EA Sports has been on a roll with FC 25 Ultimate Team, dropping multiple Evolutions that keep the game fresh and exciting for fans. The latest addition, the FC 25 Picasso Mode Evolution, is one of the most creative and impactful yet. It offers a rare chance to supercharge your squad and dominate online matches, making it a must-try for serious FC 25 players.

What sets Picasso Mode Evolution apart from earlier releases is its massive upgrade potential, for the first time this year, an Evolution offers up to five PlayStyle+ boosts. That's enough to transform even a strong card into a top-tier powerhouse capable of taking on the best squads.

This mode arrives during the fifth and final week of the FUTTIES Promo, and it's the perfect opportunity to add one last, powerful weapon to your team before the promo wraps up. Let's break down exactly what you need to get started, what rewards to expect, and which players benefit most from this game-changing Evolution.

Requirements for FC 25 Picasso Mode Evolution

The developers have set very specific entry rules to make sure that only certain cards are eligible. This prevents overpowered combinations and keeps the mode balanced. To start the Picasso Mode Evolution, your chosen player must meet these criteria:

    Overall Rating: MAX 96

    PlayStyles: MAX 10

    PlayStyles+: MAX 4

These limits mean you can't just throw your highest-rated superstar into the mode, you'll need to think strategically and pick someone with solid potential for upgrades.

Best Players to Use in FC 25 Picasso Mode Evolution

While many cards fit the eligibility requirements, a few stand out as perfect candidates for the boost. Here are some top recommendations, along with their ratings before and after the upgrade:

    Blaise Matuidi (Fantasy FC Hero): CDM: 95 → 98

    Pedro Neto (Star Performer): LW: 96 → 98

    Homare Sawa (Shapeshifter Icon): LM: 96 → 98

    Skelly Alvero (FUTTIES): CDM: 95 → 98

    Eden Hazard (Shapeshifter Hero): ST: 96 → 98

    Ruben Neves (Star Performer): CDM: 96 → 98

    Timo Werner (Flashback): RW: 96 → 98

Cards like Hazard and Werner become lethal finishers, while midfielders such as Matuidi and Neves turn into midfield generals capable of controlling every aspect of the game.
