EA surprised players with an unannounced twist to the latest Team of the Season FC 25 EVO. What was expected to be a mid-tier update has suddenly become one of the strongest evolutions seen in FC 25 so far.

Sneak Attack EVO Changes the Game

Originally leaked as a 91-rated max evolution for center midfielders, the Sneak Attack EVO was quietly updated before release. EA modified its stat caps, allowing more popular cards to qualify — including legends like Pirlo and Putellas. The community quickly noticed the wider compatibility, triggering a surge in excitement and club experimentation.

The evolution offers up to 90 pace, 94 passing, and three powerful playstyle pluses: Incisive Pass+, Tiki Taka+, and Trivela+. EA’s last-minute change to the requirements clearly aimed to make this evolution more appealing. It succeeded.

Vieira, POTM, and Market Movements

The Patrick Vieira Thunderstruck card has become the go-to candidate for this EVO. Users are linking him through the Regista chain to Sneak Attack, transforming his stats to rival his Foot Birthday Icon version. That version sells for over 3.5 million coins, while this route offers a nearly identical result for far less.

the Player of the Month SBC card is another standout. Originally cost-effective, it now rivals high-tier TOTS items thanks to the passing and physical upgrades Sneak Attack provides. Philip Billing, Jude Bellingham, and Baby Matas also gain major boosts.

Cards that fit the evolution are rising fast, while those that don’t — like the 99 Passing De Jong — are dropping in value. Trading opportunities have opened up, especially with EVO-compatible midfielders and center-backs from previous weekends.

Regista Ends, CDM EVO Leaked (FC 25 EVO) 

The Regista evolution — known for providing the Incisive Pass+ without raising overall rating — expires today. If players want to chain evolutions for optimal stat growth, especially with Vieira, this is the last chance.

Meanwhile, another evolution is rumored to be coming soon. Futpolice  & Fut Agent both leaked details about a CDM EVO offering Bruiser+, Block+, and Deep-Lying Playmaker+. It’s built for physical defensive midfielders and could raise overalls past 91, potentially breaking Sneak Attack eligibility. For users prioritizing defense over shooting and passing, it may be worth holding out.

TOTS Trading and SBC Investment

Tuesday trading stayed busy. Savvy players flipped cards like Osimhen and Kimmich for decent profits, while budget flips included cards like Billing and Kondé. With demand centered around cards fitting the EVO meta, short-term gains look viable for specific TOTS and fantasy items.

EA has not added a new trade-in pack to the code as of this morning. However, last week’s pack appeared just an hour before content drop. Users should monitor for sudden additions. If a trade-in or guaranteed TOTS pack does appear, TOTS fodder cards could spike from 19K to 21K or higher. Informs remain at 18K but are expected to dip by Wednesday, then rise again during weekend SBC demand.

One thing to monitor closely: the 83×14 SBC expires today. If replaced with a stronger version — like an 84×10 — that could shift demand for both Informs and TOTS items. Depending on SBC structure, market trends could reverse quickly.

EVOs in Spotlight — Again

From Friday through Tuesday, EA has pushed out new evolutions daily — an unprecedented stretch. Whether this momentum continues depends on today’s content, but even if Sneak Attack is the last for now, it’s one of the best. The flexibility, stat boosts, and playstyle synergy it enables make it a clear win for players.

Market volatility, smart card chaining, and the looming arrival of another defensive-focused EVO have combined to make this week’s evolution cycle one of the most impactful in FC 25 to date.
