We hope this change will make the game faster while still allowing players to enjoy the comeback moments.

Are you happy with the changes mentioned above for FC 25 First Frost Update? Looking forward to seeing you in the game!

There are a variety of sports video simulation games on the market, and in the football category, FC 25 is the best in every way. The reason it is so popular is not only the exquisite and realistic game graphics but also because of its rich game content and many player cards.

FIFA 25’s player cards are actually a representation of players you can recruit to your team, and you can upgrade these players through various new evolution mechanisms to make them more powerful.

Recently, a Heroic Rise Evolution mechanism was introduced in the game. It targets basic hero cards and can provide them with enhanced attributes and new play styles, making the corresponding player’s card become an iconic card in EA Sports FC 25’s Ultimate Team.

Although Heroic Rise Evolution requires you to consume 100k FUT 25 Coins or 1k FC points to proceed, it can upgrade your players’ speed, passing and defensive abilities, thus improving your gaming experience when facing powerful enemies.

It is worth noting that after obtaining this evolution, you will select players that meet the requirements for this and pass five unique challenges. The requirements are overall up to 86, up to 7 play styles, and you must have a hero card. Based on this, we recommend you 7 FC 25 players suitable for Heroic Rise Evolution according to their abilities.

7. Park Ji Sung

As the recent Manchester United icon, this Korean player currently has an Evo rating of 86 and plays as an LM in the team. If you develop his hero card, he will do a lot of wonders for you on the left wing. This is because his basic offensive and defensive data are very good, and he can play both as an attacker and a defender, depending on where you want to put him in the midfield.

Park Ji Sung’s current hero card data is 85 speed, 85 dribbling, 83 passing, 81 physical fitness, 80 shooting, 78 defense, three stars in skill moves, and four stars in weak foot accuracy. With these data, even though he has retired, he can still perform better than some active players in FC 25.

6. Alexandra Virina Scott

As a defender, Alexandra Virina Scott is also the first female hero player to be promoted on the card. Her Evo rating is 87, she serves as an RB in the team, and her offensive and defensive data are very good. During her career, she has played for clubs such as Birmingham City, Boston Breakers, and Arsenal, and finally retired to Arsenal.

Alexandra’s excellent defensive play and good defensive data will make it difficult for her opponents to break through her easily in the game, especially when she is deployed on the right wing, which is one reason she can become a member of the Hall of Famer.

Her defensive play styles include incisive passes, whipped passes, jockey, anticipate, relentless, and flair. When her hero card is strengthened, she will automatically be listed as one of the best right backs in the game.

5. Joan Capdevila Méndez

Joan Capdevila Méndez from Spain is a hero defender who can be deployed on the left wing. His good speed and defensive stats allow him to keep your team’s flank safe. His Evo rating is 87 and his team position is LB. In addition, his aggressive playstyle allows him to confront any opponent, and his tackle rate is quite high and his foul rate is low.

Currently Joan’s hero card stats are speed 84, dribbling 82, passing 82, physical fitness 83, shooting 79, defense 85, three-star skill moves, and three-star weak foot accuracy. As you can see, his card has great versatility and endurance, which allows him to advance to the front court and support counterattacks, and then return to a defensive position to become your all-around helper.

4. Fara Tanya Franki Merrett

If you choose to develop Fara Tanya Franki Merrett’s hero card through Heroic Rise Evolution mechanic, you’ll find that she will evolve into an amazing player that will boost your team’s chances of winning with top-notch offensive and defensive stats.

Besides her high Evo rating of 87, she also has good speed, passing, shooting, and dribbling stats, allowing her to play a core role in the midfield. In addition, her defensive stats allow her to play as a defensive midfielder for you.

In the past, she has played for top clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Reading, and Everton. In fact, her hero card also has a wide field of vision, which can be used to make unexpected passes and crosses, and finally put the ball into the goal to bring you victory. And her five-star weak foot accuracy allows her to create dangerous attacks with both feet, making it difficult for opposing players to defend.

3. Ramires

As a Chelsea legend, Ramires has an agile card with amazing attacking and defensive styles. His 87 Evo rating also shows that he defends very well, can easily win the ball, and effectively control the game by attacking from CDM position. As a skilled midfielder, he can break through tight situations and create dangerous attacks.

Ramires’ hero card data is 88 speed, 83 dribbling, 82 passing, 83 physical fitness, 81 shooting, 84 defense, four-star skill moves and three-star weak foot accuracy. In addition, his card style includes intercept, chip shot, slide tackle, press proven, relentless, bruiser, and pinged passes, which is very rich.

