Capable of infusing a player with a handy boost in overall attributes and the meta Anticipate PlayStyle+, Added Time in Lisbon can turn any EA FC 25 FUT defender into a two-way monster.
But as the evo is far from broken, its best picks must be able to work around its first PlayStyle+. Here are the best players for the Added Time in Lisbon evolution in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team.

The Best Players For The Added Time In Lisbon Evolution In EA FC 25 FUT
Given his ability to get the Bruiser+ and Anticipate+ combo without the need of other evos, Thunderstruck Icon Lilian Thuram is my main pick for Added Time in Lisbon. As a bonus, the evo sees him get a build identical to his 1M+ Dreamchasers Icon version for less than 1/10 of its value. If paired with the Bruiser+ evo, Fut Immortals Maldini is my second pick.
As alternatives, Future Stars Icon Rio Ferdinand and Base Icon Maldini are also considered perfect fits, with the latter being the only version of the Milan legend to get Anticipate+ without the need for further evos. For those on a budget, you can’t go wrong with Rare Gold Virgil van Dijk. To recap, here are the best players for the Added Time in Lisbon evolution in EA FC 25, as well as a few other alternatives:
- Thunderstruck Icon Lilian Thuram
- Fut Immortals Icon Maldini
- Base Icon Maldini
- Future Stars Icon Rio Ferdinand
- Grassroot Greats Moïse Bombito
- Prime Hero Jamie Carragher
- TOTW Virgil van Dijk
