In the ever-evolving landscape of EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team, I believe the Bag Of Tricks Evolution stands out as a game-changer for those looking to build a squad of dynamic, unstoppable dribblers. This paid Evolution event, costing a cool 50k coins or 900 FC points, is an absolute must for serious players. It’s not just a simple upgrade; it's a total transformation, granting select player cards the coveted trickster and technical playstyles, as well as the lethal inside forward++ role. After purchasing, you'll need to select eligible players and complete seven challenges to unlock their full potential. The requirements are strict—max 84 overall, max 84 pace, max 86 dribbling, max 81 physical, and a maximum of seven playstyles—so you gotta choose wisely. Let me break down, from my own experience, the top players who become absolute beasts with this Evolution.
7. Isi Palazón: The Spanish Speedster
First up, we have the 29-year-old Spanish maestro, Isaac "Isi" Palazón Camacho. Let me tell you, his upgraded card is no joke. His blistering pace is what makes him a standout choice. Post-Evolution, you're looking at a versatile weapon with 90 pace and 89 dribbling. You can deploy him as a right midfielder (RM), left midfielder (LM), right-winger (RW), or even an attacking midfielder (CAM). That new inside forward++ role is a game-changer; he'll hug the touchline before cutting inside like a menace for any full-back. His stats are solid: 85 shooting, 80 passing, and 69 physicality. He's a budget-friendly option that can seriously upgrade your flank play.
6. Takefusa Kubo: The Japanese Magician
Next on my list is the Japanese sensation, Takefusa Kubo. Primarily a right-winger (RW), this guy is a dribbling wizard. His base card is already silky smooth, but the Evolution takes his technical ability to another level. The technical playstyle he gains allows him to hit top speed during controlled sprints, making his body feints absolutely lethal. He can glide past defenders like they're standing still. He's also versatile enough to play as a striker (ST) if needed. If you want a player who can create something out of nothing, Kubo is your man. His potential is off the charts.
5. Serge Gnabry: The Complete Wide Threat
Now, let's talk about a real powerhouse: Serge David Gnabry. Honestly, he's arguably one of the best wide midfielders you can get from this Evolution. His evolved stats are top-tier. With 89 pace, 89 dribbling, and 86 shooting, he's a constant threat. His physical presence on the right flank (71 physicality) is a huge bonus. What I love is his versatility; he can play as a deadly RM or even fill in as a striker thanks to his roles: inside forward++ and the tricky false 9. With four-star skill moves and a four-star weak foot, he's unpredictable and clinical. A must-have for any competitive squad.
4. Malcom: The Brazilian Trickster
For those who love flair, look no further than Malcom. The Brazilian midfielder, playing for Al Hilal, gets a massive boost. His primary position shifts to a central attacking midfielder (CAM), and oh boy, does he shine there. The new trickster playstyle is the real deal—it unlocks unique flick skill moves that can embarrass defenders. His ability to dribble past opponents is already impressive, and this Evolution makes it borderline unfair. If you run a formation with a CAM, Malcom becomes one of the most tempting and fun options in the entire Bag Of Tricks pool.
3. Sadio Mané: The Versatile Striker
Here's a big one: Sadio Mané. The Senegalese superstar, also at Al Hilal, gets a complete positional change to striker (ST) with this Evolution. But his versatility is insane—he can still play LM, LW, or RM. His attacking stats are downright scary: 90 pace, 89 dribbling, 86 shooting, and 80 physicality. He feels like a cheat code. With both trickster and technical playstyles, he can weave through defenses with ease. For me, he's a top-tier striker option in FC 25, offering a unique blend of raw speed, skill, and finishing that's hard to find elsewhere.
2. Andrea Colpani: The Well-Rounded Italian
This one is a bit of a hidden gem. The young Italian, Andrea Colpani, gets perhaps the most well-rounded evolved card. He's a CAM with incredible balance. His attacking stats are explosive, but his defensive contribution is what sets him apart. His physical presence makes him tough to dispossess. Just look at these numbers: 94 dribbling, 93 sprint speed, and 92 ball control. That's just ridiculous. He also boasts 90 stamina, meaning he can run all game. If you need a dynamic, box-to-box style attacking midfielder who can do it all, Colpani is an S-tier pick.
1. Lamine Yamal: The Crown Jewel
And finally, the number one spot, no contest: Lamine Yamal. The Spanish wonderkid gets the absolute best stats from this Evolution. At just 18 years old in the 2026 game cycle, his potential is already realized here. His 90 pace and 89 dribbling make him a nightmare on the right wing (RW), though he can also play LW or RM. But it's his playstyle suite that's insane: trickster, technical, finesse shot, flair, and quick step. He's the complete dribbling package. While his physicality (53) and defending (23) are his only weak points, you don't pick Yamal for that. You pick him to be your main man, your target for every attack, to do things that make your opponents quit. He's the ultimate prize of the Bag Of Tricks Evolution.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it—my breakdown of the top players for the Bag Of Tricks Evolution in EA Sports FC 25. Each player offers something unique, whether it's Yamal's sheer brilliance, Mané's versatile power, or Colpani's all-action style. Remember, this Evolution is an investment, but for turning good dribblers into unstoppable forces, it's totally worth it. Choose based on your team's needs, complete those challenges, and get ready to cook your opponents with some serious skill moves. Good luck out there!
