EA FC 25 Creative Catalyst Evolution guide: Best players to use, all upgrades, requirements, and more

EA Sports has released the latest EVO of the Team of the Year promo, with the EA FC 25 Creative Catalyst Evolution allowing gamers to upgrade their central attacking midfielders on the virtual pitch. This is a free EVO and does not require any coins or FC Points to be unlocked, making it even more appealing due to the nature of upgrades on offer.

The Team of the Year promo has been a massive success so far, with an entire roster of TOTY players and TOTY Icons up for grabs. There have also been several SBCs and objective players, as well as some massive EVOs. However, the best EVOs so far have required coins or FC Points. This makes the latest EA FC 25 Creative Catalyst Evolution even more tempting, as it is free to complete.
