EA Sports has dropped the most powerful evolution yet in FC 25. The new Condor EVO finally allows players to create their own 99 rated card. And the best part? You can use it on Ruud Gullit, turning him into one of the most unstoppable midfielders in Ultimate Team history.
How Condor EVO works
The Condor EVO is designed for central midfielders and defensive midfielders. It cannot be applied to center backs, so some popular hybrids miss out. The upgrade pushes pace to 94, shooting to 90, passing close to 99, and vision to 97. Defending and physical stats are maxed out, making it perfect for all-round midfielders.
The EVO also provides five playstyle plus upgrades. Bruiser, Tiki Taka, Intercept, Slide Tackle, and Pinged Pass are included, giving evolved players dominance in both attack and defense.
Ruud Gullit with Condor EVO
Ruud Gullit has always been one of the most complete icons in EA Sports FC. With Condor EVO, he reaches a new level. His size, strength, and balance already make him a nightmare to play against. Add 99 overall stats and elite playstyle pluses, and he becomes a true endgame monster.
Whether you use him as a deep-lying playmaker or as a box-to-box threat, a Condor EVO Gullit controls every part of the pitch. For many players, this is the ultimate use of the new evolution.
The cost and controversy
Condor EVO is not cheap. It costs 200,000 coins to unlock. At this stage in FC 25, most players already own several 98 and 99 rated cards from SBCs and the 85×10 grind. That makes the price hard to justify for some.
Critics call it a late-game cash grab. Supporters say it is exactly the kind of content the final month of a cycle should have. While the earlier Triple 98 EVO gave more efficient boosts for free, Condor has the symbolic value of unlocking a 99 Gullit or another favorite player.
Is Condor EVO worth it?
If you are short on coins or focused on cheap 99 SBCs like Rudiger, you might want to skip it. But if you own Ruud Gullit, this is a once-in-a-cycle chance to elevate him into a 99 rated card with five playstyle pluses.
That kind of flex at the end of FC 25 is what keeps many players logging in, even with FC 26 on the horizon.
