Recognizing FIFA 19 Chemistry Styles

If you play FIFA 19 or any other football game online, you already know that having the best players go a long way to win a football match. However, when all it’s all said and done, your players are usually only as good as their attributes. But—there is a changing light that can be even more important: your team needs to have good FIFA 19 Chemistry Styles.

When talking about the FIFA 19 Ultimate Team (FUT 19), what do we mean by chemistry? Chemistry is simply the term used to define how good your team members function together. If you have good players who don’t work together, you’ll still find it difficult to win games, especially when playing against a competitive opponent.

What are the 2 types of Chemistry?

• Individual Chemistry: This is the chemistry of an individual player measured from 1 to 10. When adding a player to your FUT 19, you’ll see whether this player will add (+) or subtract (-) from your team chemistry.

• Team Chemistry: You can see the overall team chemistry which ranges from 1 to 100. There are many factors that affect team chemistry and you should target overall team chemistry of over 80. First, you need to have players in their best positions. Other factors that affect team chemistry are players’ nationality, club, league, and how often they play in your team.

The function of Chemistry Styles is to improve your players’ individual chemistry by increasing their attributes. Generally, you can separate your players into 4 categories based on the positions they play.

4 Categories

1. Goalkeeper
2. Defender
3. Midfielder
4. Forward/Attacker

Whatever position a player plays, there are Chemistry Styles that improve their attributes and we will go into those Chemistry styles shortly.
