EA Sports has added a brand-new Evolution to FC 25 Ultimate Team called Catch Me If You Can’t. This latest EVO path is designed specifically for left backs, offering explosive pace boosts, elite defending upgrades and new attacking roles. It is completely free to unlock and is tailored to transform fast, modern fullbacks into complete endgame players.
Catch Me If You Can’t is one of the most impactful fullback Evolutions to date. It adds critical PlayStyle+ traits, expands position flexibility and unlocks multiple boosted stats that make fullbacks not just defensive options but dangerous transition players in competitive squads. It also brings a FUTTIES-themed cosmetic upgrade that fits perfectly with the promo visuals.
Here is everything you need to know about the new Catch Me If You Can’t Evolution in FC 25 including entry requirements, full stat upgrades, PlayStyle+ traits and why it is a must-complete for most clubs.
Catch Me If You Can’t EVO requirements
Before choosing a player for this Evolution, make sure they meet all the following criteria. This Evolution is locked to a specific position type and comes with restrictions to ensure balance.
- Max overall rating: 95
- Max PlayStyles+: 4
- Max total PlayStyles: 10
- Must be a left back
- Cannot be a center back
- Max pace: 98
This makes it ideal for elite LBs that are just below the current meta like Grimaldo, Guerreiro, Geyoro or FUT Birthday Zinchenko. It is not usable on CBs that have LB as a secondary position, which keeps the upgrade focused on true wide players.
Stat upgrades and rewards
Once the Evolution is complete, your chosen player will receive a massive stat boost along with multiple role unlocks and traits that make them far more effective on both ends of the pitch.
Stat boosts:
- +8 to overall rating (up to 97)
- +15 acceleration
- +15 sprint speed
- +5 dribbling
- +10 defending
- +5 passing
- +16 jumping (up to 93)

New role unlocks:
- LB Fullback++

- LB Falseback++
These role upgrades give your player additional positioning flexibility and will help in custom tactics setups for high pressing or wide overloads. With this many stat boosts and tactical upgrades, your LB becomes a true two-way player who can dominate on both sides of the pitch.
Why you should complete Catch Me If You Can’t
This Evolution is free and provides arguably the best upgrade path we have seen yet for fullbacks. With massive pace, defensive and physical boosts, your player becomes capable of tracking back against the fastest attackers while also delivering accurate passes and late runs into the box. The addition of Bruiser+ and Quick Step+ makes your LB feel incredibly agile yet dominant in shoulder challenges and foot races.
It is ideal for players using a three-at-the-back system or 4-2-3-1 where fullbacks often push high into the midfield or overlap wingers. The added weak foot and skill moves also help when switching play or controlling the ball under pressure.
Ideal players to evolve
- TOTS Grimaldo
- Grassroot Pickett
- Guerreiro
- Acuña
- Zinchenko
- Path to Glory Geyoro
Always confirm eligibility using the in-game Evolution menu or FUTBIN before starting the grind. Remember the base version must be 95-rated or lower and not have more than four PlayStyle+ traits. Example Grimaldo gets a 5-star week foot, 5-star skill move, 97 pace, 86 shooting, 97 passing, 95 dribbling, 93 defending, and 94 physic.
