“It’s evolve or die, really, you have to evolve, you have to move on or it just stagnates.” Do you know which great philosopher said this? No, not Kant, not Marx, not Aristotle, but Craig Charles.
look at him The Friedrich Nietzsche of modern times.
Evolution ensures that we stay ahead of the curve and anyone who has stayed loyal to EA Sports after the departure of FIFA will be well aware of a critical new feature in their new EA FC games.
EA FC “Evolutions” were introduced last year and have been enhanced for EA FC 25. The Ultimate Team feature allows players to customize and upgrade their club cards throughout the year to cultivate iterations of this player owned by very few.
With EA doing their best to keep the UT faithful interested through endless promotions and a variety of card types, committing to an Evolution can provide the satisfaction of a homegrown star starring on the biggest stage. Cards can range from insignificance to cheat codes and the list of possibilities is endless.
Here’s a rundown of some of the best EA FC 25 Evolutions you can create.
There have been tweaks to the feature introduced in Ultimate Team last year, with “Evolutions” now including partial upgrades and the ability for users to change card cosmetics.
The overall premise of Evolutions hasn’t changed drastically, as players need to be assigned to an Evolutions slot in order to begin their journey to a healthy upgrade. Players must then complete in-game challenges with their evo players in order for the card to gain permanent stat and overall rating boosts.
There are requirements which means that not all players in the game can evolve as part of the feature, with some evos requiring coins/points to start. You can only send one evolution at a time and that player becomes untradeable once designated to a slot.
You’ll also encounter time limits when trying to complete a card’s evolution, but you’ll receive all updates for the levels you’ve completed if your Evolution timer expires.
While each Evolution slot comes with a requirement or two, EA offers new Evolutions often, and thus there are thousands of players who are eligible for the paths released so far.
We’ve picked ten stellar options for players to consider, with the size of the rating upgrade not necessarily playing a role in our thinking. Stat tweaks are a big factor as players gain monster boosts in areas of need that see them evolve into fuller cards.
The “No Pressure” slot will set you back, 100,000 to be exact, but hey, the coins are pretty easy to come by and some of the upgrades that players get when they’re designated for this slot just can’t be ignored.
We have chosen Edward Camavinga, Lamine Yamal, Kyle Walker i Tijjani Reijnders as excellent options for this path of Evolutions. All players will be upgraded to an 86, with Camavinga, for example, gaining a healthy pace and improving his shot to make him more formidable. midfield option Meanwhile, Reijnders’ 86-rated card has 80+ ratings for five of the six primary stats, and his pace is up by six. The “Hey Jude” path is a cheaper route to take with the Dutchman, with the +9 shooting upgrade sure to tempt some.

Yamal already has a 95 Ballon d’Or card and an 86 rated League Player of the Month iteration that can be unlocked via a Squad Builder Challenge. However, this will cost you over 300,000 coins, so the “No Pressure” route offers an easier and cheaper alternative to getting your hands on an 86-rank Yamal card.
Few have enjoyed a bigger jump in real life in 2024/25 from 2023/24 than Liverpool Ryan Gravenberch and the newly released Ballon d’Or path means you can evolve the Dutchman’s 78 base card into a phenomenal 86. This enhanced card is part of the “Club Gullit” with six main stats of over 80
‘Les Blues’ is among the best free Evolutions paths and of course there is a litany of Frenchies you can nominate for this slot. Ibrahima Konate is an excellent option, but if you’ve moved away from building a Premier League team and ventured into the realm of football, Juventus rabbit stone he gets a +7 boost to his overall rating, going from 78 to 85 with 86 pace! Give it some Anchor chemistry style and suddenly you have an impenetrable powerhouse that costs very little.
You can also pledge Manchester United Women Melvin Mallard to ‘Les Blues’ and make your card that much more desirable. The not-rare 82 turns into an 85 beast down the left flank with 89 pace and everything but her. defending rating of 80+. Joystick traders might be swayed by Malard’s jump to four-star skill moves.
There are a couple of them Premier League the strikers to sign up as part of the route ‘El club dels cent’ published in November. Kai Havertz he already has an 89 rated Champions League card worth over 400k, but you could win an 86 rated version that will definitely appeal to the masses, especially with CM as an alternate position. The evolved Havertz remains at 6’4 but with 90 pace and an improved shot.
You can also use this path as a form of development John Duran in an unstoppable force. The Aston Villa the man would become an 80 forward – from 74, but then you can go in different directions to further improve the brutal, potentially up to an 86 with the “No Pressure” path.
