Player Position
Players are used to play on a determined position but they can adapt themselves to similar positions. That is also what happens in FUT 18.
Relation with the other Players
The more two players have in common, the higher will be the chemistry and better they will play.
Relation with the Manager
To boost contracts is not the only manager’s role. To each player, he may give an extra chemistry point.
Loyalty with the Club
Loyalty was designed to further reward UT players for opening packs or keeping a player for an extended amount of games. After 10 matches of playing with the same player, or using a player pulled from a pack, the player will receive a bonus to his Individual Chemistry. He only needs one of these two things to get the bonus.
FIFA 18 tips: how does Chemistry work - styles, ratings, linking players, positions and cards
Getting your team chemistry right is vital in order to squeeze every last drop of potential from your players, so don’t overlook it.
What does chemistry actually do?
Simply, chemistry affects – positively or negatively – the attributes of the players you decide to put on the pitch.
Chemistry ratings
Each player has an individual chemistry rating, which can be viewed by going to your ‘Active Squad’ page and flicking the right stick once to the right to change the view to display each player’s details.
How to increase chemistry - Linking Players
Positioning players that have things in common next to one another on the pitch has a huge impact on their individual chemistry and, subsequently, on team chemistry. The lines linking players in your formation tell you how much chemistry they have with one another: red means no chemistry, orange is average and green is excellent.
How to increase chemistry - Player Positions
Placing players in positions they’re comfortable in has a positive affect on chemistry. A player’s position is marked below their card on your squad screen, its colour communicating how happy they are in that role. Green means very happy, yellow is average and red means they’re totally unsuitable for the job.
How to increase chemistry – extra tips
If you absolutely want to fit a specific player into your team even though you can’t create perfect chemistry by doing so then there is a solution for those with a lot of time on their hands.
Chemistry Cards
There is also a selection of cards that can be applied to individual players that alter their base stats in very specific ways. For instance, if you’re not happy with Roberto Firmino’s goal scoring ability then you can apply a ‘Sniper’ chemistry card – the result of which is to improve a player’s shooting and dribbling stats.
How to see chemistry stat changes -
The biggest change to how players can see chemistry working in FIFA 19 is in the “Attribute Details” menu on every card. On console, you can see a player’s bio, stats for your team, and attribute values by clicking in the right stick.
Chemistry styles in FIFA 19
There aren’t any new chemistry styles in FIFA 19, but players now have a distinct icon at the bottom of their card which more clearly shows which they have applied.
The difference between team chemistry and player chemistry
In FUT 19, both the chemistry of the whole team and the individual player affects stat bonuses or reductions.
How much chemistry do substitutes have in FIFA 19 FUT?
When you send out a substitute, they’re not exempt from chemistry. Substitutes have a fixed player chemistry of 5, so if you have a high team chemistry, they can still get stat bonuses.
Does changing formation in Ultimate Team affect chemistry?
When you’ve kicked off in a match, no tactical changes that you make in the Team Management menu will affect your chemistry - other than substituting a player of course. That means you can freely alter your formation to suit your opponent and change players’ positions at will.
