The Goal Guardian Evolution is now live in FC 27, and you can upgrade a custodian from your Ultimate Team club. The evolution doesn’t look too bad when you consider that it’s available for free.
Here are the best contenders to consider for the evolution based on the upgrades and the requirements.

Once again, you’re not going to get a starting custodian by completing this evolution. Most evolutions so far have been underpowered compared to what we got during the same time last year. However, there will be more evolutions in the future, and chaining them could eventually make the evolved card good enough for a starting role.
