EA has pulled out all the stops to celebrate the 15th birthday of the popular Ultimate Team game mode with the Ultimate Birthday event. The FC 24 Birthday Magic Evolutions Guide is here to provide players with all the information they need.

This week, the online mode has received significant updates, including new celebrations and game faces. Additionally, EA has introduced a variety of new content to Ultimate Team, including some incredible players in packs and through SBCs.

One of the new features in FC 24 Ultimate Team is Evolutions, a new addition to the game this year. EA has introduced two new EVOs to Ultimate Team, and in this guide, we will walk you through the complete Birthday Magic Evolutions experience.

Birthday Magic Evolutions Guide

EA has recently released a fresh Evolution update for FC 24, allowing players to enhance their cards without any cost. The introduction of Evolutions has been a massive success among FC 24 players since its initial launch, resulting in each Ultimate Team having its own distinct style due to the diverse players being evolved.

In this article, we will guide you through the player requirements for the Birthday Magic Evolution, recommend three players that we believe are the best to evolve, and provide you with a list of challenges to complete along with the corresponding rewards.

So, without any further delay, let's delve into the player requirements for the Birthday Magic Evolution.

Player Requirements

Like all of the Evolutions in FC 24, you will need to evolve a player that meets the specific requirements set by EA, so not everyone in the game will fit into this category.

Whether you decide to pick a player from your favourite club or develop someone into an overpowered beast, you will need to ensure you pick your player wisely because once you do, you cannot change them.

Here are the requirements you need for the Birthday Magic Evolution:

Overall: Max. 85
Pace: Max. 90
Shooting: Min. 70
Dribbling: Max. 90
Physical: Max. 87
Playstyles: Max. 8
Playstyles+: Max. 1

Best players for the Birthday Magic Evolution

Here we will give you three options on who you can use in the Birthday Magic Evolution, that will completely transform your team!

The player has to meet the requirements above, so unfortunately you will not be able to evolve the likes of Harry Kane, or Lautaro Martinez, for example. Let's see the three players we have chosen for this Evolution:

Marcus Rashford (Manchester United – 85 OVR)

Our first suggestion for the Birthday Magic Evolution is Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford who looks fantastic for this EVO. The Englishman upgrades to a 90 OVR once evolved, and has 93 pace, 88 shooting, 80 passing, and 88 dribbling, on his new card. One positive for Rashford is his Power Shot+, which means he has two PS+ once he evolves.

Ademola Lookman (Atalanta – 85 OVR)

Our second suggestion for the Birthday Magic Evolution is TOTW Ademola Lookman who looks like a great player who can play at the striker position or on the right-hand side. Lookman increases to a 90 OVR once evolved, with 93 pace, 87 shooting, and 93 dribbling as his standout stats. The Atalanta striker would work well in an attacking lineup next to Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace – 85 OVR)

Our final pick for the Birthday Magic Evolution is Crystal Palace winger Jordan Ayew and his Team of the Week item. The Ghanaian winger looks insane in this Evolution, increasing to a 90 OVR with unreal stats. Ayew increases to 91 pace, 86 shooting, 84 passing, 93 dribbling, and 87 physical, and can play on either wing and also has the added Flair PS+.
