Best FC 25 Players to Evolve with Fleet Protector

 

The Fleet Protector upgrade is especially effective for FC 25 Players who already have solid stats in physicality and defending, and who will benefit from a little extra pace and positioning.

    Kylian Mbappé (Ballon d'Or, ST): Already one of the best attackers, this evolution gives him even more presence in duels.

 

    Jude Bellingham (Ballon d'Or, CAM): A complete midfielder who becomes a true midfield general with the added strength and defensive boosts.

 

    Vinícius Jr. (Ballon d'Or, LW): Speedy and technical, he becomes more robust on the wing and better at tracking back.

 

    William Saliba (Ballon d'Or, CB): An ideal fit; the Evolution makes him nearly impossible to get past.

 

    Ronaldo Nazário (Icon, ST): Gains even more physical dominance and becomes a pressing machine.

 

    Cole Palmer (TOTY, CAM): This upgrade brings balance to Palmer's attack-heavy card by making him a better two-way player.

 

    Wendie Renard (TOTY, CB): Already strong defensively, she becomes a dominant aerial and ground duelist.

 

    Dani Carvajal (TOTY, RB): With added pace and anticipation, Carvajal transforms into a lockdown wide defender.
