EA Sports has dropped a new evolution in FC 25 called Low Driven Legend, and while it might not seem like a game-changer at first glance, some of the upgrades it offers are sneaky good. With playstyle plus boosts like 
first touch+ and 
low driven shot+, this evolution can significantly increase the viability of previously overlooked cards. The right chemistry style and player choice make all the difference.
Here’s a detailed look at the best meta players to evolve using Low Driven Legend and how to get the most from this new upgrade path.
What is low low-driven legend in FC 25?
The Low Driven Legend evolution in FC 25 focuses on improving players by giving them the low-driven shot+ and first touch+ playstyles, with stat boosts across dribbling, pace, and shooting. This makes it ideal for players already used in attack but who could use a bit more finesse and control on the ball.
Even better, the evolution can be applied to a number of well-loved icons, rare golds, and even older cards that might have sentimental value.
The ideal use of this evolution is to take a player who already has a solid foundation and make them more dangerous in-game with better touches and finish inside the box. Combining this with the right chemistry styles, especially engine or hawk, can create a serious goal threat.
Top meta players for low-driven legend in FC 25
Cristiano Ronaldo (Winter Wildcards or Special versions)
Ronaldo cards have historically suffered from clunky dribbling upgrades, but this time EA got it right. Applying the Low Driven Legend evolution to Ronaldo gives him first touch+, low driven+, and keeps his advanced forward+ playstyle. Combined with a massive dribbling boost, this makes him a more responsive and threatening striker. He works well with an engine or hunter, depending on your preferred playstyle.
Kenny Dalglish (Icon)
Dalglish is a top-tier pick for this evolution. His five-star weak foot and existing finishing stats make him an ideal low-driven finisher. With Low Driven Legend, he gets driven shot, press proven, and fits perfectly into an engine chemistry style. You can also go for hawk if you don’t mind slightly heavier dribbling.
Rafael Leão (Rare Gold or Hawk 2 upgrade path)
Leão is already quick and physical, but lacks finesse in tight spaces. The addition of first touch+ and low driven shot+ through this evolution adds an extra layer to his game. He’s a taller player, so improving his dribbling via engine is a must for most users. If you don’t mind a bit of heavy touch, hawk is also a solid alternative for better strength and shooting.
Gareth Bale (Flashback or Special versions)
Bale gets turned into a striker with advanced forward+, and this evolution boosts his usability in that role. While some may prefer finisher to improve shooting and dribbling directly, engine offers a more complete feel. First touch is particularly important for taller forwards like Bale, and this makes a real impact on responsiveness.
Seydou Doumbia (Free Card)
If you still have Doumbia in your club, this evolution is a perfect match. His upgraded version now has four-star skills and weak foot, and the playstyle boosts make him a budget beast. Especially interesting with potential Team of the Season upgrades ahead, this is a fun and smart pick if you want value without spending coins.
Hidden gems and budget picks
Rodrigo (Real Madrid)
Rodrigo has solid stats, but the real appeal is his upgrade potential. The base version with engine feels smooth already, and the addition of both key playstyles makes him future-proof for later evolutions. This is a great card to evolve if you want to invest long-term.
Fernando Torres (Icon)
Another great budget-friendly icon evolution. Torres with Low Driven Legend gets solid dribbling and finishing boosts, making him way more viable in Weekend League. Use engine to bring out his 
finesse shot+ and rapid playstyle traits.
Pedro Neto
Neto’s stats and playstyle make him ideal for this evolution, especially if you did Hawk 2 before. He has a five-star weak foot, press proven, and can be upgraded further with other EVOs. While not elite meta, he’s extremely usable and a top-tier RTG-friendly pick.
Pick players with sentimental or long-term value
The best approach to using Low Driven Legend is to think about what evolutions could come next. Cards with good base stats and favorable traits (like high weak foot or existing playstyle+) become powerful when you stack evolutions. This EVO is especially valuable for attackers who just need a bit more finesse in the box.
Think about cards like Alex Morgan’s SBC version, or lesser-used items that could come back strong with the right upgrades. If you’re investing, do it with the goal of long-term usability or sentimental attachment.
