EA’s latest Evolution in FC 25, Alpine Wall, is one of the most game-changing releases yet and has set the market on fire. Ultimate Team players are scrambling to fit Theo Hernández into this EVO, which transforms him into a 90+ rated center back with elite mobility and defensive presence.
Alpine Wall offers stat upgrades and playstyle boosts that are almost unheard of for the cost, only 50,000 coins. And with minimal restrictions, the options for upgrades are wide open. But no player fits the mold better than Theo, and the community knows it. His gold and inform cards are already extinct on the market as players rush to create one of the most broken defensive cards in the game.
Alpine Wall EVO requirements and max upgrades
Here are the requirements you’ll need to meet to apply this evolution:
- Overall: Max 91
- Pace: Max 96
- PlayStyles: Max 10
- PlayStyles+: Max 3
- Position: LB
And here are the total upgrades the card will receive once fully evolved:
- +7 Overall (up to 93)
- +12 Dribbling (up to 90)
- +9 Pace (up to 93)
- +7 Shooting (up to 80)
- +12 Passing (up to 90)
- +13 Defending (up to 92)
- +14 Physical (up to 90)
- +2 Weak Foot (up to 4*)
Playstyle boosts:
- +Anticipate (PS+)
- +Jockey (PS+)
- +Quick Step (PS+)
This EVO also grants new roles:
- Holding++
- Centre Half++
- Deep-Lying Playmaker++
This is a massive boost package for a card that already dominates left side defense. Theo’s pace hits the cap at 90, while his defending and physical stats push well into elite-tier numbers. Add in 
Anticipate+ and 
Quick Step+ and you’re looking at a card capable of stopping any attacker in the game.
Why Theo Hernández is the ideal Alpine Wall card
Theo already comes with elite stats, body type and links. Now with Alpine Wall, his defensive capabilities skyrocket and he gains the flexibility to play CB without needing position changes or chemistry adjustments.
Many players who evolved Theo previously with 
Bruiser+ or 
Pinged Pass+ are now re-evolving him using the gold or inform versions that meet the new criteria. This EVO turns Theo into a monster at the back – quick, agile and strong, with top-tier tackling and interception abilities.
With his increased agility and balance from the evolution, Theo can now keep up with smaller, more nimble attackers, something traditional center backs struggle with. That makes him a perfect hybrid between a full-back and a modern meta center back.
No wonder both versions of Theo that qualify are already extinct.

The evolution that changed the game
Alpine Wall is also a sign of where EA is headed with Evolutions. The community has been receiving an EVO every day lately, but few have shifted the meta like this one. Between its flexibility, stat growth and low cost, this might be the most impactful defensive EVO ever added.
What makes it special:
- Three strong defensive PlayStyle+ boosts
- Massive stat growth in defending and physicality
- Affordable for casual players at 50K coins
Other players that benefit include Camavinga, Balde, Gvardiol and even older cards like Jordi Alba. But no one fits the stat limits and player profile better than Theo Hernández.
This isn’t just an upgrade – it’s a position shift that creates an entirely new level of dominance. Whether you play him as a left back or convert him to center back, Theo is now again one of the most meta cards in FC 25.
