The revolutionary “Evolutions” system that has transformed how we build and bond with our Ultimate Team squads by allowing players to choose their favourite young player and transform him into a 90 rated card as the season progresses by completing various objectives and challenges.
Here are the crop of new players that are being added –
It is the Brazilian trio that already have a great base gold card.
Talking about Wesley first who is rated 77. He joined Roma on a fee of 25 million euros from Flamengo. His standout performances earned him a place in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A Team of the Year and the Copa do Brasil Team of the Season in 2024. He showed this by scoring on his debut for Roma. He has great base stats already for a RB 88 pace, 74 dribbling, 77 defending and 76 physical these make him a great starter pick.
Estêvão who is rated 78, nicknamed ‘Messinho’ is one of the most hyped players to come from the Brazilian Serie A. His performances earned him several individual awards in 2024, including the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A Best Newcomer and a spot on the Team of the Year. He also won the Bola de Ouro award. He has also had a great start at Chelsea, getting an assist in his first match in the starting eleven by making a great run through the right side and cutting it back for a tapin. His stats also look good for a starter 80 pace and 81 dribbling.
Igor Jesus is rated 75. He has signed for Nottingham Forest this season and is highly noted for his his speed, power, and finishing ability. He has been described as a versatile forward who can get out wide to create space for teammates. He also has great baseline stats 82 pace, 76 shooting and 78 dribbling.
Marc Bernal is touted as a ‘Sergio Busquets’ regen and is rated 68. He was supposed to make his mark last season but an ACL injury saw him miss out the entire season. He is known for his excellent passing, vision, and tactical intelligence. His height of 6’3 and robust physique allows him to be effective in physical duels and aerial challenges. Not to mention his composure and press-resistant ball control. Being a sliver card his stats are not that great but that is the point of Evolutions.
Ayden Heaven rated 68 made his breakthrough last season as a substitute in the FA Cup against Fulham. He then made his Premier League debut against his former club Arsenal, in March 2025. He is definitely one for the future his physicality, pace, and ability to progress the play from the back make him one to watch this season. His 72 pace and 72 physicality make him a good choice for your CB evolutions.
Nico O’Reilly is rated 67. Last year was his breakthrough where, he made 21 appearances. He also made a 24 min cameo against Wolves and looks to be a good rotation option for Man City. He has agreed to a new contract with Manchester City, and the club’s manager, Pep Guardiola, is reportedly keen on keeping him. 60+ on all his stats also make him a very good option for any LB evolution.
Beney is rated 64 and plays for Manchester City’s women team. Last season she played for BSC Young Boys Frauen, where she helped them win their first league title in 14 years, scoring eight times in 21 appearances. She is a great dribbler as evidenced by her 74 dribbling despite being a bronze card and her pace is quite strong at 77 too.
Michelle Agyemang is rated 64 and plays a striker for Brighton’s women team. She made her senior debut for Arsenal at age 16 in November 2022 showing how much potential she was showing at her early days. She is also praised for her confidence and composure, which has allowed her to make an immediate impact at the senior level. Her card does not even look like it belongs in bronze with all her core stats being above 62.
Chido Obi Martin is rated 64. He is one of the most hyped talents we have seen in a long while. His goal scoring prowess caught lot of eyeballs during his time at Arsenal’s academy, one of them being where he scored 10 goals in a single U16 match against Liverpool. Manchester United sniped up the player in October of 2024. He is described as a complete forward or modern target man who is effective in both possession-based and counter-attacking systems. One of his most impressive stats is his 75 pace for such a low rated bronze.
Rio Ngumoha is rated 67. He was considered one of Cobham’s best talents and was attracting attention from a very early age. This led to Ngumoha’s highly-publicized move to Liverpool, a transfer that reportedly seethed Chelsea and led to a temporary freeze on communication between the two clubs’ academies. Just last week he would score in the last min of injury time against Newcastle, scoring the winner with a beautiful curling shot from his first touch which let Nick Pope stunned and in disbelief. His 81 pace also makes him a very interesting player for an evolution and one Liverpool fans will certainly be doing.