2. Blaise Matuidi

If you perform Heroic Rise Evolution for this French legend, it will make him one of the best defensive midfielders in FIFA 25 Ultimate Team. He was very popular in the past when he played for Paris Saint-Germain in 2011 and retired from Inter Milan in 2021.

As a defensive midfielder, Blaise Matuidi not only has an Evo rating of 87 but also has a strong power and work rate on the court, allowing him to chase down and seize possession of the opponent. In fact, a midfielder who can control the tempo of the game will affect your gameplay, and Matuidi can do this job.

1. Ledley King

As the player who is most worthy of your Heroic Rise Evolution, Ledley Brenton King’s data on the back line is quite deadly. His super speed and defensive data make him one of the best central defenders in EA Sports FC 25, as he can beat any opponent in a one-on-one situation.

The current icon card data of Ledley King is speed 84, dribbling 75, passing 72, physical fitness 83, shooting 58, defense 89, skill moves 2 stars, weak foot accuracy 4 stars. After his hero card is strengthened, it can predict the opponent’s attack pattern, allowing him to block the opponent’s attack, whether on the ground or in the air.

After this introduction, I hope you can choose the player that best suits your play style to perform Heroic Rise Evolution after entering the official game to give full play to the benefits of this mechanism. I wish you have fun!

Defensive Dynamo Evolution is an activity in EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team that is designed to help players improve the abilities of the defensive players on their team. By participating in this free event, you can enhance your players’ defensive skills, including but not limited to anticipation, jockey, slide tackle, block, and relentless.

It’s worth noting that while you don’t need to pay any additional FIFA 25 Coins to achieve this significant improvement for your players, there are some basic conditions that need to be met.

Specifically, players participating in this evolution must reach a maximum total score of 85 points, and their number of game styles must not exceed 7. Additionally, there is a restriction that the player selected for evolution cannot be the ultimate team-origin hero.

To make it easier for you to choose the ideal candidate for defensive Dynamo evolution, here are some recommended players with compatible play styles.

7. Castello Lukeba

• Evo Rating: 85
• Position: CB

Junior Castello Lukeba’s trailblazer card received significant improvements during this evolution event. Specifically, Lukeba’s evolution card data shows as follows: 85 points for defense, 83 points for physical fitness, 81 points for speed and dribbling, 75 points for passing, 50 points for shooting, two-star skill moves and three-star weak foot accuracy.

It’s worth noting that the only gameplay bonus on his card is jockey, a skill that allows him to better maintain possession when faced with challenges.

6. Hassan Tombakti

• Evo Rating: 85
• Position: CB

Hassan Mohammed Osama Al-Tombakti’s FC Pro Live card has been slightly improved following an update, making him a more worthy option to consider for the ultimate team’s starting lineup.

Specifically, after evolution, Al-Tombakti can unlock and use a variety of advanced defensive skills, including but not limited to rider-style steals, long-distance passes, anticipating the opponent’s movements, sliding tackles, and effectively blocking the opponent’s breakthroughs.

For players who are building or adjusting their ultimate team, including Al-Tombakti in the starting lineup is undoubtedly a smart move, especially if Saudi Pro League is looking for a top center back.

5. Matteo Darmian

• Evo Rating: 85
• Position: RB

Italian point guard Matteo Darmian is a very comprehensive player who can play multiple positions on the court. Whether playing as right back, centre-back or right midfielder, he can play to his strengths.

In the ultimate team, Darmian’s evolution card data performed well, with a defensive ability of 85 points, physical fitness of 83 points, and speed of 84 points. In addition, his dribbling skills scored 82 points, his passing ability also reached 85 points, and his shooting ability, although relatively low, also scored 67 points. He also has three-star skill moves, and five-star weak foot accuracy.

4. Moïse Bombito

• Evo Rating: 84
• Position: CB

Moïse Bombito Lumpungu’s evolution card shows that he not only possesses great speed and physical strength but also possesses powerful aggression. Lumpungu can play at centre-back or left-back, but is ideally deployed on the left wing.

In this position, he can give full play to his speed advantage and create more offensive opportunities for the team. Play styles supporting the young Canadian defender include jockey, pinged pass, block, slide tackle, rapid, and anticipation.

3. Stian Gregersen

• Evo Rating: 85
• Position: CB

Another player worth watching who has upgraded his FC Pro Live card is defender Stian Rode Gregersen from Norway. Besides the significant improvement in statistics, he also has a new defensive style.

His evolution card data shows his excellent defensive ability, with a defensive rating of 85 points, physical fitness of 90 points, and speed of 85 points.

Although he is relatively weak in dribbling, passing and shooting, with 60 points, 65 points and 57 points respectively, his powerful performance on the defensive end is enough to make up for these shortcomings. In addition, he also has three-star skill moves and three-star weak foot accuracy, which further improves his defensive efficiency and flexibility.

