In the ever-evolving world of EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team, a new force emerges, turning promising talents into unstoppable track stars on the digital pitch. The Track Thunder Evolution is the talk of the town in 2026, a game-changing feature that doesn't cost a single coin or FC Point. It's all about the grind—selecting eligible players and conquering six phases of challenges. The criteria are strict but rewarding: a maximum overall rating of 83, dribbling capped at 91, and no more than eight PlayStyles. For those who succeed, the payoff is monumental, transforming solid players into defensive and midfield juggernauts with turbocharged pace, unshakeable balance, and ice-cold composure. Let's meet the seven gladiators who've been reborn through this evolution.
7️⃣ Eduardo Camavinga: The Midfield Dynamo
Talk about a glow-up! Eduardo Camavinga's evolution into an 86-rated CM is nothing short of spectacular. This isn't just a stat boost; it's a full-blown metamorphosis. The once-promising midfielder now operates with the engine of a sports car and the grace of a ballet dancer. His newfound stamina, agility, and balance mean he can boss the midfield from box to box for the full 90 minutes, no sweat. What really makes him special is his versatility—you can slot him in as a left-back or a defensive mid, and he'll still perform like a man possessed. Getting his evolved card is like finding a cheat code for your team's spine; it solidifies everything. He's the ultimate Swiss Army knife in your squad, ready for any tactical puzzle the opponent throws your way.
6️⃣ Pierre Kalulu: The Stoic Guardian
Pierre Kalulu's journey from Lyon to AC Milan, and now as a mainstay at Juventus, reads like a footballing fairy tale. His Track Thunder Evolution card turns that story into an epic. As an 86-rated CB, he becomes an immovable object. With stats like 86 Pace, 84 Defending, and 84 Physicality, he's the guy you want when the opposition's star striker is bearing down on goal. Seriously, trying to get past him feels like running into a brick wall... that can also out-sprint you. While his dribbling (76) and passing (73) are respectable for a defender, it's his pure defensive grit that makes him one of the best centre-backs in the game right now. In a league full of stars, this evolved Kalulu card shines bright.
5️⃣ Japhet Tanganga: The Aerial Enforcer
Japhet Tanganga's evolution proves that sometimes, the best upgrades are the simplest ones. His 86-rated card receives a massive boost to one critical attribute: jumping. This turns the Spurs man into an absolute monster in the air, whether he's clearing danger in his own box or threatening in the opponent's. Deploy him as a CB or RB, and he'll be a nightmare to bypass. His PlayStyles tell the whole story: Rapid, Jockey, Block, Bruiser, and Relentless. That's the recipe for a defender who doesn't just stop attacks—he erases them. At 25, this evolution feels like it's unlocked his true potential, making him a cornerstone for any Ultimate Team defense looking for steel and versatility.
4️⃣ Jorrel Hato: The Teenage Phenom
If there was ever a "can't-miss" prospect in FC 25, it's Jorrel Hato. His base card is a smart buy in Career Mode, but his Track Thunder Evolution turns him into a defensive beast. An 86-rated CB with 89 Pace and 83 Defending? That's the kind of speed and skill usually reserved for wingers, not centre-backs. His PlayStyles are a thing of beauty, blending defense with technical flair: Technical, Jockey, Intercept, Quick Step, Pinged Pass, and First Touch. This isn't just a defender; it's a modern ball-playing libero who can spark attacks from the back. He's living proof that in 2026, the best defenders do more than just defend—they control the game.
3️⃣ Enrico Delprato: The Anticipation Artist
Enrico Delprato's evolution is where science meets art. His upgraded card grants him an almost psychic ability to anticipate opponents' moves, a rare and invaluable trait. Imagine having a player who seems to know what the attacker will do before they do it—that's Delprato. His evolved Inform card transforms him into a multi-angle shot-blocking machine. Protecting your goal line with him feels... easy. And with reduced fatigue from his Relentless PlayStyle, he's just as sharp in the 90th minute during a counter-attack as he is in the first. He's the silent guardian, the watchful protector of your clean sheet.
2️⃣ Marcos Llorente: The Ultimate Utility Man
Marcos Llorente was already one of LaLiga's best. Now, he's arguably one of the best central midfielders in Ultimate Team, period. His 86-rated evolved card is the definition of "well-rounded." Just look at these stats:
| Attribute | Rating |
|---|---|
| Pace | 89 |
| Physicality | 86 |
| Dribbling | 82 |
| Shooting | 79 |
| Defending | 79 |
With 3★ Skill Moves and a 4★ Weak Foot, there's almost nothing he can't do. The beauty is in his flexibility: CM, RM, RW, even RB—plug him in anywhere, and he'll deliver a solid performance. In a meta that values versatile, box-to-box engines, Llorente's evolution is the gold standard.
1️⃣ Micky Van De Ven: The Premier League Colossus
And here he is, the crown jewel of the Track Thunder Evolution: Micky van de Ven. Taking the top spot was a no-brainer. In 2026, the Dutchman isn't just one of the hottest properties in the Premier League; he's a virtual brick wall. His stats are, frankly, overpowered. We're talking 93 Jumping, 89 Pace, and a suite of defensive stats all hovering around the mid-80s. His PlayStyles—Rapid, Block, Slide Tackle, Relentless—paint the picture of a defender who is fast, fearless, and never gets tired. Trying to dribble past him is an exercise in futility. He embodies everything this evolution promises: raw speed transformed into defensive dominance. Getting his card isn't just an upgrade; it's a statement.
So, there you have it. Seven players, transformed from promising talents into the backbone of any championship-caliber Ultimate Team. The Track Thunder Evolution in FC 25 isn't just a feature; it's a storytelling device, a way to craft your own narratives and build legends from the ground up. The best part? The journey to unlock them is free. All it costs is your time and skill. In the end, that's what makes these evolved cards so special—they're not bought, they're earned. And in 2026, that feeling of earning your stars... well, that's what the beautiful game is all about, isn't it? 🏆
