One of the best budget evos to date, EA FC 25 Ultimate Team’s new El Pibe evolution allows you to give a massive stat boost and some key PlayStyles to a CAM of your choice.
But just like the companion app-exclusive No CAM, no Party, not all cards in the game can use it to unlock their innate Valderrama. Here are the best players for the El Pibe evolution in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team.

Available until mid-June for either 50,000 coins or 200 FC Points, El Pibe can be applied to all 92-rated or lower CAMs with a maximum of 95 PAC, 98 DRI, and 89 PHY.

The Best Players For The El Pibe Evolution In EA FC 25 Ultimate Team
Thanks to his finesse Shot+ PlayStyle and already massive DRI, the striker variant of Winter Wildcards Neymar is the best pick for the El Pibe Evolution. He is then followed by FUT Birthday Curtis Jones for the same reason, and FUT Immortals Zico, who is arguably the game’s best passer. To recap and add a few more names to your list, here are the best players and alternatives for the El Pibe evolution in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team:
- Winter Wildcards ST Neymar (91)
- FUT Birthday Curtis Jones (89)
- FUT Immortals Zico (92)
- Diego’s Dream I and El Pibe de Oro Maradona (89 and 92)
- Base Icon Gullit (90)
- UEL RTTK Dybala (92)
- TOTY Honourable Mentions (92) and both Winter Wildcards Florian Wirtz variants (91)
- Ultimate Succession Messi (92)
- Thunderstruck Phil Foden (92)
- Base Icon Kaká (90)
- Flashback Marco Reus (91)
If you are working on a tight budget or just starting, Gold Rare Messi and Gold Rare Phil Foden can also be perfect fits for the evo via their high overall stats and, in Messi’s case, game feel. For those who can, the Finesse Shot+ evo can also turn some of the best picks above, like Maradona, into absolute monsters.
