The Eighth King of Rome Evolution FC 26

The Eternal City hasn't seen many true stalwarts like Francesco Totti. Having played all of his life only for Roma, Totti was given the moniker of L'Ottavo Re di Roma (The Eighth King of Rome), and his legacy is what FC 26 is honoring with the Evolution.

All the upgrades you get with the Evo are good too, so you may as well find your Ultimate Team's Totti after completion. Continue reading to know all the best players for The Eighth King of Rome Evolution in FC 26.

The five most standout FC 26 picks for The Eighth King of Rome Evolution are:

  • Matheus Cunha (Gold)
  • Óscar Trejo (Cornerstones)
  • Thomas Müller (TOTW)
  • Catarina Macario (Gold)
  • Leandro Trossard (Gold) 

It’s still early days for Evolutions, so it’s best to keep the door open for future upgrade chains. That makes someone who feels good to play with and is much easier to link to a better candidate in the long run. 

Both Cunha and Trejo are clear frontrunners for the upgrade, with each having all their important stats crossing 80s. Since they are from different leagues, you can pick the one based on whichever you find easier to link to. 

You might not fancy the German legend who's next on our list, but the Evo solves his biggest weakness of pace and makes Müller a really well-rounded card. He'll be your perfect CAM if your team chemistry permits it. 

Of course, there are more than just five good eligible cards for the upgrade. Anybody who has near-identical stats as our top picks and plays well will be worth considering.

While the upgrades you get are good, The Eighth King of Rome Evolution is not a must-do in FC 26. 

It is not crazy expensive, and that works in its favor. All our top picks can be bought cheaply off the market, too. So if you do need the positions filled, this Evolution provides a decent solution until you find someone better. 

Regardless, try to wait until the last few days to see if you can chain it with other Evos or if better candidates pop in the upcoming promos and SBCs. 

That's everything about The Eight King of Rome Evolution in FC 26.
