How do PlayStyles work in EA FC 26?

Playstyles determine a player's behavior in crucial moments, going beyond basic statistics. A striker with "Placed Shot" finishes with much greater accuracy compared to one without this characteristic. A winger with "Fast" keeps the ball under control even during long runs, making their actions more consistent.

Furthermore, there are standard playstyles and playstyle+. While the standard playstyle improves a specific skill, the playstyle+ transforms the athlete into a specialist in that role. For example, a defender with "Anticipation+" can execute tackles more successfully than others who only have the standard Anticipation playstyle. This means that team planning considers not only individual attributes but also the identity that each player carries with their playstyle.

EA FC 26's PlayStyles help give each player personality. They make a pass, interception, or shot behave differently depending on the player performing the action, making each player's choice strategic.

Playstyles for each position

Playstyles are divided into categories that directly impact each position: finishing, passing, defending, ball control, physicality, and goalkeeping. By analyzing these categories, you can identify the most advantageous ones for each role within the team.

• Center Forwards : Placed Shot, Precise Header, and Low Shot;
• Tips : Fast, Illusionist and Agile Driving;
• Attacking midfielders : Strong Pass, Incisive Pass and Tiki-Taka;
• Defensive midfielders : Barrier, Interception and Marking;
• Fullbacks : Interception, Speed ​​and Accurate Crossing;
• Defenders : Anticipation, Air Force and Sheriff;
