Gullit Gets a Huge Boost with Spur Yourself On FC 25 EVO
The free “Spur Yourself On” evolution just changed the game again—by making one of the most completed SBCs of the year even better. While many opted to upgrade Sergej Milinković-Savić, it’s the 94-rated Dreamchaser Ruud Gullit that truly benefits here. Somehow missing from the Fan Favorite picks, Gullit has become a top-three most iconic and used SBC this cycle.
If you didn’t push him into the Mr. Clean Sheet evolution earlier, this new FC 25 EVO is perfect for a midfield transformation. It adds Technical+, a +3 pace boost, +1 dribbling, +3 physical, and a massive +6 defending—all while giving him five-star skills. That’s a monstrous upgrade for anyone still running Gullit or wanting to bring him back into the fold.
It’s also great for those building themed EVO squads. Cards like Yunus Musah (94) were waiting for a fresh push, and this EVO gives them that extra juice—plus four playstyle pluses. Free. We’ve asked for four-playstyle free evolutions for ages. Now they’re here, and they’re meta.
Free Cards, Season Pass Wins, and SBC Grinds (FC 25 EVO)
This Futties season is loaded with freebies, and it’s not slowing down. Between Anthony Martial and others from the free side of the pass, even non-paying players are stacking top-tier cards. Menu grinders can rejoice. The SBCs feel rewarding again thanks to the crafting cycle and player pick returns.
And yes, you can finally say it: Evolutions are fun again. Between yesterday’s EVO and what dropped on Friday, the player base is cooking up cracked builds like five playstyle+ Théo Hernandez cards. Scroll through Futbin’s popular page—it’s a madhouse of creativity, and it’s all driven by smart EVO and SBC design.
Market Reaction: Stable Prices, Watch the Upgrades
Looking at the market, Futties cards are surprisingly holding value. Paolo Maldini’s dipped, Lauren James is down slightly, but Jules Koundé and others are still hovering around 500K+. Alisson Becker dropped only a little. EA made these cards rare for a reason—97s, 98s, and 99s won’t flood the market instantly. Expect gradual dips, but prices have held up far better than expected.
Live cards are also spicing things up. Lotta Schelin’s 4–1 win with Sweden over Germany guarantees her upgrade to 98. Her price jumped fast, and Fridolina Rolfö also moved from 250K to over 300K+. The group stage continues with key fixtures today—Netherlands must beat France, and England must lose for the Dutch to go through. Got PTG cards like Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp, or Leah Williamson? Might be time to sell into the hype.
Store Packs vs. Menu Packs: Stick to the Grind
EA has been generous with pack rewards lately, and special cards are flying out left and right. But for those eyeing store packs—hold back. Unless you’re using them to fuel a grind toward big SBCs like Vítinha, Bruno Fernandes, or Maicon, the coin sink may not be worth it.
We’ve still got a long runway with the Futties promo. If you’re chasing 99s, focus on player picks and menu packs. That’s where the value is. Keep an eye on content drops like the Encore Icon Player Pick (which could rotate into Shape Shifters Team 4), but don’t dump coins for no reason. Save packs for when you actually need fodder.
What’s Next: SBC Drops and EVO Watch
Today’s Sunday drop might include one of the three marquee SBCs still pending—Vítinha, Bruno Fernandes, or Maicon. All are cracked, especially Vítinha with Tiki Taka, Pinged Pass, and Anticipate. Bruno’s ideal for CAM builds with Low Driven and Long Ball Playstyle+. Maicon looks ready to replace any right back you’re currently using.
There’s also a high chance of another EVO releasing—watch for leaks a few hours before content. It could be a paid EVO or another free one like Spur Yourself On. Some consumable EVOs from the last pass are expiring today too, so make sure you’re locking those in.
The pack grind, the upgrades, the chase—it’s all part of why the game feels fun right now. Don’t let the free card madness go to waste. This is what Ultimate Team should feel like.
