One of the greatest to ever grace a football pitch, Diego Armando Maradona will be coming back to Ultimate Team in EA FC 25. With a Base Icon version as well as the new Grassroot Greats Icon version, there is a lot to get excited about.
Let's take a look at how to get a FREE Diego Maradona Evolution in FC 25 Ultimate Team.
How to get a Free Diego Maradona in FUT 25?
You should be getting a low-rated version of Diego Maradona for free in FUT 25 by logging onto the console after 6PM UK time on February 14th.
How to Evolve Diego Maradona in FC 25?
There will be two types of evolutions you should be able to put your Free Diego Maradona into: Free Evolutions and Paid Evolutions.
The Evolutions will be released in game starting from Friday, February 14th at 6PM UK time but we will know more about the specifics of these evos after that.
Will Diego Maradona be in packs in Ultimate Team?
On top of the free version that we can evolve, he will be getting a 96-Rated Grassroot Greats Icon version in game as well.
His Base Icon version will be added to the game as well to be in packs once the promo is over.
With the Technical and Finesse Shot PlayStyles+ as well as his elite stats across the board, he will be an insane player in game.
What upgrades will the Free Evolution give to Diego Maradona?
There will be three distinct paths to choose from for the free evolution for Diego Maradona.
The Free Evolutions will allow you to choose the following paths:
- ST Alternate Position | ST Roles++ | Power Shot PlayStyles+
- CAM Roles++ | Incisive Pass PlayStyles+
- RW Alternate Position | RW Roles++ | Technical PlayStyles+
The stats and base PlayStyles will be configured to make him better in the chosen position.
The Free Evolution will make your Diego Maradona 89-Rated.
What upgrades will the Paid Evolution give to Diego Maradona?
The Paid evolution will allow you to give him the following upgrade:
- +3 Overall Rating
- Finesse Shot PlayStyles+
After the Paid Evolution your Diego Maradona will be 92-Rated with 2 PlayStyles+ as well as an incredible upgrade to his stats making him very dangerous in game.
Which Evolution Path should you choose for the Diego Maradona Evo?
While he will perform incredibly well with all 3 evolution paths, choosing the RW Path in the Free Evolution will be the best path for him
It should give him the highest possible pace and dribbling with an elite combination of PlayStyles+ that exemplify everything he was in his prime.
Of course, this decision might change based on the official upgrades when the evos are released but for now, with the information we have this is the best path to choose for the Diego Maradona evo.
Are the Paid Evolutions for Diego Maradona worth it?
YES - The paid evolution will be worth it for Diego Maradona.
We can't say for sure what the price for that evo will be, there is a chance it might be too much but getting the Finesse Shot PlayStyles+ with a good upgrade to stats for a player that is already as good as Maradona, it would have to be the most expensive evolution of the year to be overpriced.
This is all the information we have so far on the upcoming Diego Maradona release. We will be covering all the information about this when it releases so make sure to keep an eye out on our News and Evolutions pages.
