Chemistry Impact


FC 26 Chemistry plays a vital role in determining how well your players perform on the pitch. It reflects how effectively a player will execute actions during a match—the higher the chemistry, the better their performance.

Each player can earn between zero and three Chemistry Points, shown as filled blue diamonds on their item. The attributes affected by the active chemistry style will receive a small, medium, or full boost depending on the number of points. Players with zero chemistry points will perform based solely on their base stats, with no negative modifiers applied.

FC 26 Chemistry evaluates several key elements that influence player performance:

  • Natural positioning;
  • Familiarity with teammates;
  • Connection with the manager.
Some special player items may follow unique rules, allowing them to achieve full or partial chemistry regardless of standard requirements.
Positioning

Positioning


Positioning is a mandatory requirement for chemistry. Only a player who is playing in his preferred positions can enable it. If it is not the case, his chemistry will be zero, and he won’t be taken into consideration for the teammate’s chemistry.

In Ultimate Team, a player can have up to three preferred positions where he can play without impacting chemistry. All you need to do is to check if the active position is the one where he is playing.

Relation with the other Players


If a player in your starting XI is playing in his preferred position, he will be able to earn up to three chemistry points, depending on how many players in your Starting XI share the same country, league and club:

  • +1 when 2 players are from the same club or country;
  • +1 when 3 players are from the same league;
  • +2 when 4 players are from the same club;
  • +2 when 5 players are from the same country or league;
  • +3 when 7 players are from the same club;
  • +3 when 8 players are from the same country or league.
Your players influence the chemistry of others in the Starting XI, regardless of their position on the field. Additionally, women’s footballers can form connections with men’s footballers who share the same nationality and/or play for their affiliated club.

Icons and Heroes always have three chemistry points when playing in their preferred positions, regardless of the rest of the squad. Icons also contribute two increments towards their country chemistry threshold and one increment to every league, while Heroes contribute one for the nation and two for the league.

Relation with the Manager


Every player sharing the same nationality or league as the active manager gains an additional chemistry point. This manager bonus is capped at one point, even if a player belongs to both the same country and league as the manager. If necessary, you can align the league of the manager with the player’s league by using a league modifier card.
Frequently Asked Questions
FC 26 Chemistry measures how well players are familiar with their positions, teammates, and manager. Higher chemistry leads to improved player attributes.
So far, no changes were reported.
Women only link to men through club and country, but not league.
Optimal chemistry is achieved when all players have a chemistry rating of 3. If that’s not possible, aim for no player to have a rating below 2. Building a team around a single league or nationality makes this easier, as long as players are positioned correctly.
Each player can earn up to three chemistry points, depending on their positioning, relationship with teammates, and the manager.
A player in your Starting XI can only increase their chemistry score and exceed zero when positioned in their Preferred Position. Furthermore, they will only contribute to the squad’s chemistry thresholds when playing in this preferred position.
A player in your starting XI, positioned in their preferred role, will contribute one increment to their club, country/region, and league chemistry thresholds. By including players in your starting XI who match the club, country/region, or league of other players in your starting lineup, you will reach chemistry thresholds that result in the addition of chemistry points for those corresponding players.
Substituted players will not receive any attribute boosts from the Chemistry system. It’s important to note that negative attributes were removed starting from FUT 23. As a result, even with 0 Chemistry, players will perform based on their base attributes.
Once an Ultimate Team match has started, any changes made to formations, tactics, or player positions through team management will not affect the Chemistry of your Starting XI players.
