FC 25 chemistry styles are a godsend, and especially important should you wish to compete in the upper echelons of Division Rivals each week. These items can be found in EA FC 25 packs or purchased off the transfer market, then deployed to tweak key individual attributes such as Pace or Shooting. There are 26 cards in total, and we explain what each does in your FC 25 chemistry styles guide.

What are FC 25 chemistry styles?

There are 26 different FC 25 chemistry styles, and all of them can be either found in packs or purchased off the transfer market. 24 of them change specific attributes, while Basic and GK Basic effectively reset players to the base stats on their cards. 

Each chemistry style buffs either two or three main attributes, as outlined by the third and fourth columns in the tables below. Hunter and Shadow are the hardest to come by (and therefore most expensive on the transfer market) given that both award a considerable pace boost. 

If you're looking for the best players to use Chemistry Styles on, head over to GR's FC 25 ratings guide. Also note that ratings are newly affected this year by the introduction of FC 25 player roles.

These are all of the FC 25 chemistry styles found in this year's game, and the maximum possible buff when applied to a player on full 'chem'.

I'm GamesRadar's sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
