Best players for FS Academy Midfielders Evolution

The player you pick for this upgrade must fit the following criteria:

Attribute Category	Requirements
Pace	Maximum 86
Passing	Minimum 79
Dribbling	Maximum 84
Rarity	Future Stars Academy
Rarity	NOT In-Progress Evolution
PlayStyles	Maximum 9
PlayStyles+	0

There are only 10 players that can be used in the FC 24 FS Academy Midfielders Evolution. Every FUT account has been gifted with a FS Academy Midfielders Pack which contains all 10 cards. However, you can only upgrade two of the nine, as there are only two of the EVO objectives available.

All of the players start with an 82 OVR and will end the EVO with an 89 OVR. As well as increased ratings and added PlayStyles, they will also gain the Future Star Academy Evos Rarity, which gives them +3 individual Chemistry when playing in position.

According to EasySBC, the Meta Rating for the 10 cards post-EVO is as follows:

Player	Club	Position	Meta Rating Post-EVO
Sydney Lohmann	Bayern Frauen	CAM	94.8
Azzedine Ounahi	Marseille	CM	94.3
Oliver Skipp	Tottenham	CDM	93.6
Yacine Adli	AC Milan	CAM	93.0
Ivan Ilic	Torino	CM	93.0
Mariana Cerro	Athletic Club Femenino	CDM	92.7
Manuel Ugarte	PSG	CDM	92.6
Thiago Almada	Atlanta	CAM	91.2
Sem Steijn	Twente	CAM	91.1
Ismael Saibari	PSV	CM	90.6

Our top choice for this Evolution is Yacine Adli. After the upgrade, he will be a great all-rounder capable of playing pretty much any position on the pitch! Give him a Shadow and he will have 97 PAC and 87 DEF, so more than quick enough for the center of the field or very capable of playing RM/RWB in a three or five-man defence.

For our second EVO slot, we think it has to be Sydney Lohmann. Her stats look very interesting and if you play with a CAM that gets back to defend she looks ideal. We’d prefer slightly better passing and dribbling stats on her, but you can’t have everything! You could add an Engine to achieve that, but we like the card with a Shadow, where her stats would read 95 PAC, 91 SHO, 84 PAS, 89 DRI, 83 DEF, and 88 PHY – with 96 Strength!
