Best players to use in Selhurst Samurai Evolution
Here are some of my best recommendations to include in the evolution.
- Neymar (Combine with chain evolutions for best results)
- Neymar Festival of Football
- Gullit TOTY Icon
- De Bruyne Winter Wildcards
- Marek Hamsik Prime Hero
- Bruno Fernandes TOTW
- Casemiro World Tour
- Pogba Ultimate Scream
- Petit TOTY Icon
- Zico Winter Wildcards
- Reus TOTY HM
- Zielenski TOTS
To make the most of the evolutions, try to combine them with other evolutions. Ideally, you want to go for cards that have 90+ stat (or improve it with another evolution). This evolution works well for CDMs as well due to the boost to their defensive stats. While I would have preferred the upgrades to be cheaper, it’s not a bad evolution if you know how to use the offered boosts.
