Methodical Midfielder 3 Evolution in EAFC 25
The Methodical Midfielder 3 Evolution is the final stage of the Future Stars Academy upgrade chain in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team. This Evolution allows players to push their Wonderkid midfielder to a 91-rated superstar, making them one of the best free upgrades in the game.
This Evolution is completely free to complete and comes with two upgrade levels, unlike its predecessor. It also adds two PlayStyle+ traits and Icon chemistry, making your player an elite-tier option in midfield.

Not every player can be upgraded using this Evolution. To be eligible, your player must meet these specific requirements:
- Overall Rating: Exactly 88
- Rarity: Future Stars Evolution
- PlayStyles: At least 8
- PlayStyle+: At least 2
Since the required base rating is 88, you must have already completed the previous Methodical Midfielder Evolutions, along with other required upgrades for skill moves, weak foot, and PlayStyles.
Best Players
This Evolution can be applied to any of the 15 Wonderkids from the Player Pick released at the start of Future Stars. However, these midfielders benefit the most from the upgrade path:
- Rocco Reitz (80 OVR) – A complete box-to-box midfielder with solid defensive and passing stats.
- Niccolo Pisilli (80 OVR) – A technical playmaker with strong dribbling and vision.
- Arthur Vermeeren (80 OVR) – A well-balanced midfielder with great positioning and tackling.
- Marcos Leonardo (80 OVR) – Originally a striker but can excel as an attacking midfielder with this Evolution.
All of these players will reach 91 overall with incredible passing, vision, and defensive capabilities, making them perfect for a possession-based or counter-attacking playstyle.
