The latest FC 25 EVO glitch has turned the Ultimate Team market upside down. This new method allows players to upgrade icons like Thierry Henry &  Ruud Gullit into 95-rated monsters using a loophole involving cosmetic EVOs and TOTs upgrades. Here’s exactly how players are doing it—and why strikers are crashing in price across the market.

How the FC 25 EVO Glitch Works 

The core of the glitch relies on combining the Unlock the Dribble EVO with TOTs+ cosmetic EVOs and the Serie A Cup TOTs upgrade. Players are starting with Thierry Henry’s Immortals SBC card and funneling it through the 99 Dribbling EVO. From there, applying Finesse Plus through the season pass boosts him to 94 with four playstyle pluses.

Then comes the trick: use either the TOTs Plus or TOTs Plus Recolor EVOs to alter the card type. These cosmetic evolutions are key—they turn the card into a TOTs version, making it eligible for the 95-rated Serie A Cup evolution that boosts five-star skills and weak foot.

This isn’t limited to Thierry Henry. Players have used the same method on  Ruud Gullit, Theo Hernandez, and even Neymar. Any 93 or 94-rated EVO card can gain one or two more ratings, creating meta-defining items that would be extinct on the market.

Market Crash: Strikers Losing Value Fast

The glitch has crushed the value of many top-rated strikers. Victor Osimhen dropped from 1.5 million to 900K. Sophia Wilson fell by 40%. Even Henry’s base Immortals card dipped from 7 million to 5 million as players pivot to evolving the SBC version.

Mbappé also spiked in demand because of this glitch—rising from 230K to the brink of extinction. On the flip side, Harry Kane’s TOTs card crashed from 2.8 million to around 2 million in less than 24 hours. It’s not just an attacker issue. High-end Team of the Season midfielders like Scott McTominay and Michael Olise are also down hundreds of thousands.

The glitch created a major replacement trend: tradable attackers are being benched in favor of untradable, glitched EVO cards.

The Clock is Ticking on Cosmetic EVOs

TOTs Plus and TOTs Recolor EVOs expire in three days, likely before La Liga TOTs goes live. Whether EA refreshes them remains to be seen. Many believe this glitch was unintentional, and EA may patch it by removing access to these specific cosmetic EVOs going forward.

If you’ve run out of usable EVOs, there are still options. TOTs honorable mentions like Dumfries can be recolored and upgraded via the Serie A Cup EVO. Players are also building wild cards with objective SBCs using the same glitch method.

EVO Chains and What’s Next

Creative players are stacking EVOs in chains. For example, Chelsea fans are pushing Benoît Badiashile’s card through Dreamcrusher and a playstyle plus upgrade, then into a TOTs Recolor EVO to access the Rush TOTs EVO. The result? A 95-rated monster CB that shouldn’t exist.

Another trend is using live cards in evolution chains. If Manchester United wins against Spurs, the Kobbie Mainoo card may get a live +4. That would bypass many EVO stat caps, especially when placed into “Built Different,” allowing boosts across pace, dribbling, and physical stats.

More 92-rated EVOs are coming. Expect right wings or right mids to be next based on recent EVO patterns. Meanwhile, the Street Memories EVO expires today—players looking to chain upgrades should act fast.
