Unlock powerful upgrades for your striker with the Lion Mentality Evolution in EAFC 25. Boost stats and dominate the pitch.
If you’ve got a striker sitting just below the power curve in Ultimate Team, the Lion Mentality Evolution might be the boost you’ve been waiting for. Introduced in EAFC 25 during the Ligue 1 TOTS event, this mid-tier paid EVO costs 25,000 coins or 150 FC Points and comes packed with major upgrades.
It sharpens your ST’s physicality, pace, shooting, and technical PlayStyles across four levels, eventually unlocking a full TOTS Evolution tier. The catch? Strict entry requirements mean not every card qualifies. But if you find the right player, the rewards are more than worth it.
The Lion Mentality Evolution in EAFC 25
This Evolution in EAFC 25 is built for strikers and offers serious upgrades across four tiers. For 25,000 coins or 150 FC Points, it delivers a full transformation that brings select STs up to a TOTS-level performance. However, the entry requirements are strict, and the process is tied to in-game objectives.
