The 97 Times Evolution gives one of your high-rated cards a clean two-level boost that touches nearly every meta stat. It costs 50,000 coins, works on any outfield player capped at 97 overall, and finishes in just two matches.
Quick answer: Slot in an endgame card that is 97 overall or lower and not a goalkeeper, play one match to trigger Level 1, then play a second match to trigger Level 2. Strong picks include Zidane Winter Wildcards, Gullit Trophy Titans, Patri Winter Wildcards, and Odegaard Summer Stars.
97 Times Evolution requirements
Only two conditions decide whether a card is eligible. Any outfield player who fits both can enter the Evolution.
| Requirement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Overall | Max 97 |
| Position | Not GK |
The entry cost is 50,000 coins. Because the overall cap sits at 97, top-tier attackers and defenders that are already at or below that rating all qualify.
Level 1 and Level 2 upgrades
The Evolution splits its boosts across two levels. Level 1 lifts the core rating along with passing, defending, and physical stats. Level 2 then focuses on the attacking and pace numbers.
| Level | Stat | Boost (cap) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Overall | +4 (98) |
| 1 | Passing | +4 (98) |
| 1 | Defending | +4 (97) |
| 1 | Physical | +4 (97) |
| 1 | Weak Foot | +4 |
| 2 | Shooting | +4 (97) |
| 2 | Dribbling | +4 (97) |
| 2 | Acceleration | +4 (97) |
| 2 | Sprint Speed | +4 (97) |
| 2 | Skills | +4 |
Both levels share the same simple task. You need to play one match in any mode using the active Evolution player to unlock each stage, so two games in total complete the whole thing.
How to complete the 97 Times Evolution
You know it worked when the Evolution progress shows both levels marked complete and the card displays its upgraded ratings in your club. If a stage does not trigger, the usual cause is that the card was not in your active starting lineup during the match.
Best players for the 97 Times Evolution
The strongest candidates are cards that already have elite face stats and gain the most from the balanced spread of boosts. A few options need to be run through an existing chain first, which also lets you use the finished card in competitive modes.
| Player | Card | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Zidane | Winter Wildcards | — |
| Pogba | Ultimate Scream | Requires a chain |
| Gullit | Trophy Titans | — |
| Vieira | Winter Wildcards | Requires a chain |
| Patri | Winter Wildcards | — |
| Xhaka | PTG | — |
| de Jong | PTG | — |
| Seger | FUTTIES Icon | — |
| Bouaddi | Phenoms | — |
| Odegaard | Summer Stars | — |
| Gilberto Silva | FUTTIES Hero | — |
| Ramires | FUTTIES Hero | — |
Tip: Adding this Evolution to a card you have already been building through a chain gives you better returns and keeps the finished player usable in competitive squads.
With only two matches standing between entry and a fully upgraded card, the 97 Times Evolution is a quick way to squeeze extra value from an endgame item you already own.
