EA FC 25: Best Playstyle For Every Position

Since Playstyles were introduced into the series, they have proved to be a game changer, which continues in EA Sports FC 25. While each player in the game has stats to cover every aspect of football rated between 0 and 99, the very best players have additional abilities and playstyles, further increasing their key attributes. Many of the Playstyles you might choose to use will depend on your style of play, especially for certain positions such as the full-back and wide players.

In some of the best formations in EA Sports FC 25, you will want your attacking players to have Playstyles to take on defenders, whereas sometimes keeping the ball is more key. There are 34 Playstyles in EA Sports FC 25, with each being further improved if your player has the Playstyle Plus ability. The 34 Playstyles are divided into scoring, ing, defending, ball control, physical, and goalkeeping. These are included across all modes in EA Sports FC 25, such as Career Mode and Ultimate Team, but are set in stone for each player and can't be altered.

Best Playstyle For All Positions

Which Playstyles You Need Across Your Team

Positions	Best Playstyle	Information
Goalkeeper GK	Footwork	Footwork means your goalkeeper will perform saves with their feet more frequently and extend their reach.
Fullbacks LB/RB	Intercept	Intercept increases players' reach and improves their chances of retaining possession of the ball when performing interceptions, which can be crucial for fullbacks to break up attacks.
Center Backs CB	Block	The block Playstyle increases players' reach when performing blocks and improves their ability to make a successful block. Having defenders with this can significantly limit the number of attempts on target on your goal.
Defensive Midfielders CDM	Anticipate	While also a good quality to have on defenders, Anticipation can change games for CDMs as it improves their chances of standing tackle success and keeping hold of the ball more after tackles.
Central Midfielders CM	Tika Taka	With time not always guaranteed in the center of midfield, Tika Taka is a great Playstyle to have. It increases the accuracy and pace of ground es, keeping the ball moving up the pitch.
Attacking Midfielders AM	Incisive	While attacking midfielders have many roles, one key thing you need from them is the ability to through balls to the strikers. Having a player with an Incisive means that these through es are more accurate and travel to their target faster.
Wide Midfielders LM/RM	Rapid	A great option for getting fast wide midfielders up the pitch is using those with Rapid. They will reach a higher sprint speed while dribbling and have less chance of losing control of the ball.
Wingers LW/RM	Technical	For wingers likely to drive into the box, Technical increases their speed when using controlled sprints, allowing for more accurate running through gaps in the final third.
Strikers ST/CF	Finesse Shot	One of the most effective shots in EA Sports FC 25, Finesse Shots, are performed faster with additional curves and improved accuracy.

EA Sports FC 25 is the first entry in the series to introduce Playstyles for goalkeepers, with six to choose from. While some, such as Far Throw and Cross Claimer, may suit certain modes, Footwork is the best option. It will increase the number of saves your goalkeeper makes with his feet, which could prove vital in tight matches.

Several Playstyles stand out for defenders and defensive midfielders, but your style should dictate which you want for different positions. Intercept, Block, and Anticipate can all work well for the various roles depending on your preference and formation. The more creative midfielders playing centrally or attacking can make the most of their abilities if they have ones that will increase their ing, such as Incisive , Tika Taka, or Pinged .

Players automatically have Playstyles attached to their stats, which cannot be altered, but new versions of players are introduced in Ultimate Team regularly and can contain new or different Playstyles.

For both wide midfielders and wingers, it will depend on your preference and what you want from your players. My choice is Technical, especially if you have skilled players, as this will increase their ability to beat the defender and push towards goal. However, physical attributes such as rapid speed should also be considered, as the extra speed it gives can set you free on goal from a wide position.

For strikers, there are numerous options from the scoring category and physical upgrades. However, the one that can have the most significant impact is Finesse Shots. While not as overpowered as in EA Sports FC 24, it dramatically increases the accuracy of this type of shot, opening up many opportunities for goals from further out. Playstyles have quickly become a crucial part of EA Sports FC 25, and having the best ones for each position attached to your player significantly increases the team's effectiveness.
