Which player should you choose?
FUTWIZ's Available Players list includes Pedersen at 80 LB with RM among the alternatives, and Ballet at 80 LM with RM and RW alternatives. The sample shows that a card need not have RM or RW as its first position. Confirm your exact card in the in-game selection screen.
Ballet's listed card has 87 Pace, 78 Shooting and 83 Dribbling, so it is a starting point if you want an attacking option. Pedersen's listed card has 78 Defence and 78 Physical if you prefer a more defensive wide player. Compare the finished preview rather than picking only on overall rating.
PlayStyle choice and deadlines
Inspect the in-game PlayStyle options before committing to a path.
The hub shows rounded start-by and expiry countdowns, not exact dates. Read both clocks in game: starting an Evolution and finishing its levels are separate deadlines.
Other Evolutions
Compare Strings of Fate for midfielders and Glow Guard for centre-backs. The Intercept Evolution has its own eligibility rules. Do not assume any of these can be chained without checking your resulting card.
