EA FC 25 El Pibe Evolution guide: Best players to use, all upgrades, requirements, and more

EA Sports has released the EA FC 25 El Pibe Evolution in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to upgrade their central attacking midfielders (CAMs) on the virtual pitch. This EVO is based on the abilities of legendary Colombian playmaker Carlos Valderrama, and it costs around 50,000 FC Coins or 200 FC Points to be unlocked.

This is the latest EVO to be added to the game during the ongoing MLS and Saudi League TOTS promo. While it is a paid EVO, the boosts on offer make the EA FC 25 El Pibe Evolution a worthwhile proposition.
