Among all the factors that can affect your FC 25 gaming experience, the quality of the players you choose is undoubtedly the most important one, because the stronger the players, the higher the chances of winning the game. So it is very necessary to upgrade your player cards regularly. In order to meet your needs, EA Sports FC 25 has always been committed to regularly launching new evolution mechanisms to allow your players to improve. You only need to consume a certain number of FUT 25 Coins or FC points to do this. Recently, in order to promote the game’s biggest annual promotion TOTY, EA FC 25 launched a new evolution mechanism called TOTY Blueprint Evolution, which allows you to earn attribute evolutions for your players by consuming coins or points after completing 6 related tasks. So which FIFA 25 players can play the most value through this evolution? If you don’t know, let us recommend 7 players for you. 1. Iñaki Williams Previously, Iñaki Williams Arthuer played mainly as a winger in the game, but after receiving the buff provided by TOTY Blueprint Evolution, he not only has an EVO of 92, but can also play as a striker, ultimately making him one of the highest-rated strikers in the game. When you complete all challenges for him, his TOTY card will receive a total score of 92, speed 94, dribbling 94, shooting 90, physical fitness 85, passing 82, defense 45, skill moves five stars, and weak foot accuracy four stars. In addition, TOTY Blueprint Evolution also provides him with three game styles, namely rapid, finesse shot, and first touch. 2. Bradley Barcola This talented young player from France now plays for Paris Saint-Germain, one of the biggest clubs in Europe. He is not only an excellent attacker but also has a strong adaptability and can play multiple positions on the court. In fact, his work rate, dribbling and shooting ability all enable him to adapt to the PSG style of play. After evolution, Bradley Barcola’s EVO is as high as 94, and his abilities in almost all positions he can play have been consolidated, making his TOTY card good enough to play as a winger, midfielder, and even forward. If you can add him to the team and strengthen him, this young man will bring you victory with his fast and exquisite shooting style. 3. Cole Palmer As one of the hottest attacking midfielders in the Premier League recently, Cole Palmer’s FC 25 values ​​are very good, not to mention after evolution - in fact, TOTY Blueprint Evolution mainly makes his offensive data very powerful. It is worth mentioning that Cole Palmer is also a member of TOTY men’s team.

When his card gets this evolution, not only will his EVO be as high as 94, but he can even play on the forward line, because his offensive attributes and play style after the upgrade are enough for him to dominate this position. 5. Pedro As a veteran Spanish football player, Pedro started his football career as early as the mid-90s, but he is still active in the game now. Even his FUT 25 TOTY card attributes are not inferior to other young players, especially his speed and dribbling data. He can easily pass opponents and enter their penalty area during the game, showing you the top characteristics of a dynamic striker. Although Pedro mainly plays as a right winger, he also performs well in the right midfield, left wing or forward position because of his versatility. 6. Geyse Geyse is a female player from Brazil with amazing offensive data and physical fitness, as well as good speed, dribbling and shooting attributes. These characteristics are enough to make her get the evolution opportunity provided by TOTY Blueprint Evolution.

Are you confident that you can complete all the tasks? It’s not difficult at all as long as you master the method. And we will provide you with detailed help accord to the content of each task. 1. Make 5 Top Grade Transfers Compared to other tasks, this challenge may be a little tricky because in order to achieve the “top” level transfer, you must get A grade in the transfer rating. And it all depends on your negotiation skills. The more superb your skills are, the more chance you will get of A grade rating. Please note that whether you can get A-level transfer also depends on the difficulty level of the transfer you choose. So before you ask the club for a transfer, always keep in mind the market value of the player you want to transfer back. However, there is a way to help you complete this task more smoothly, which is to sign free agents from the transfer market. To use this method, just go to the transfer market, select five players through the free agent filter, and sign them with the best salary and signing bonus. 2. Promote 3 Youth Players To complete this task, you need to sign several youth players and promote them to the senior team. First, you need to hire youth scouts in the Academy section and sign young players with a potential value of more than 90 to the senior team. Because only they can help you complete this challenge. 3. Shortlist 10 Players First go to the transfer center and then add 10 players to shortlist. Since you have already shortlisted five players in the first challenge, you only need to add another five players from different clubs to your shortlist for this task. 4. Win A Major Competition Compared to the previous challenges, this one requires some gameplay skills and enough time. You need to win the corresponding league according to the club your manager is currently in. In addition, if your club belongs to Premier League, La Liga and other similar leagues, Champions League, Europa League, and Domestic Titles can also be your club’s major competitions. Participate and win to complete this task. 5. Participate In 10 Press Conferences To complete this challenge, you first need to attend ten press conferences in the same save file. In fact, this move not only helps to complete the task but also effectively improves the morale of players and team. So, you can also attend as many press conferences as possible during the subsequent game process to get your team in better game shape before major championship games. However, you only need to attend ten of these conferences to complete this task. 6. Hire 5-Star Coaches When you go to the team management window in the game and go to the coach management section, you can view and hire different coaches to guide the players on your team. To complete this challenge, you only need to hire four 5-star coaches in the coach market. The reason for 4 coaches is to allow all the attackers, defenders, midfielders, and goalkeepers to receive professional training to ensure the development of the team. The specific operation is: hover over the empty coach position and press X to enter the coach market, select a five-star coach and assign them to the corresponding position where they have a five-star rating. Remember, all positions must have a five-star coach. 7. Complete 20 Training Drills In FC 25, players are allowed to conduct up to five training drills every time, so if you want to complete this task, just repeat this process four times before the official match day.

