FC 25 Player Roles list and Role Familiarity guide

The intriguing FC 25 Player Roles mechanic gained a little more depth via the First Frost update. This EA FC 25 patch dropped in early December to tie in with FC 25 Ultimate Succession. It saw two new Player Roles added: the Classic 10, and the Wide Half. But what exactly does that mean, and where do related features such as Focus and Role Familiarity fit in? All is explained by GR's FC 25 Player Roles guide.

FC 25 Role Familiarity tiers explained

Before we get to the Player Roles list, you need to understand FC 25 Role Familiarity. The more familiar a player is with their role, the more effective they’ll be, and there are four tiers to get your head around. Here’s how they all work:

Base

A player in your team at one of his or her preferred positions has access to all the Roles at that position on the list below, to a minimum of Base level.

Role+ 

Every player has at least one Role+. This means they’re better in that role than the other options at their disposal.

Role++

The game’s elite players get two plus symbols in their most productive role. This signifies them being among the best on the planet in that department.

Out Of Position

Deploy a player somewhere that isn’t a preferred position and you’ll see a yellow exclamation mark assigned to them. That means they operate using a simplified version of their current role.
