Chemistry

What is Chemistry?

Chemistry (often shortened to just ‘Chem’) has been a mechanic of FUT since it first began. It’s based on the real-world idea that chemistry between teammates is key to the success of a football team.

Players from the same nation will be more suited to play together as they’re able to effectively communicate and players playing the same league share knowledge of formations and tactics. Hence their chemistry on the field will be higher

It’s also a way for EA to stop anyone from using a true ‘God Squad.’ If you could play Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar in your squad without a stat penalty, everyone’s teams would end up looking very similar.

How does Chemistry affect my players in FUT?

Chemistry can boost or reduce the Stats of each player in your squad. This will be determined by both the players ‘Individual Chemistry’ and the overall ‘Team Chemistry.’

In general, you should aim to achieve at least 7 for each player’s ‘Individual Chemistry’ and a ‘Team Chemistry’ of at least 95. This means that you aren’t receiving the full chemistry stat boost, but your players should still feel sharp in game.

You should experiment with the chem of your FUT squad, as you may be good enough to use players on a lower chemistry rating. You need to balance between using your favourite players and getting a high enough chem rating that they don’t feel sluggish in game.

You can use a ‘Chemistry Style’ to channel the boost into specific stats for each player.
