Best Players for The President Evolution

Van Dijk
Probably the most noticeable and also the most ridiculous player you can take through this evolution is Virgil van Dijk. If you are a real fan, you know how immensely great his base defensive stats are. If you combine them with the added stat boosts and playstyles, his card will become one of the best cards in the game. When playing with the Hunter chemistry style, this transformation of van Dijk will be really useful, and also fun if you are looking for that.
Puyol
Carlos Puyol is not generally known for his long playtime in the field. But with this evolution, he gets his physical and defensive stats improved and also roles like CAM and CDM++, which makes him far more usable. If you choose the right settings for him, you can easily turn him into a solid defensive midfielder option with versatile defending as well as attacking abilities.
Other fit players you can choose are Laurent Blanc, William Saliba, Lothar Matthaus, Jules Kounde, Rio Ferdinand and Ronald Arajuo.
Conclusion
The President Evolution transforms your CBs into dynamic midfielders with powerful stat boosts and roles. Choose wisely, complete objectives, and dominate both defense and attack in EA FC 25.
