Doumbia, Gervinho, and Ibarbo’s 90-rated stats in FC 25
Once fully upgraded, these three players will have insane stats that make them some of the best attackers in the game:
- Doumbia (90 rated) – 94 Pace, 90 Shooting, 91 Dribbling, 80 Physical
- Gervinho (90 rated) – 94 Pace, 85 Shooting, 88 Passing, 92 Dribbling
- Ibarbo (90 rated) – 94 Pace, 80 Shooting, 86 Passing, 92 Dribbling, 85 Physical
These stats are perfect for anyone looking for rapid attackers who can tear defenses apart. With 94 Pace across the board, they will be unstoppable in counterattacks, just like they were back in FIFA 15.
Optional paid Evolution for 99 Pace upgrades
For those who want to take these cards even further, EA Sports is also offering a paid Evolution that can boost them to 99 Pace. This upgrade will cost 150,000 coins per player (450,000 coins total for all three). Along with the Pace boost, this upgrade could also improve their overall rating to 92-rated versions.
While the free version already gives you incredible players, those who want to maximize their speed might find the 99 Pace upgrade worth the investment.
The return of FC 25 legends
This isn’t the only exciting news for FC 25 Ultimate Team. According to leaks, Franz Beckenbauer is also making his return on March 21st, alongside other FIFA legends. His official card stats haven’t been fully revealed yet, but his return is expected to be one of the biggest moments in FC 25 so far.