What Are Heroes? Heroes in FC 25 are special football players used in Ultimate Team who have had brilliant seasons at home or abroad and have made significant contributions to their team and club during their careers. Heroes are selected from international men’s and women’s leagues from all eras of football. For example, in FC 24 there were legendary players such as Steve McManaman, Sonia Bompastor and Rui Costa.

You can use FC 25 Coins in subsequent games to get the players you want. 1. Blaise Matuidi Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 88 Blaise Matuidi originally started his career in PSG and also replaced the previously indestructible Claude Makélélé. Blaise Matuidi also played for Saint-Étienne, winning 4 league trophies for the club in his ten years in France’s top league. Although he did not lift European Champions League trophy, football fans all over the world remembered his name after he led French team to win World Cup in 2018. He then left PSG to join Juventus and won three Serie A league titles with this club. This legendary player also has a very impressive overall rating of 85 in the new football video game. If you have him, your team will have a backbone. 2. Celia Šašić Plays Origin Hero Rating: 88 Prime Hero Rating: 91 Next is Celia Šašić, she is a very outstanding female player. After the addition of female players in FC 24, players are also looking forward to the appearance of female Heroes in FC 25. Celia Šašić won the Women’s Champion League with the team in 2015, and in that year, she set a record of averaging one goal per game. In addition, Celia Šašić has won two European Championships, almost sweeping the highest honors in women’s football. In FC 25, her Origin form rating reached 88 points, and in the near future, Prime form rating reached a rare 91 points, which is the highest-rated player among all Heroes. If you use FC 25 Coins to get her, you can expect to see how much influence she will bring to your team. 3. Eden Hazard Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 90 If you use three words to describe Eden Hazard’s ball control talent, it’s Elegance. Sophistication and Beauty. He can dodge the opponent’s defenders with his calm dribbling. When he breaks into the opponent’s penalty area in the game, he will be unimpeded, just like his career path. Speaking of his career, it has to be said. He gradually changed from a compact figure in Lille to one of the greatest players in Chelsea’s history. Although he didn’t have any outstanding performances when he was in Real Madrid, this did not affect his legendary status. The most worth knowing is that Eden Hazard was named Premier League Player of Year in the 2014/2015 season and helped Chelsea win the championship. This indirectly affects his overall rating in the game. I believe that with your correct strategy, he can help you win more games with a rating of 90 points. 4. Jamie Carragher Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 88 Jamie Carragher is not only one of Liverpool’s best ever players, but also one of their greatest defenders. He is best known for his career on Merseyside, playing for the club for over 700 times! Jamie Carragher also helped Reds erase a 3-0 deficit and lift Champions League trophy against AC Milan. He is an unforgettable hero in the eyes of the fans, who admires him for everything, not just an aggressive defender. 5. Jaap Stam Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 89 With players who strike fear into the hearts of their opponents in football, Jaap Stam is definitely one of them. Even the best attackers in the world don’t want to stand in the way of this Dutchman, as he has the best collision, duel and tackle skills in the entire league. He also won Treble at Old Trafford and was hailed as one of the best players in Europe, while also being feared by everyone. Although his Prime rating is only 89, you can’t underestimate his ability in defense. 6. Tim Howard Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 89 Tim Howard has already been called an icon in Premier League, and his longevity and naturalness have earned him an Origin rating of 85 in FC 25, earning him Hero status. This American number one is also known for his ability to stop everything, and he will do whatever it takes to stop the opponent’s attack, and challenged Premier League football early in his career. He eventually chose to settle down with Everton and even helped them reach FA Cup final in 2009. In 2014, he also gave one of the greatest goalkeeping performances of all time for the national team. Tim Howard himself was very happy to be selected as one of FC 25 Heroes and showed that he really likes the goalkeeping position. 