Mirror Mirror Evolution in FC 25

Mirror Mirror is a 10,000 coin or 100 FC Point evolution that allows players to upgrade left-wingers and left-midfielders up to 90 overall. While the caps on stats like pace (92), shooting (87), passing (85), and dribbling (90) are a bit limiting, the cosmetic upgrade to a TOTS card design makes this one of the more visually appealing Evolutions EA has ever dropped.

This Evolution grants boosts to PlayStyles as well, including Rapid+Rapid+, Trickster+Trickster+, and Inside Foot+. With additional attributes such as +25 agility, +25 balance, and even a +1 skill move star, players like Beth Mead (who qualifies due to her LW position) become great options for this upgrade.

However, the naming glitch in the design, which still reads “World Cup Hero” instead of TOTS, is worth noting. While it’s purely cosmetic, it reflects some of the typical EA oversights fans have come to expect.

Starring Role Evolution – Worth 80K?

Unlike Mirror Mirror, the Starring Role Evolution comes in at a steep 80,000 coins. It’s designed for right-mids and offers stat increases up to 90 overall, 93 pace, and 85 defending. The biggest highlights here are the advanced PlayStyles it introduces: Finesse Shot+Finesse Shot+, Pinged Pass+Pinged Pass+, Technical+Technical+, and Trickster+Trickster+.

This Evolution path gives boosts to vision, long passing, curve, and free-kick accuracy, making it ideal for creative wingers or advanced playmakers. With the added benefit of cosmetic upgrades, this Evolution is visually aligned with the retro TOTS design which has drawn wide praise from the community.

One standout candidate is Takefusa Kubo, who can receive 5-star skill moves, technical upgrades, and enough passing and dribbling to turn him into an elite CAM or RM option. While the price might be a turn-off for some, the end result is a very meta card, especially with the FUTBIN community giving it favorable upvotes.

Best Upgrade Strategy for Team of the Season Warm-Up

EA has also launched a new pack grind system that complements both Evolutions and SBCs. The Daily Bronze, Silver, and Gold Upgrades are essential for funneling fodder into the Team of the Season Crafting Upgrade and 83×10 repeatable packs.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the daily grind cycle:

  • Start with Daily Bronze and Silver upgrades
  • Use the Super Silver Upgrade (7x/day) to get 11 common and 3 rare silvers
  • Turn 11 commons into the TOTS Grinding Upgrade for 7 commons + 3 rare golds
  • Feed those into the TOTS Crafting Upgrade (7 commons + 2 rares)

This infinite cycle helps you stockpile enough fodder to complete high-value packs like the 83×10 (4x per day) and eventually unlock rewards from the Crafting Completionist objective: from 83×5 to the final 85×10 pack after 100 completions.

SBC Spotlight: Flashback Eriksen & Icon Drogba

The SBC content also got a major boost. Flashback Christian Eriksen celebrates his inclusion in FIFA 18’s TOTS and comes with 5-star skills and weak foot. However, with five segments including an 89-rated squad and two In-Form requirements, his price feels steep – especially without a Pinged Pass+Pinged Pass+ playstyle. Unless you’re a hardcore Denmark or United fan, this might be one to skip until Team of the Season floods the market with fodder.

Meanwhile, Icon Didier Drogba looks far more attractive. With Quick Step+Quick Step+, Aerial+Aerial+, and Low Driven Shot+Low Driven Shot+, the Chelsea legend is fully equipped for the current meta. Despite requiring 10 squads, the SBC is available for 60 days and is a strong long-term project – especially with TOTS on the horizon.

FC 25 Evolutions and TOTS Warm-Up

Both Mirror Mirror and Starring Role Evolutions offer creative flexibility and aesthetic appeal, with the added bonus of preparing your club for a stacked TOTS promo. While Mirror Mirror is great value and easy to complete, Starring Role might be reserved for your premium RM options with room for technical growth. The cosmetics – especially the Retro 21 and TOTS-themed cards – add that extra flair EA players are starting to genuinely appreciate.

If you’re looking to prep your club with smart upgrades, these Evolutions are worth your attention. Pair them with the infinite upgrade cycle and SBCs, and you’ve got a formula for a stacked club ahead of the most exciting promo of the year.
