Best players to use in The Landlord Evolution
Here are some of my best recommendations to include in the evolution.
- Isaak Toure FUTTIES
- Maldini Trophy Titans
- Van Dijk TOTY
- Bouaddi Future Stars (requires a chain)
- Van de Ven items
- Saliba RTTF
- Konate Glory Hunters
- Romero Glory Hunters
- O’Reilly TOTS Breakthrough
- Schouten TOTS
- Arrey-Mbi Showdown
While you can use CBs in this evolution, you can easily use a CDM card. There’s a bunch of FUTTIES CB that can play as CDM. All of them can receive wonderful boosts if you manage to create a great chain.
