The Marathon Man Evolution has arrived in FC 25, offering FC 25 players an exciting opportunity to enhance their squads through a dynamic, stat-boosting progression path, specifically for central midfielders (CM). With a cost of 60,000 FIFA 25 Coins, this evolution is designed for those seeking to transform a good CM card into a high-performing, near-meta player.

In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the Marathon Man Evolution, including eligibility requirements, upgrade levels, and which FC 25 players are the best choices to maximize your FIFA 25 Coins investment.

What is the Marathon Man Evolution in FC 25

The Marathon Man Evolution is a five-level upgrade path that enhances specific attributes, roles, and PlayStyles of a CM card. This evolution allows FC 25 players to take an underused or mid-tier central midfielder and convert them into a box-to-box powerhouse.

It costs 60,000 FIFA 25 Coins, and by completing the required gameplay milestones, players will receive boosts to pace, passing, defending, physicality, PlayStyles, and even evolution rarity (upgrading to a TOTS-tier card).

Marathon Man Evolution Entry Requirements

To begin this evolution, your chosen player must meet the following criteria:

Overall Rating: Max 91

Primary Position: CM

Max PlayStyles: 10

Max PlayStyles+: 3

Pace: Max 88

This ensures balance across evolution choices while preventing the overuse of already elite meta cards. The aim is to reward tactical, smart upgrades rather than simply buffing the best players.
