Work Rates for FC 25

Constructing an Ultimate Team squad involves considering various factors such as chemistry, positions, attributes, and prices. For those who delve deeper, factors like height, best foot, weak foot, skill moves, and work rates play a crucial role. Contrary to common belief, Work Rates significantly impacted the gameplay of both individual players and the team as a whole. However, not anymore since they were replaced by more complex player roles.

Player Work Rates determined the positioning of players on the field, relative to their original starting point. Classified as low, medium, or high, these rates influenced a player’s involvement in attacks and defenses, even when they were not in their designated positions. Importantly, Work Rates didn’t measure the intensity of a player’s effort in attack or defense but rather the specific areas of the pitch they occupied.

A high attacking work rate indicated a player actively participating in all offensive moves, while a medium rate implied selective involvement in attacks. On the other hand, a player with a low attacking work rate tended to hold their position during team attacks. The same principles applied to defensive work rates, determining a player’s engagement in defensive actions.

To comprehend the impact of work rates, post-game heat maps for each player offered valuable insights. These visual representations clearly illustrated the areas of the pitch where players spent the majority of their time during the game. Understanding and leveraging work rates could be pivotal in optimizing the performance of your Ultimate Team.
