameni as an ideal CDM for The Anchor EVO. This EVO improves the Tchouameni’s Defending (89), Passing (88), and Shooting (72).
Other players included in our list are all great at playing the CDM position. However, you can provide a significant boost to their defending & other stats via The Anchor EVO.