2. Gianluca Mancini

• Evo Rating: 85
• Position: CB

Gianluca Mancini is one of the best defenders in FC 25, and having one of his upgrade cards can improve the stability of your team’s defense. The Italy international is known for his excellent defensive skills and is particularly adept at executing a three-man defensive formation.

When faced with the opponent’s fierce attack, he can always quickly adjust his position and effectively organize a solid defense line to ensure that the goal is not lost.

Besides his strong personal abilities, Mancini also has excellent interception capabilities and aerial threat capabilities. He is an indispensable key figure in the 18-yard-box in handling corner kicks and other set-piece offenses.

1. Eder Militão

• Evo Rating: 85
• Position: CB

As a Brazilian football player, Militão has very good defensive attributes, which makes him one of the best defensive options when forming the ultimate team. Eder Militão received the best defensive card in this evolution, a card that gave him the ability to tackle players in EA FC 25.

After this evolution, Militão’s best attributes reach impressive levels: 91 jumping, 85 interceptions, 86 heading accuracy, 85 defensive awareness, 86 stand tackle, 85 slide tackle, 85 stamina, 83 aggression. Based on the above excellent data performance and the use of new defensive strategies, it is foreseeable that in future games, this defender will become a powerful force in the field.

In summary, by carefully selecting and cultivating these Defensive Dynamo Evolution players, you will be more competitive in the game.

Whether you want to experience a relaxing and enjoyable game process or pursue a high-difficulty competitive experience, FUT 25 Career Mode can meet your needs. The game contains countless leagues and teams for players to choose from. For players who like to challenge themselves, winning UEFA Champions League is undoubtedly an attractive goal.

Although many players tend to join teams with top stars and high ratings to gain a better competitive advantage, such choices often lack sufficient fun and sense of achievement. Choosing a team that has historically performed poorly or even on the verge of relegation to start your journey may be more interesting and challenging. Therefore, this guide will recommend nine teams that are the most difficult to manage for you.

9. Cheltenham Town

First, let’s talk about some of League Two clubs on this list. In fact, each club represents an enormous challenge, both in terms of technical and tactical levels. Among many teams, Cheltenham Town has never been promoted to the second tier of English football since its establishment, let alone Premier League.

It is difficult for Cheltenham Town, who has just been relegated from League One, to achieve the goal of promotion again. Although the club has a certain financial foundation as support, it is relatively weak in the training of young players. If you want to cultivate a great striker who can go down in history, then increasing the investment in FC 25 Coins, introducing a high-level coaching team and improving training facilities are indispensable.

8. Cesena

Italian football has cultivated many world-class defenders with its solid defense, cautious strategy, and pragmatic style of play, including legendary figures such as Paolo Maldini.

Cesena last participated in UEFA Cup in 1977, and they have been trying to return to the road of glory since then. However, Cesena, who is currently playing in Serie B, does not have strong financial support, and the highest-rated player in their lineup is only 71 points, which is in stark contrast to giants such as Juventus and AC Milan.

7. Espanyol

Espanyol may not be one of the most tough teams to manage, as it seems on the surface. But the fact that they only have three gold-rated players in their squad doesn’t seem like they have the quality to survive in Spain’s top tier. And they’re also in Barcelona’s shadow.

It’s because of this unique background that we decided to include Espanyol in the game’s challenge. To succeed in this environment, or even topple Barcelona, ​​you need to do almost everything perfectly. Historically, Espanyol has never won a league title, and the last time they tasted Copa del Rey glory was in 2006, which further illustrates the daunting task facing Espanyol.

6. Al Kholood

Al Kholood has a transfer fund of only $2.5 million, and the club is facing severe financial challenges, making it a luxury to bring in international superstars.

The brightest stars of Al Kholood’s lineup are goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe, who is rated 77, and former Watford defender William Troost-Ekong. For such a team, it is easy to see how difficult it is to stand out in a competitive league.

5. Mohammedan SC

With a population of over 1.4 billion, India should theoretically provide a huge talent pool and enthusiastic audience for football, but the reality is far from that simple. Despite the popularity of football in India, the performance of the national team and domestic league is often unsatisfactory.

Among them, Mohammedan SC is one of the worst performing teams in the league. They are at the bottom of the standings and far away from the luxury and glory of Premier League.

4. Crystal Palace Women

Crystal Palace successfully entered Women’s Super League at the end of the 2023/24 season. Although this is a moment worth celebrating, the challenges they face are equally daunting.

