There are a variety of sports video simulation games on the market, and in the football category, FC 25 is the best in every way. The reason it is so popular is not only the exquisite and realistic game graphics but also because of its rich game content and many player cards.

FIFA 25’s player cards are actually a representation of players you can recruit to your team, and you can upgrade these players through various new evolution mechanisms to make them more powerful.

Recently, a Heroic Rise Evolution mechanism was introduced in the game. It targets basic hero cards and can provide them with enhanced attributes and new play styles, making the corresponding player’s card become an iconic card in EA Sports FC 25’s Ultimate Team.

Although Heroic Rise Evolution requires you to consume 100k FUT 25 Coins or 1k FC points to proceed, it can upgrade your players’ speed, passing and defensive abilities, thus improving your gaming experience when facing powerful enemies.

It is worth noting that after obtaining this evolution, you will select players that meet the requirements for this and pass five unique challenges. The requirements are overall up to 86, up to 7 play styles, and you must have a hero card. Based on this, we recommend you 7 FC 25 players suitable for Heroic Rise Evolution according to their abilities.

As the recent Manchester United icon, this Korean player currently has an Evo rating of 86 and plays as an LM in the team. If you develop his hero card, he will do a lot of wonders for you on the left wing.
