The EA FC 25 Left Foot Forward Evolution has been added to Ultimate Team and allows you to adapt your wingers to the demands of the new era of football, which is also felt in the virtual pitch.

Modern football demands wingers to play more inverted instead of racing down the flank and whipping it to your target men, that's for attacking wingbacks these days, and that's no different in EA FC 25. It is also perhaps the best way to use wingers in the game.

Crossing and heading not being very good in the game is a factor too, but Inside Forward++ has been the way to go on formation with wingers, even wide midfielders like LM. The Left Foot Forward Evolution gives you the pace, PlayStyles+, and shooting you need to do just that.

All that said, here are several standout players for the Left Foot Forward Evolution in EA FC 25.

Best Players for EA FC 25 Left Foot Forward Evolution

One of the most notable things about the Left Foot Forward Evolution is the Max 91 OVR requirement, which is an improvement over the Max 90 we've often seen. By now, you've been spoiled with choices for the low-rated ones, so this one is best capitalized for high-rated ones.

Considering the cap, stat boosts aren't particularly massive, but the range of PlayStyles and PlayStyles+ it provides means cards that get the best out of it are the frontrunners.

Michael Olise is one of the better cards to do the Left Foot Forward Evolution on. He gets a tidy boost across the board and all the PlayStyles you'd need to play him either on RW or as CAM Shadow Striker. The Bayern star does look better as a Shadow Striker, but he'll be fairly rapid and agile to be slotted on the flanks.

Jairzinho feels amazing to play with, but being a right-footed RW card might come off as a bit of a bummer for some. It'll be hard to position him for a Finesse Shot. On the plus side, Jairzinho has the base Trivela and can be played as a striker, alone or in a pair, too. Sure, he doesn't have ++ roles, but he'll still glide past to net you goals.

If Jairzinho doesn't tempt you and you've completed the rather expensive George Best's Future Star SBC when it was live, the Northern Irish winger will be another amazing option. Both are just about equal in terms of stats, PlayStyles, and all that stuff, but with George, you get a much more versatile card.

Any of your favourite cards that get a significant improvement are always worth considering.

Is the Left Foot Forward Evolution worth doing in EA FC 25?

With several amazing PlayStyles+ and tidy boosts to stats, the Left Foot Forward is a good Evolution to do on your 91 OVR cards. It is, however, not an absolute must-do banger of an Evolution.

Wingers are a highly contested position in EA FC 25. We have plenty of good cards to choose from, and more will pop with the Team of the Season promo.

The Left Foot Forward Evolution is also 125,000 Coins, which isn't a lot, but something to keep in mind if you're starting from the bottom to save up for other things like the Premium Pass.

As always, it is better to wait until you can see through all the best options, and if you get better cards. Some of our picks, like Salah, do have a Team of the Season. Of course, it'd be a waste if you get that or a better card in the said position over the Left Foot Forward Evolution.
