What is the best free evolution for Diego Maradona?

The best evolution for Diego Maradona is Diego's Dream III - with the Winger alternate position and the Technical PlayStyles+ upgrade.

Let's take a look at the three Maradona Evolutions side by side:

Comparing Diego's Dream Evolutions

Each version has some things in common, they all have 5-Star Skill Moves, the same number of PlayStyles and PlayStyles+ as well as fairly similar stats.

Each version will perform to a similar level so the only thing separating them is where you can place them tactically in game and which PlayStyles+ they possess.

Diego's Dream III gives you the highest stats in pace and dribbling with a dribbling PlayStyles+ that works with his body type in game. It also the same PlayStyles+ Grassroot Greats Icon Diego Maradona has.

With the added positional versatility playing in both wings and the RM position along with his base CAM Playmaker Role+ you can use him in many different ways as well.

These things make Diego's Dream III the best evolution for the free Diego Maradona in EA FC 25.

Is the Paid El Pibe de Oro Evolution worth it for Diego Maradona?

YES - The El Pibe de Oro Evolution is worth it for Diego Maradona.

The Evo costs 500,000 Coins or 1,000 FC Points to unlock to give you the following upgrades:

El Pibe de Oro Evolution Upgrades:

  • Finesse Shot PlayStyles+
  • Quick Step PlayStyles
  • +1-Star Weak Foot
  • +3 Overall Rating
  • +4 Physicality
  • +2 Pace, Passing, Shooting and Dribbling

Adding the Finesse Shot PlayStyles on top of another meta PlayStyles from the first evo and bringing him up to 5-Star Skill Moves and 4-Star Weak Foot makes him and incredibly overpowered player in game.

El Pibe de Oro Final Evolution

The final product after the paid evo is close to his Grassroot Greats Icon and will probably be better than his Base Icon in game.

Grassroot Greats Icon Maradona Price - February 16th

Given that the Grassroot Greats Icon is 11 Million coins on the market currently makes the price of this evo at 500K coins great value to get a similar player!
