EA FC 25 FUT Birthday Striker Glow-Up Evolution: Best players to use, all upgrades, requirements, and more

EA Sports has released the EA FC 25 FUT Birthday Striker Glow-Up Evolution in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to use a silver striker of their choice with a massive boost on the virtual pitch. Not only will they receive an upgrade to their overall rating and stats, but they will also get five-star skill moves, a five-star weak foot, and two amazing PlayStyle+ traits.

This is a paid EVO, and will cost gamers 35,000 coins or 200 FC Points to be unlocked. The FUT Birthday event has already had several such EVOs, including the recently released Perfect Attacking Midfielder EVO. However, the EA FC 25 FUT Birthday Striker Glow-Up Evolution offers the biggest boost by far.