7. Laura Georges Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 89 As we mentioned earlier, female players will be officially added to the world of EA FC in 2024. And in this year’s new game, three more Heroes have been added, one of which is Laura Georges. The central defender has had an impressive career in Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon and her nation France. Although she was away from the field for a while during her college years in United States, she is most remembered for winning Champions League in 2011 and 2012 as the captain of Lyon. If you get Laura Georges in your collection, you will get a very good and true leader, and you will save a lot of FC 25 Coins that you would have spent on other defenders. 8. Maicon Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 90 Having mentioned defenders before, now we have the greatest right-back of all time - Maicon. Despite being a Brazilian, he spent most of his career in the southern European country. It was there that he grew from a struggling youngster to a powerful, aggressive defender that everyone feared. His meteoric rise to fame in Supercoppa Italiana laid the foundation for everything he would build on. Then, in four years, the up-and-coming Maicon became a force in world football, leading Inter Milan to the treble and becoming a hero in their eyes. 9. Guti Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 88 Many young footballers would like to work their way through their childhood club’s academy until their first big break, but few manage to do so. Fortunately, Guti did it in spectacular fashion. He joined the club as a child in 1986. He made over 500 appearances and shone throughout his remarkable career until he left in 2010. His excellent vision on the pitch helped him greatly in finding his teammates with ease, which is also an exceptional skill to have in your team. 10. Fara Williams Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 88 Women’s football has been rising rapidly in England and it is becoming more and more popular, especially with European Championship of 2022. But in the time before that, Fara Williams has been laying the foundations. Her experience in the midfield is crucial, but her ability to score goals is equally valuable. Her heroics have earned her several personal honors during her career, including an MBE from Queen. Perhaps this makes her royal nickname Queen Fara perfect. 11. Ze Roberto Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 89 Ze Roberto’s extraordinary skills can be summed up in a few words: Electric, Fast and Frightening. As a dynamic player who always managed to outsmart his opponents, he was adored by all. During Ze Roberto’s time at Bayer Leverkusen, he helped the team reach Champions League final in 2002, while also coming close to domestic titles. It was then that he acquired the ability to shine in any league, at any level, in any competition. Add to that his 84 caps for Brazil and few are as iconic, so his rating in FC 25 is over 85. 12. Marek Hamsik Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 89 In football, a haircut that stands out from the crowd is Marek Hamsik. His mohawk is like Marmite; some love it, some hate it, but it is undoubtedly iconic. But as his talent honed over the years, just like his mohawk, Slovakian shone during his 12 years at Napoli. Marek Hamsik went from a doubter to captain, winning Coppa Italia with the club in 2012 and 2014. 13. Mohammed Noor Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 88 Many fans would assume that Saudi Arabia’s status in world football has been rising, but in fact it is not the case, so Mohammed Noor’s talent has been overlooked throughout his 22-year career. The midfielder became one of the most exciting players ever in Asia because he perfectly mastered the ability to control opponents and throw defenders out of position just by lowering his shoulders. At his peak, Mohammed Noor won European Championship in 2004 and 2005, and he also scored 60 goals for the club in his career. But it is worth lamenting that his talent came too early. If he was born 20 years later, the whole world would definitely be his fans. But thankfully, you can still use him in FC 25 and make him a trump card in your hand. These are all the heroes in FC 25. Hopefully, you can get the heroes you want in the game when it is officially released on September 20. If you have questions about other gameplay methods in FC 25, you can come to iGMeet Discord to ask other players. I believe they will be very happy to help you!

