EA have released a brand new evolution and we are going to cover everything you need to know about it, including who are the most popular players to evolve as well as the best evolution combinations available using the new released evolution.
Here is some key info about the evolution:
- Cost: 200,000 / 1,000 FC Points
- Start By Date: 3 Weeks
- Expiration Date: 4 Weeks
- Minimum Number of Games to Complete: 9 Games
The requirements and the upgrades which your player will receive are as follows:
The main things to note regarding the requirements is that the player must be a Base Icon, meaning that you cannot put any promo icons in the evolution and they cannot be any higher rated than 89 also the player must have higher than 78 Shooting which rules out a lot of defenders.
The most popular choices for this evolution are:
Lineker is one of the most popular choices for this evolution, the main reasons for this being he has 97 Finishing and 96 Attack Positioning, whilst having good pace.
The few negatives about this card is the 3* skill moves and the 80 Balance, however overall this is a good card.
Socrates is another popular choice and when you look at his card you can see why, he has 4* skill moves and a 5* weak foot, he also has 3 base stats over 90 which are Shooting (92), Passing (92) and Dribbling (91).
The main negative with this card is he has 60 Balance, however this is a great card and personally my favourite choice for the evolution.
Zola is also popular choice, the reasons for this is that he 4* skill moves and 4* weak foot, whilst having great shooting and dribbling.
The only negative to this card is that he is quite small and has low strength and aggression, however when using him you just have to play to his strengths and he will perform well.
A few honourable mentions:
Van Persie gets an honourable mention from me, this is because he has 4* skill moves and 4* weak foot, whilst also having incredible Shooting (95).
The few negatives with the card are his low Balance (74) and his low aerial ability.
Ballack also gets an honourable mention as he has 4* skill moves and 4* weak foot, with an extremely well rounded card with all base stats above 80 and he has M/H work rates which are good for a holding midfielder.
The few negatives on this card are the low Agility (68), Balance (68) and his low Acceleration (81).
Kimpmebro’s Conclusion
This evolution is an evolution which I won’t be doing myself, the main reason being the options are quite limited and the price is quite expensive so this will be a no from me.
If I had an untradeable Socrates then I would consider it, however that is the only player that could tempt me to complete this one.
These are just a few possibilities of who you can put into the new Icon Upgrade evolution, there are plenty other options available and if you want to see them, simply click the link here and have a look for yourself.
