Alright, listen up, fellow FUT managers! So, EA just dropped this new thing called the Facilitator Evolution, and it's basically a cheat code for turning your dusty left midfielders into absolute wizards on the wing. I'm not kidding—this evo is all about making those players who hug the touchline your primary source of assists. Imagine pinpoint crosses that curl right onto your striker's forehead, every single time. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it's here, but there's a catch (isn't there always?). You gotta pony up 50,000 coins or 400 of those precious FC Points to unlock it. Once you do, you'll face eight challenges to complete the transformation. The player requirements are pretty strict too: max 74 overall, max 50 defending, and a maximum of 10 playstyles. It's like finding a diamond in the rough, and I've been digging. Let me walk you through my top picks to turn into left-flank legends.
First up, let's talk about Oscar Bobb. I know, I know, his card says RW, but trust me on this. After throwing him into the Facilitator machine, this Norwegian gem becomes a menace on either flank. His silver card gets a glow-up so massive it's practically a different player. We're talking blistering 92 pace, silky 86 dribbling, and a whopping 87 shooting. The real magic sauce? The evolution gifts him the Whipped Pass PlayStyle+. This isn't just crossing; this is delivering artistic, curving missiles into the box that defenders can only watch. With 5-star skill moves, he'll dance past full-backs and then whip in a cross that's begging to be headed home. A versatile and explosive choice!
Next, we have Chiquinho (or Francisco Jorge Tavares Oliveira for his mom). This Portuguese whiz-kid is a natural left-winger, and his base card already has terrific speed and ball control. Post-evolution, he becomes a multifaceted threat. Like Bobb, he gets that delicious Whipped Pass PlayStyle+, but he also rocks the Incisive Pass trait. This combo is lethal! He can fire rapid passes through defensive lines or launch early crosses that are nearly impossible to intercept. His adaptability is a huge plus—slot him at LW, LM, or even RW, and he'll dominate. He's the kind of player who makes your attack unpredictable.
Now, for our first true left midfielder specialist: Samuel Iling-Junior. The English youngster, formerly of Juventus and now shining at Bologna, is built for this evolution. His evolved card is a perfect blend of offense and defense for a wide role. With 92 pace and 5-star skill moves, he's a nightmare in one-on-one situations. But here's the kicker—his playstyle list is longer than my weekend grocery list: Whipped Pass, Intercept, Technical, Relentless, Bruiser, Slide Tackle, and Incisive Pass. He's an engine! He'll bomb forward, put in a perfect cross, and then track back to win the ball. The complete package for a balanced midfield.
Speaking of gems, let me introduce you to Benjamin Domínguez. This Argentine CAM is a hidden treasure in Serie A that most players overlook. His silver card is decent, but the Facilitator Evolution unlocks his true potential, putting him on par with some of the game's best young attacking midfielders. His major strength is his explosive pace combined with sharp attacking instincts. After evolving him, you have a versatile weapon: play him at CAM, LM, or LW. Wherever he is, he'll deliver defense-splitting passes and accurate crosses. He's that secret weapon your opponent won't see coming.
Okay, here's a curveball for you. What if you need a battering ram up front who can also play out wide? Enter Asier Villalibre. Yes, he's a striker, but his evolved card is monstrous. We're talking 89 physicality and 88 shooting. He's the definition of an overpowered attacker. In one-on-one duels, he just bullies defenders. The evolution boosts him so much that he shatters his original potential rating. Imagine subbing on a fresh winger in the 70th minute who has the strength of a center-back and the finish of a top striker. That's Villalibre. An unconventional but brutally effective pick.
If pure, unadulterated speed is what you crave, look no further than Yankuba Minteh. This guy's evolved card has some of the highest pace statistics in the entire game. Playing him on the right midfield (RM) and cutting inside onto his left foot is a legitimate strategy. His Relentless playstyle means he never gets tired, and his Quick Step PlayStyle+ gives him an explosive start that leaves defenders in the dust. He can win the ball high up the pitch, sprint to the byline, and deliver a cross before anyone knows what happened. Or, he can just dribble past everyone and score himself. A sheer, pace-abusing thrill.
Finally, we reach my number one recommendation: Jhon Durán. Have you seen this guy in the Premier League lately? He's a force of nature! His silver card gets a monumental upgrade, particularly in his pace (92), shooting (88), and physicality (85). He's a clinical finisher with a rocket of a shot. The beauty is, he's also eligible for this LM evolution. So, what you get is an 88-rated striker with the pace of a winger and the ability to play on the left. He can start wide, cut inside, and unleash hell, or stay central and finish every cross his teammates provide. He offers the most direct goal-scoring threat of all the options here. In my book, that makes him the top pick.
To wrap it up, here’s a quick comparison of these evolved gladiators:
