As I dove into EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team this season, the FUT Birthday Upgrade Evolution immediately caught my eye—a game-changer for those holding special FUT Birthday cards. For 75k coins or 150 FC points, you unlock the chance to transform these already unique players into absolute beasts. The evolution tailors upgrades positionally: attackers surge in pace, dribbling, and shooting, while defenders evolve in passing, defending, and physicality. Requirements are strict—max 89 overall, no more than 10 playstyles, and that coveted FUT Birthday rarity. I’ve tested several evolved cards, and let me tell you, the results feel like unlocking hidden superpowers. These aren’t just stat bumps; they redefine how players dominate the pitch.
Starting with Martín Zubimendi, this Spanish CDM evolves into a 91-rated maestro. 
His 89 defending and 88 pace make him like a metronome in a storm, orchestrating tackles with rhythmic precision. That five-star weak foot? It turns him into a dual-sided wrecking ball.
Then there’s Antonio Nusa, the 91-rated LM. 
His finesse shots and relentless playstyle transform him into a chameleon in attack, adapting seamlessly from winger to midfielder. Covering every blade of grass, he’s pure electricity on the left flank—no opponent outruns that 90-minute intensity.
Dejan Kulusevski’s 91 CAM card? A revelation. 
With 89 dribbling and lethal shooting, he threads through defenses like a laser through fog. His evolution amplifies that attacking instinct, making him a constant threat from midfield—a true game-breaker.
Defenders shine too. Edmond Tapsoba’s 91 CB evolution is an oak in a hurricane. 
Jockey and Anticipate playstyles turn him into an immovable object. At Bayer Leverkusen, he’s already elite—but evolved? He reads attacks like a prophecy.
Matt Doherty’s 91 RB card is versatility incarnate. 
Shifting from defense to midfield, he’s a Swiss Army knife on the turf. That Premier League experience translates into flawless positioning—no flank is safe when he’s around.
Mats Hummels, at 91 CB, remains a legend. 
His anticipation playstyle feels like a spiderweb catching flies—intercepting passes you didn’t even see coming. With his chemistry-boosting presence, your backline becomes a fortress.
And the crown jewel? Alessandro Florenzi. 
This 91-rated CM evolves into a cheat code with 91 passing and 90 dribbling. Defensive playstyles let him dominate midfield like a chess grandmaster, controlling space with eerie calm. Whether at RB or CM, he’s pure class.
