Welcome to the ultimate guide for the new 1v1 Close Down+ Evolution in EA Sports FC 27 Ultimate Team. This PlayStyles+ Lab evolution allows you to transform your eligible goalkeepers by granting them a brand-new PlayStyle+ completely free of cost.

Evolution Requirements

To be eligible for this upgrade, your player needs to meet a specific set of criteria. The requirements ensure that only specialized cards can take advantage of the boost, specifically targeting goalkeepers who do not yet possess any PlayStyles+.

Requirements

  • # of PlayStyle+ Max 0
  • Position GK
  • Rarity Star Performer

Evolution Levels and Upgrades

The upgrades for this evolution are applied level by level. Keep in mind that if a player is already above the cap for a specific stat, they will gain nothing from that particular boost.

Best Players to Evolve

When choosing who to put into the evolution, Meta Score is FUTMind's own player rating of how well a card plays in game in a given role with its best chemistry style, where higher is better. Here is the standout player for this upgrade based on performance and market value.
Maarten Vandevoordt (ID: 50574527) is the top option to consider. Before the evolution, this 85 OVR Star Performer from RB Leipzig and Belgium comes with 63 DIV, 18 HAN, 47 KIC, 36 REF, 13 SPD, 47 POS, 1★ Skill Moves, and 3★ Weak Foot, holding a Meta Score of 84.7 as a GK - Sweeper Keeper with a Cat chemistry style. After completing level 1, the card reaches an 85 OVR with a Meta Score of 87.2, maintaining the same main stats while successfully gaining the PlayStyle+ 1v1 Close Down. His best roles are GK - Sweeper Keeper at 87.2, GK - Ball Playing at 86.1, and GK - Goalkeeper at 86.0. Available on the console market for 42250 coins and PC for 46500 coins, Maarten Vandevoordt represents a valuable upgrade for your squad.