WSL brings together many superstars, among whom the most outstanding players include Leah Williamson, Mayra Ramirez and Chloe Kelly. They have all shown their outstanding strength in this top event. And Crystal Palace, who has just been promoted, has only one gold medal player, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty for them to achieve excellent results.

3. Bromley

At the end of the 2023/24 season, Bromley defeated Solihull Moors 4-3 on penalties and was promoted to the fourth tier of English football for the first time in history. Bromley’s success is the result of years of hard work and persistence, which also makes the possibility of their coaching in FIFA 25 even more exciting. Despite the critical financial situation and no extra funds to squander, Bromley is still a club full of potential.

2. Bohemians

League of Ireland is considered one of the most challenging football leagues. It is not a mainstream league and has a low profile in Europe, it also means that players are often reluctant to transfer to this league. Among many clubs, we chose Bohemians as a representative.

Bohemians ranked eighth in the most recent season. They do not have a talented team and are not in a very good financial situation. Coupled with a low transfer budget, this puts them at a disadvantage in the competition. However, this does not mean that they have no chance to win the championship and eventually be promoted to Champions League.

1. Accrington Stanley

Accrington Stanley is currently playing in League Two. They are in a critical financial situation and have a very limited transfer budget. In addition, Manchester United and City have overshadowed them. Despite this, Accrington Stanley has not given up on pursuing higher goals. They need three promotions to enter Premier League, but once they enter Premier League, they can write the club into history.

Each of these teams has unique challenges, and choosing any of them to manage will be an adventure full of challenges and opportunities.

With thousands of kits in EA Sports FC 25, there are always some amazing ones that are loved by players - fashion is always a topic that never fades. It’s great to wear a unique design of a simple or nostalgic kit for the game.

Here are six excellent kits in EA FC 25. They all have different styles and you can choose according to your preferences.

1. Roma Home Kit

Roma officially returns to EA FC series after four years - what better way to debut than with a simple and amazing home kit? This jersey is a nod to the club’s DNA and Campo Testaccio era. Since the club’s nickname translates to “the yellow and reds”, this kit also chooses the carmine red and golden yellow color scheme.

At first glance, you may think that Roma’s home kit is burgundy. In fact, this kit is a deep red base with thin gold stripes, which looks exquisite and generous. There is also a minor detail, where the pattern of “A.S. Roma” is printed on the back of the collar. This inspired by the seasonal tickets from the 1933/34 season, but is sad that this little detail reminder that you may not see it on FC 25.

Upload this jersey to the game! Believe that it will win you more FC 25 Coins.

2. Barcelona Home Kit

Barcelona Home Kit is a simple and elegant red and blue colourway. Nike has re-adopted the split Blaugrana design from the 1999 centenary shirt for the club’s 125th anniversary. The only downside to this kit is that Nike tick is not centralised above the badge.

Barcelona’s greatest ever players have created countless iconic memories. And with EA FC 25, you can wear this one of the best looking jerseys of the year and create lifelong memories with your idolised FC 25 Players too. You might put up a good show in Ultimate Team.

3. Venezia Away Kit

Venezia always looks amazing, maybe because they are located in beautiful Venice - Venezia always incorporates their own unique culture when designing jerseys.

The away jersey uses the traditional orange and green color scheme of Venice, which not only shows the unique identity of the club but also pays homage to street culture. The big and bold orange block letters “Venezia” stand out against the green background, which is very eye-catching.

4. Palermo Home Kit

When it comes to nostalgia, people always think of Palermo club. Their home jersey is amazing.

The classic pink on Palermo Home Kit stands out from the crowd, and the sponsor is an Italian steakhouse chain, which adds a unique personality to it. It is almost perfect, and the retro style jersey reminds people of their glory days with Edinson Cavani, Paulo Dybala and Javier Pastore.

5. San Diego Wave Home Kit

San Diego Wave kit is unique and perfect - of course, it matches the strength of this team very well. San Diego Wave Home Kit is colorful and bold, and it perfectly integrates the club sponsor into the design, making the overall style jump out without losing harmony.

The colorful beach wave pattern makes this jersey stand out among the many jerseys with calm colors.

6. Juventus Third Kit

Juventus’ third kit was named the best jersey in EA FC 25. The navy blue jersey is paired with a carefully designed gold badge and other patterns, which perfectly fits the “simple” theme of this competition.

The details on the jersey are gold, including the iconic Adidas trefoil and a classic club badge, which was first used in the early 1980s. In addition, the textured weave also adds a touch of elegance to this polo shirt.

The above is an introduction to the six unique jerseys in EA FC 25. Besides these, FC 25 has many excellent kits. Different jerseys have different stories behind them. Understanding the design inspiration and details behind the kits will make you love EA FC 25 even more.
