FC 25 Best Players For 'King of Egypt' Evolution

The 'King of Egypt' Evolution in EAFC 25 is inspired by Mohamed Salah.
You can opt for countless right-wingers, including La Liga stars Endrick and Lamine Yamal.
Premier League players Jarrod Bowen and Antony should also be considered.

The 'King of Egypt' Evolution in EA Sports FC 25 is inspired by one of the favourites to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah. "Mo Salah! Mo Salah! Mo Salah! Running down the wing. Mo Salah, the Egyptian King," Anfield chants, and now you have the opportunity to create your 'own Salah' with this Evolution based on him.

To be able to do it, you have to follow some specific requirements, which we have showcased here: A maximum rating of 88, a maximum of 90 Pace and 90 Dribbling, three total positions at most and no more than 10 PlayStyles (two of which can be PlayStyle+. They must be a right-winger as well.

This means there are, unsurprisingly, countless players to choose from, and they will all become world-class due to the upgrades they receive, which we have outlined here: An overall increase of 30 (up to 90), 30+ Pace (up to 92), 35+ Shooting (up to 90), 35+ Passing (up to 86), 30+ Dribbling (up to 90), 30+ Defending (up to 70), 35+ Physical (up to 80). They also get a four-star weak foot if they don't already have one, the ability to play as a right-midfielder, and two PlayStyle+ — Finesse Shot and Press Proven.

With an endless amount of possibilities available, we have made your life slightly simpler by outlining the nine best currently available in EAFC 25. This Evolution can be completed via several easy challenges, continuing the theme showcased in other Evolutions such as 'A Star is Born' and 'Central to Sensational'.

Ranking Factors
League and club - Players with better links are always more popular.
PlayStyles - Those with PlayStyles will work well.
Potential for further Evolutions - Some players can be upgraded further.

1. Lamine Yamal
Barcelona and Spain

However, Bowen is pipped to top spot by one of the world's best players — Lamine Yamal. It's hard to believe that the Spaniard is still just 17 years old, especially considering he also excelled at Euro 2024, but the winger continues to dominate players far older than him.

He was named La Liga Player of the Month at the start of the season, and that was celebrated in October in EAFC 25. The SBC could be completed for 300k — and, if you did it and kept him, you can now get a world-class card which has 95 Agility, 87 Reactions, 91 Finishing and 92 Shot Power. The Spaniard dominates online and in real life.

2. Jarrod Bowen
West Ham and England

Every year, there seems to be a debate about who is the best non-big-six player in the Premier League. Sandro Tonali and Ollie Watkins are usually mentioned, but there is almost always an argument for West Ham's main man — Jarrod Bowen. You can make him world-class in EAFC 25.

This Evolution gives him five-star skills and a four-star weak foot, yet that's only the beginning. The former Hull City star will also have 93 Finishing, 91 Attacking Positioning, 91 Ball Control, 90 Dribbling and 89 Composure. When you need a moment of magic in the final third, Bowen will step up confidently.

3. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Paris Saint-Germain and Georgia

Paris Saint-Germain have always been known for having at least one superstar. At one point, they had Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, arguably three of the greatest players of all time, in the same attacking third, but since the trio departed, PSG have needed to fill a void.

This is where Khvicha Kvaratskhelia stepped in, with the Georgian superstar, alongside Ousmane Dembele, seen as the face of football in Paris now. He has an incredible Fantasy FC card, yet you can nearly replicate that with this Evolution. He naturally has five-star skill moves and a five-star weak foot, whilst – partnered with 91 Finishing, 91 Ball Control and 92 Dribbling – he's built for every situation.

4. David Beckham
English Icon

From one English legend to another. David Beckham might not have scored a winning goal in a major final for his country, but he had his fair share of incredible moments. Just think about his free-kick against Greece to qualify for the 2002 World Cup. He's never been 'meta' in EAFC 25, but that changes due to this Evolution.

Beckham was well-known during his playing days for his creative talent. That's showcased here by stats such as 90 Short Pass and 93 Long Pass. That's complemented by 95 Reactions and 93 Ball Control, with the winger only having one small issue — just three-star skill moves. It can be overlooked when he's so impressive elsewhere, though.

5. Chloe Kelly
Arsenal and England

There's a theme of players moving in January on this list, and Chloe Kelly adds to that. The Englishwoman, who scored the winning goal in the Euro 2022 final against Germany, joined Arsenal on loan from Women's Super League rivals Manchester City as she wanted more minutes.

You could use either version for this Evolution, but Arsenal are a stronger team on paper in EAFC 25, we have opted for her newer version. The right-winger will end up with some stunning stats, including 87 Finishing, 91 Ball Control, 90 Dribbling and 96 Composure. She's world-class and built for every issue possible.

6. Endrick
Real Madrid and Brazil

Moving on, Endrick has not had the dream start to life in the Spanish capital, but the Brazilian wonderkid is still seen as the face of football in the country. He is, quite literally, a 'Future Star' and you can get a card close to his 'Future Star' stats via this superb Evolution.

The youngster will have four-star skill moves and a four-star weak foot if you choose him for this Evolution, whilst that will be complemented by stats such as 90 Attacking Positioning, 91 Finishing, 94 Shot Power and – remarkably – 99 Agility. There's not a single situation Endrick isn't comfortable in.

7. Marco Asensio
Paris Saint-Germain and Spain

Marco Asensio also moved in January, departing the beauty of Paris for Aston Villa. He's had an immediate impact in life in the Midlands, scoring twice against Chelsea to help them beat Enzo Maresca's side, but – in this instance – we're talking about his PSG version instead.

He had a NumeroFUT card available from Boxing Day until the end of January — and, if you were able to pick him up, you can now get an even greater card. With five-star skills, a four-star weak foot, 93 Ball Control, 90 Dribbling and countless more impressive stars, the Spaniard can truly thrive in any situation.

8. Steve McManaman
Premier League and England

While most players on this list will focus on their attacking qualities, Steve McManaman goes against the grain. Maicon's Fantasy FC card can be acquired by winning 30 out of a possible 36 matches — and that means some gamers, naturally, won't be able to get the Brazilian. McManaman might be the perfect alternative.

His Winter Wildcard version is brilliantly defensively, and you can make him more well-rounded with this Evolution. With stats such as 89 Defensive Awareness, 90 Stand Tackle and 86 Slide Tackle, combined with his threat in the final third, the Englishman really can't be ignored.

9. Antony
Manchester United and Brazil

Antony left Manchester United on loan for Real Betis in January 2025, temporarily bringing an end to a disappointing and underwhelming spell at Old Trafford. However, in EAFC 25, players are still able to play under Man Utd's badge even after they have moved.

This means that you can upgrade Antony's Man Utd card with this Evolution. If you do so, you improve his weak foot from one-star to four, whilst he will also have world-class stats such as 94 Attacking Positioning, 87 Finishing, 94 Shot Power and 93 Long Shots. He is a threat from any range now.
