Unlocking the EA FC25 Roma Trio in Ultimate Team
To get started, you’ll need to unlock the base versions of Gervinho, Ibarbo, and Doumbia through Objectives. These tasks are simple and easy, making it accessible for all players.
Here’s how you can add these legendary Roma attackers to your squad:
- Play 1 Match in any Ultimate Team mode to unlock 78-rated Ibarbo.
- Start Ibarbo in a Match to unlock 81-rated Gervinho.

Once these base versions are unlocked, the real fun begins—the Evolution process that takes them to an impressive 90-rated overall.
