FIFA 16 Ultimate Team is out now on Google Play and the App Store, meaning it’s once again time to scour the transfer market and spend far too much time opening virtual packs of cards in search of the best players for your new squad. It’s always been easy enough to build the team of your dreams if you’re willing to pay for the privilege, but it’s still possible to build a competitive side without laying a finger on your wallet. So, listen up budding Wengers, pay attention wannabe Van Gaals; here’s how to succeed in the cutthroat world of FIFA 16 Ultimate Team.

 

How To Pick Players: The Importance Of Chemistry In FIFA 16 Ultimate Team Draft Mode. You’ll want to draft your team so that it’s not only rich in talent, but rich in chemistry as well. The same mathematics that go towards building a strong chemistry rating in regular Ultimate Team apply here, such as nationality, club and league similarities. Going back to your first pick. Who you choose first can go a long way in determining how you should draft. For example, let’s say you take Cristiano Ronaldo as your captain. From there, you can go a number of directions with your next pick. It might be wise to select the next position based on your number one pick, depending on the formation you’ve hand picked.

 

Each player in each team you have will have a chemistry rating out of 10. So when that is 10 the player will play to his maximum ability. When you look at your team you will see the chemistry rating out of 100 to the right. This is the total of all your players chemistry. If you have 2 players from the same league and country you will see a green link between them. This indicates a strong link. If a link is yellow it is weaker and if it red it is low. To have strong links as above players need to be from the same country or league or club. In older FIFAs players had a maximum chemistry of 9. It is 10 in FIFA 15 and FIFA 16 and you can get player loyalty from them being in your team for 10 games. Gives you an extra 1 chemistry for them. Chemistry styles which were introduced in FIFA 15 are still there and they can boost your players in different areas like pace, passing, tackling etc.

 

Single Player Tournaments: If you want the challenge of cup play, these single-elimination, knockout-style tournaments are for you. You’ll want to check back fairly often, as the game cycles through its tournament offerings on a regular basis, and several of the tournaments available at any given time will only be around for a few days. Many tournaments have requirements that dictate the make-up of the team you use, and some also have unlock requirements as well. There isn’t really a need to spend much time going over the controls in FIFA 16 Ultimate Team, because they’re pretty self-explanatory. The thumbstick moves your selected player, while buttons on the other side of the screen are context-sensitive and clearly labeled as to what they do under the current circumstances.

 

The formation of the team is also very key in attaining better stats. This is because players in the same position but in different formation get different needs. This is due to the fact that different formations give the players different roles. It is therefore important to ensure that a good analysis of what the role of the player in a particular formation is. After doing the analysis it becomes easier to know which individual chemistry is best for the player. The style of play will determine the nature of chemistry players need to have. Analyze the different roles of the players according to FIFA then decide what chemistry will work best for the style of play of the players. You can transfer your FIFA 15 FIFA Points once.
