Evolution you're trying to activate: Generous Goalscorer

Name, Rating, and Version of the Item you're selecting for this Evolution: Eddie Nketiah - Evolution Level 2, Path: TOTY Striker Prospect, Weak Foot, Skill Moves - 84 rated.

Do you have other versions of the same player? If yes, mention them.

- No, it did look like it would allow me to enter the TOTW Eddie Nketiah despite having the evolved version already, but I have since discarded that one and the base gold version.

Did you discard another Evo item of that player in the past?

- Yes, I used to have a previously evolved Eddie Nketiah from the Trailblazers Striker evolution (86 rated), which I used in an SBC in order to start the latest Evolution version I have now.

Error message received when you try to select the player:

You already have an evolution version of this player.

Thanks for your help. 

Thank you, @22ChrisF22, for the details.

@ByShadir, do you remember if you also had an evolved Item of Bernardo Silva you submitted into an SBC in the past?

I quicksold the card in question, to then recover the card in an attempt to fix the bug, but unfortunately that created a new problem. The card now crashes the game whenever I try to claim the card from the unclaimed card section in Ultimate team

I cannot submit my Pedro Neto in this evolution either, he is now 80 rated, I only put him into the right star evolution. I did discard his 87 centurion sharp shooter in the past because I wanted him with 5* skills. I currently only have this neto evolution he is toty honourable mentions rarity from the completed right star evolution. Error message: "You already have an Evolution version of this player."

I too have tried to discard and recover this Nunez card only for it to get stuck in my duplicates where all I can do is discard it again.

I have also tried putting the standard gold version of Nunez into the same evolution after I had discarded the evo version only to get the same "You already have an Evolution version of this player" message.

I was really looking forward for this card (it would of ended like in the 3rd picture) since the Fantasy FC Assisting Winger evolution came out. But i wont be able to get it because of this bug and im not happy with it. and i feel kinda scammed because of a bug.
