Once considered low-priority fodder in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, the arrival of Shapeshifters saw the demand for 87-rated players skyrocket. After all, they are now needed for many high-value and end-game SBCs.

The Cheapest 87-Rated Players in EA FC 25

Are Any 87-Rated Players Worth Using In EA FC 25?
I don’t believe any 87-rated player can perform well enough to justify their use in EA FC 25, as the game’s current influx of 93+ picks will see them outclassed by the opposition in pretty much all modes.
If you are adamant, though, many can indeed be considered prime candidates for evolutions via the latter’s ability to mitigate their weaknesses and level the playing field (albeit for a cost). For example, Gold Rare Neymar (if you can find him) is a great pick via his 4WF/4SM combo and game feel. Base Hero Yaya Touré is also a highlight via his ability to always perform way above his set OVR.
