Best Players for EA FC 25 Tea and Biscuits Evolution

The five standout picks for Tea and Biscuits Evolution in EA FC 25 are:

  • Eduardo Camavinga (NumeroFUT)
  • Patrick Vieira (Thunderstruck Icon)
  • Pascal Groß (Grassroot Greats)
  • Rodrigo Bentancur (UEL Dreamchasers)
  • Fred (Winter Wildcards)

Given that you're likely to play the cards in a CDM position, you'd need at least one good defensive playstyle. For that position, we feel Intercept+ makes a huge difference, as you're mostly cutting down passing lanes with CDMs.

The first two PlayStyles+ Tea and Biscuits evolution provides are useful for the position, particularly if you also use them as a creative outlet in the DLP role. But without any defensive ability, they'll run a touch short of being a beast. That's why we recommend doing it on cards that have Intercept+ or any other useful defensive playstyle.

Another thing is that the Evolution raises overall to 93, so there is good quick chain potential. Eduardo Camavinga is a frontrunner for that very reason. Camavinga's NumeroFUT can be further tossed to The First Shapeshifter Evolution. The Frenchman then ends with the face stats of 95, 95, 94, 92, 92, and 90!

The only problem for Camavinga in this path is that you'll have to sideline him for nearly two weeks because The First Shapeshifter is a Training Camp Evolution.

Generally, players who have a tall and commanding presence do well in the CDM position. Your CBs are probably of similar build, so with bigger players, you'll make a proper wall that is hard to pass through. Patrick Vieira is just who you need to look at if you're after that. The French legend is pretty physical in the midfield.

Pascal Groß is another similar profile of player, although not as big of a goliath as Vieira. Still, at 5'11" and with Intercept+, the German will constantly cut passes and will never miss on distributing it with 99 passing and Tiki Taka+.

There aren't many amazing picks for the Evolution, and the names we listed are always your usual suspects for any CDM upgrades. You can also do the Evolution on anybody else who matches our top picks.

Is Tea and Biscuits Evolution Worth Doing In EA FC 25?

Yes, Tea and Biscuits is worth doing in EA FC 25, mostly because it is free and you don't lose out on anything.

As we said earlier, it only raises the overall to 93, making the cards eligible for future upgrades pretty soon. Of course, if you're doing this Evolution with future chain in mind, feel free to toss any players you like. Good Evolutions these days cost a lot of coins, and it's best to make the free ones count with high-potential cards.

It is not an unmissable evolution, however. That means it is totally reasonable to hold off hard-to-acquire rarer cards in anticipation of better Evolutions. Regardless of how you plan to go about it, try to wait until a few days are left, just in case better ones pop right after.
