FC 25 chemistry styles are an integral part of Ultimate Team for anyone with ambitions of conquering Division Rivals, or the weekend league. They enable you to tweak key EA FC 25 attributes such as Pace or Shooting – adding individuality to any line-up, and evolving your tactical structure at the same time. There are 26 cards in total, and we explain what each one of them 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'.
