Is there a new Chemistry system in EA FC 24?

EA FC 24 features the same Chemistry system that was seen in FIFA 23. While last year’s game overhauled the feature completely, the latest edition makes some subtle changes.

This means that all players still link to other players from the same leagues and nations, but now you’ll also be able to link Women’s footballers to Men’s footballers who play for the same affiliated club. For example, Sam Kerr links to Enzo Fernandez, as both play for Chelsea.

EA FC 24 changes to Icon Chemistry

In EA FC 24, Icons provide one Chemistry point to players from any league, and they also offer two points when linking players of the same nationality.

This is a change that fans have been calling for since the revamped Chemistry system arrived in FIFA 23, as many felt that Icons were underpowered. With this update, the Icons regain their prominence in the Ultimate Team meta again.

How does Chemistry work in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team?

Considering that the EA FC 24 Ultimate Team Chemistry system works in the same way as in previous years, there are five key factors to consider in order to achieve the highest possible chemistry rating in Ultimate Team:

  • Player position
  • Club
  • League
  • Nationality
  • Manager nationality and league

To ensure maximum Chemistry in the team, it is important that you cover as many of these key factors as possible, combining players from the same League, Club, or Nationality, and properly covering each player’s position.

Additionally, making sure you have a manager who shares the Nationality or League with the majority of the players further improves the team’s cohesion. Undoubtedly, Chemistry plays a crucial role in enhancing player attributes, boosting team performance, and improving the overall connection of your squad.
