EA Sports has released a new evolution in FC 25 called “Your Little Dog Too”, and it’s turning heads for one major reason: it transforms Kylian Mbappé’s Gold Card into a TOTS-style 94-rated striker. While this is not his official Team of the Season version, it mimics some of the traits and upgrades FUT players expect from a top-tier Mbappé card.
This release comes just before the real 97-rated Mbappé TOTS card, which is confirmed to be part of the La Liga Team of the Season set dropping on Friday. That card will naturally have far stronger stats and abilities. But for players who can’t afford the millions that card will cost, this evolution offers a competitive, affordable alternative.
What the “Your Little Dog Too” evolution adds to Mbappé
When you apply the “Your Little Dog Too” evolution to Gold Mbappé, you boost him from his base version to a 94 overall. Key additions include:
Technical+
Finesse Shot+
Quick Step+- Low Driven Shot
- Upgrade from base stats to match a TOTS-style card
Technical+ improves his control and ball handling under pressure, while Finesse Shot+ and Low Driven Shot give him a dual threat in front of goal. Quick Step+ allows him to burst past defenders in the first few steps, and that’s where this version of Mbappé shines most.
How the 94-rated evolved Mbappé performs in-game
In the current FC 25 gameplay environment, this evolved Mbappé still feels very meta. With 97 acceleration and sprint speed, his first few steps off the mark are lightning-fast thanks to Quick Step+. This makes him extremely dangerous in counter-attacks and sharp movements behind the defense.
His shooting is one of the most consistent aspects. With Finesse Shot+ and Low Driven, he can score from inside and outside the box using either foot. The 5-star weak foot and 5-star skills give him flexibility in both build-up and finishing.
Where this version falls slightly short is dribbling responsiveness, especially in tight spaces. He doesn’t have First Touch or Press Proven, which makes him feel less sharp in quick-tap or last-second control situations. This is especially noticeable when compared to top meta strikers who can snap off instant finesse shots or turn under pressure.

Is evolving Gold Mbappé still worth doing?
Yes. If you own Gold Mbappé and want to bring him up to modern FC 25 standards without spending millions of coins, this evolution is a no-brainer. It gives you a 94-rated striker who still competes in FUT Champs and performs well in high-pressure games.
The best role for him is central striker in formations like 4-2-3-1 wide or 4-4-1-1, where he can stay forward and work off quick transitions. While his passing is still average, his movement and finishing make up for it.
Use the Finisher chemistry style to boost dribbling and shooting further. You can experiment with Deadeye if you need more passing, but that’s a trade-off in balance and agility.
How he compares to other meta options
Even with the boosts, this version of Mbappé is not the best striker in FC 25. Cards like Lautaro Martinez SBC or Barcola Team of the Season may feel smoother in gameplay due to better base dribbling and key playstyles like Press Proven and First Touch.
For example, Martinez has high base dribbling, better control traits, and sharper in-box movement. This makes him feel more responsive when controlling the ball in tight areas or launching quick finishes.
However, Mbappé still has that elite striker “jam”, where the ball bounces favorably, and his physical presence allows him to bulldoze through defenders. In the right hands, and with smart use of L1 and R1 dribbling, this card can still decide close games.
