Trends in FC 25: New French Meta and Evolution Opportunities

FC 25 has entered an intriguing new phase, with fresh content and specific meta trends emerging in gameplay and market dynamics. As EA continues to release unique evolutions, objectives, and SBCs, the emphasis on certain nationalities and leagues has affected team building and trading in the FC 25 market. Recently, the focus has been on the French player base, making it advantageous to build around France-centric lineups. Here’s a breakdown of current trends in FC 25 and how you can leverage them to enhance your squad.

Rising French Meta in FC 25

One of the noticeable shifts in FC 25 is the strong emphasis on French players, with various French cards receiving special boosts and upgrades. This trend aligns with EA’s “World Tour” theme for Season 2, introducing multiple French players through SBCs, objectives, and evolutions. Notable additions include powerful cards like Moussa Sissoko’s SBC, which gained traction among players seeking high-quality, linkable midfielders.

Key French Players and Their Influence on the Market

The focus on French players impacts not only team chemistry but also the in-game market. Cards such as Sissoko and Moussa Diaby have seen price increases due to their high demand for squad links. Popular French players, especially those with unique play styles like Trivella Plus and Intercept, are driving prices up across the board.

Icons like Laurent Blanc and center-backs like Ibrahima Konaté with boosted Pace stats are among the most sought-after players, particularly as EA offers various French evolutions that add special skills and stat upgrades.

Popular Evolutions: Best Choices and New Trends

EA has continued its evolution content with recent releases like the Hey Jude Evolution inspired by Jude Bellingham, which offers unique boosts to specific attributes for midfielders. Evolutions such as Hey Jude and Les Bleus have become essential tools for players looking to upgrade their cards’ overall stats and skill sets, especially for cards that need versatility and staying power for future meta shifts.

Best Players to Evolve in Hey Jude and Les Bleus

• Mattéo Guendouzi: Guendouzi’s Playmaker Plus+ evolution makes him an ideal CM with enhanced passing and vision. When evolved, his stats make him a solid choice for central or defensive midfield roles.
• Curtis Jones: As a Deep-Lying Playmaker with Intercept, Jones’ evolved version is a powerful CDM, offering both offensive and defensive capabilities. His play styles suit players who need a holding midfielder for a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 setup.
• Lucas Paquetá: The Brazilian Paquetá benefits from Relentless Plus and Playmaker Plus+, making him effective in a CAM role. His enhanced playmaking abilities are well-suited for fast transitions in attack-focused setups.

Evolving Pace for French Players in Les Bleus Evolution

The Les Bleus Evolution introduces specific boosts tailored for French players, allowing for improved speed and defensive stats. This evolution grants players like Konaté and Jules Koundé high Pace, up to 89 for Konaté, making them formidable defensive anchors. While some players receive mismatched play styles, such as Tiki-Taka for a center-back, the raw stat increases make these cards highly desirable for defensive roles.

Trailblazers Team 2 and Other New Additions

With the release of Trailblazers Team 2, players like Ousmane Dembélé and Bremer gained significant upgrades. Dembélé, known for his dribbling and speed, has become a standout due to his high shooting upgrades, while Bremer received strong defensive boosts, enhancing his ability as a center-back.

Although Team 2 falls short of the excitement generated by Team 1, cards like Grimaldo (a left-back with improved Pace) and Lucy Bronze for budget-friendly builds still offer excellent value.

Objectives and SBC Updates

FC 25’s daily objectives are easy opportunities to earn rewards. Players like Nuno Tavares have become must-have options, especially when evolved. This objective offers defensive and physical boosts, making Tavares a reliable left-back or left midfielder. Completing objectives like daily play tasks for rewards, including high-rated player packs, is also essential for those looking to maximize their progression throughout Season 2.
