EA Sports has introduced another evolution path in FC 25 Ultimate Team, and this one is turning heads for all the right reasons. The FC 25 Ready and Able Evolution is now live, offering players a chance to significantly upgrade their central midfielders through a paid evolution track. While it requires a decent investment, roughly 150,000 FIFA 25 Coins or 600 FC Points, the boosts available make it one of the most valuable EVOs released during the Shapeshifters Team 3 event.

 

For FC 25 Players looking to strengthen their midfield with well-rounded, agile, and creative options, this evolution is well worth a closer look. From powerful stat upgrades to elite PlayStyles and position flexibility, the Ready and Able Evolution gives your central midfielders the tools to dominate matches.

 

What is the FC 25 Ready and Able Evolution

 

The Ready and Able Evolution is a paid upgrade path designed for central midfielders. It provides one of the most comprehensive stat boosts and trait enhancements in Ultimate Team so far. Following a similar structure to other EVOs like the Sideline Superstar, this path unfolds over five levels, with each step offering stat enhancements, new PlayStyles, and tactical roles under the FC IQ system.

 

Unlike free EVOs, this one costs 150,000 FIFA 25 Coins, so the decision to engage should be based on both the player's current stats and their long-term potential after upgrades.

 

Player Eligibility Requirements

 

Not every midfielder can be evolved through this path. EA Sports has outlined a specific set of requirements for a player to qualify for the Ready and Able Evolution:

 

    Overall Rating: Max 93

    Primary Position: CM (Central Midfielder)

    Dribbling: Max 98

    Defending: Max 80

    Alternate Positions: Max three

    PlayStyles: Maximum 10

    PlayStyles+: Maximum 3

 

If your player meets these conditions, they're eligible for one of the most well-rounded evolutions in the game.