Some time ago, EA Sports officially announced that FC 25 will be released on September 27, 2024. At present, many new Icon Cards have been leaked, and many players are ready to choose the players that best suit their Ultimate Team. It is currently understood that this icon pack contains the greatest players of all time, and their statistics have been upgraded to a certain extent. If you get them in your pocket, your Ultimate Team will not have any problem winning the championship. At present, these Icon Cards do not have a release date, but you can use FC 25 Coins to recruit players for your team in advance according to some players introduced in this guide. If you have any questions about FC 25, please join the player community in Discord and look forward to the arrival of the new game with everyone. In addition, in the community, iGMeet Discord will occasionally release some information about activities that give away FC 25 Coins, so remember to pay attention! Jaap Stam Icon Rating: 89 Position: CB The legend of Dutch football, Jakob Jaap Stam, once again entered FC 25 with his high score of 89. In his time, he was one of the best central defenders. This means that his Icon Cards have exceptional defensive attributes, which can make it easy for your team to control the back line. Some of Jaap Stam’s excellent attributes are: 89 physicality, 88 defending, 78 pace, 73 passing, 70 dribbling, three-star skill moves, four-star weak foot accuracy, and a high defending work rate. In addition, you can rely on some of his signature play styles to help you be invincible in the field. Sergio Agüero Icon Rating: 89 Position: ST Sergio Leonel Agüero del Castillo is a very unfortunate player. Because of his heart disease, he had to retire and could not play on the field. But he got his first icon card in FC 25, with an overall rating of 89 and some considerable improvements to some attributes. If you get his card using FC 25 Coins, you will get a deadly striker that the enemy will fear. Additionally, he has excellent skills in dribbling and a short stature that enables him to penetrate the defense of opposing defenders effortlessly and identify scoring opportunities. The most important attribute in his icon card is his finesse shot play style, which works perfectly with his 89-point shooting attribute. Guti Icon Rating: 88 Position: CM Guti, a legend of Real Madrid, also entered FC 25 with a total score of 89 points and performed well in the midfield position. In addition to his own attributes, Guti also has a very strong organizational core ability, which makes him likely to give your team skilled team cohesion. In addition to the midfield position, you can also put him in the attacking midfield position or the winger position, which will make your Ultimate Team have a considerable impact. Guti’s icon card has many excellent attributes, such as 89 rating, 77 pace, 92 passing, 84 shooting, 88 dribbling, 72 defending, 74 physicality, five-star skill moves, and five-star weak foot accuracy. Arjen Robben Icon Rating: 88 Position: RM As one of the most legendary speedsters in the world, you can put Arjen Robben’s icon card in the position where he is most skilled with an overall rating of 89. The former FC Bayern Munich player is well known for his excellent dribbling and explosive speed. If you want a player who can easily outrun his opponents, then you can definitely choose Arjen Robben. In addition to the attributes just mentioned, his left foot shot power is also very strong, so he will be the most lethal player in the right half of the field. Some attributes of his icon card have also been upgraded, and now have 93 pace, 87 shooting, 85 passing, 89 dribbling, five-star skill moves, and four-star weak foot accuracy. Bale Icon Rating: 89 Position: RW As a recently retired Real Madrid winger, Gareth Frank Bale enters the FC 25 with an overall rating of 89. This handsome winger is not only famous for his speed and shooting power, but also for his acrobatics and cutting in. After retiring in 2023, Bale’s attributes in the icon card in FC 25 have also been upgraded. Now he has 95 pace, 89 shooting, 84 passing, 87 dribbling, 81 physicality, five-star skill moves, and four-star weak foot accuracy. These dense attributes will definitely help your Ultimate Team win more games. Buffon Icon Rating: 90 Position: GK This Italian football legend, Gianluigi Buffon, is also one of the new FC 25 Ultimate cover characters and has received an icon card with a total score of 90 points in the game. His excellent shot saves and reaction ability make him one of the best goalkeepers in Ultimate Team. His current stats are: 91 diving, 90 handling, 80 kicking, 92 reflexes, and 93 positioning. If you place his icon card on the goal line, it will block most incoming attacks, especially in 1v1 situations. But it will cost you more FC 25 Coins, but trust me, it must be worth it! Maradona Icon Rating: 95 Position: CAM The late Argentine legendary star Diego Armando Maradona entered this FC 25 with a total rating of 95 points and ranked first among the best icon cards. I believe that every football fan has a high respect for Diego Armando Maradona and is very willing to include him in his Ultimate Team. His card stats are currently known to be: 92 pace, 93 shooting, 91 passing, 96 dribbling, five-star skill moves, and five-star weak foot accuracy. With this data and unique playing style, I believe your opponents will shudder when you use it. After seeing the data in the Icon Cards of these dominant players, are you looking forward to EA FC 25, which will be released on September 27? All you have to do now is to prepare your FC 25 Coins and choose the player you want the moment you enter the game!
