EA has just dropped the new Finesse Express Evolution in FC 25, and it is completely shaking up the game. This Evo is allowing players to create cards that look nearly Team of the Season level, with multiple stats hitting 95+ and two powerful PlayStyle+ upgrades. Many of these are being combined with the 99 Dribbling Evolution, making for some of the most insane custom cards we’ve seen so far.
With a 30,000-coin price tag, this new Evolution is relatively cheap for the impact it provides. The key stats include a max overall of 88, 94 Pace, 90 Shooting, and 88 Dribbling, but what really sets this Evolution apart are the PlayStyle+ upgrades:
- Finesse Shot+ – One of the most overpowered shooting traits in the game.
- Tiki Taka+ – A huge boost for passing and quick play.
This Evo is opening up wild new combinations, especially for players who have already been evolved using previous upgrades. Cards like Rafael Leão, João Félix, and Endrick are reaching unreal levels, looking like multi-million-coin market cards but crafted for a fraction of the price.
Market Impact – Meta Strikers Dropping as Evo Cards Take Over
With so many players taking advantage of this new Evolution, the transfer market is shifting drastically. A ton of coins are being spent on evolutions instead of high-end market cards, which is driving the prices of meta Strikers down.
For example, top-tier cards like Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise saw significant drops. Mbappé was at 840,000 coins, but after the release of Finesse Express, he fell by 100,000 coins. Similarly, Olise dropped from 900,000 coins to 765,000 coins due to a lack of demand for traditional market options.
Meanwhile, the players that can be used in this new Evo are skyrocketing in price. Cards like:
- Rafael Leão (Fantasy FC version) – Went up massively due to his compatibility with this new Evo chain.
- Brennan Johnson – Another insane upgrade potential through the evolution process.
- João Félix – One of the best-looking final forms using this Evo.
If you’re holding onto Strikers who aren’t part of this new Evo system, now might be the time to sell before their value drops further.

Fantasy FC League – New Upgrades and Big Investments
The Fantasy FC League continues to dominate the FC 25 scene, and EA has now confirmed weekly Monday upgrades for players based on real-world performances. This means cards are getting boosted faster than expected, making them even more desirable.
Some of the biggest Fantasy FC upgrades this week include:
- Jens Petter Hauge – Received Chip Shot+ and Pinged Pass after a strong performance.
- Aurélien Tchouaméni – Upgraded with Incisive Pass and Slide Tackle.
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – Gained Power Shot and Rapid PlayStyles, making his card even deadlier.
These fast upgrades mean that investors and traders are keeping an eye on live matches to predict which players might get boosts and increase in value.
If you’re looking to make some smart investments, keep an eye on players who could be involved in key matches. For example, Heung-Min Son and Manuel Akanji face off in a big Premier League match, and any goal or clean sheet could result in massive value spikes.
Upgrade SBCs Incoming – 83×10 and More to Drop Soon?
Tuesdays in FC 25 have consistently brought out some of the best Upgrade SBCs, and today should be no different. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen 83×14, 85+ Doubles, and Fantasy FC trade-ins.
With the 85+ Double upgrade SBC expiring today, we could be looking at a replacement like:
- 83×10 or 83×14 repeatable packs
- A new 82×20 Upgrade SBC
- A Fantasy FC guaranteed player SBC
Investors are preparing for Team of the Week (TOTW) requirements, as past upgrade packs have demanded TOTW cards. Right now, TOTW cards are still sitting at 13,000 coins, but if an SBC requiring them drops today, they could spike to 15,000-17,000 coins quickly.
If you have TOTW cards, start lazy listing them now for 15,000-16,000 coins. If EA brings back an 83×10 with a TOTW requirement, these could sell fast.
Are We Getting a Guaranteed Fantasy FC Trade-In SBC Today?
One big question is whether EA will drop a guaranteed Fantasy FC player trade-in SBC today. In past promos, we’ve seen guaranteed player packs for Future Stars and Grassroots Grades, but the Fantasy FC Team 1 lineup is a bit different.
There isn’t as much “fodder” level content in this promo compared to previous ones. While a Fantasy FC trade-in SBC next week for Team 2 seems possible, today’s content might focus more on upgrade SBCs rather than guaranteed Fantasy FC packs.
Rush Point Refresh and Possible New Fantasy FC Cup Mode
A couple of other things to watch for today:
- Rush Point Rewards refresh – Make sure to claim your points and check for any new objectives.
- New Fantasy FC Cup mode – EA confirmed that the Fantasy FC Cup will refresh twice during the promo, bringing new entry requirements and rewards.
If a new Friendly Mode requirement drops today, we could see some silver or bronze meta cards skyrocket if they are required for participation. Keep an eye on leaks and Foot Scoreboard to see if new requirements drop.
Final Thoughts – Evolutions Are Dominating FC 25 Right Now
Right now, Evolutions are carrying FC 25 more than any other content. The Finesse Express Evolution is arguably one of the best we’ve had, allowing players to create ridiculously overpowered cards that would cost millions if they were on the transfer market.
Between new Evo chains, Fantasy FC upgrades, and potential SBCs today, there’s a lot happening in FC 25. If you’re looking to build an insane squad without spending crazy coins, take advantage of these Evo chains before prices rise further.
