Best players for the Start Your Engine Evolution
Here are the best players for this evolution slot:
- Globetrotters Joelinton
- Marcos Llorente (Combo)
- Centurions Emre Can (Combo)
- Track Stars Federico Chiesa
- TOTW Cristiano Ronaldo
1. Joelinton
If you are looking for a physical Box-To-Box midfielder, Big Joe is your man. The boost to passing, dribbling and the addition of the Tiki Taka PlayStyle will transform this Premier League midfielder.

2. Marcos Llorente
Utilising a combination of TOTY XI and Start Your Engine, Marcos Llorente becomes one of the most well rounded and versatile "free" players in the game. The raw pace and Tiki Taka+ blend isn't something you see frequently in FC 25.

3. Emre Can
Another combination evolution, Emre Can will excel in the defensive 3rd of the pitch. The huge boost to his pace and ability on the ball make for an extremely well rounded holding midfielder.

4. Federico Chiesa
The first attacking player in this selection, Start Your Engine turns Chiesa into a competent chance creator. This is extremely useful as it means you no longer need to use a chemistry style to boost passing, allowing the use of something like Hawk to boost pace, shooting and physical.

5. Cristiano Ronaldo
The flaws in Ronaldo's Gold and TOTW versions are all in the passing, pace and dribbling categories. Therefore, this evolution which focuses on those stats is ideally placed to give him an optimal boost.

Is the Start Your Engine Evolution worth it?
Absolutely! This is a free evolution, so it's rarely not going to be worth it. However, it's also worth the overall boost it gives, as it has the potential to completely fix key weaknesses a player has.
