Blog Tag: Fc 25 Playstyles

The introduction of various characters and features in EA FC series every year has greatly changed the game landscape, especially now that the previously popular feature PlayStyles have returned to FUT 25, it brings a revamped set of top choices. When you are selecting the right players, besides the usual key statistics, you need to pay special attention to each player’s PlayStyles, which will greatly affect the player’s performance on the pitch.

Whether you are a veteran player who wants to build a highly competitive team or a new player who is just getting started in this interesting football video game, understanding this very important selection factor is an essential step. So this guide will introduce you to several of the current FC 25’s best PlayStyles to facilitate your selection.

1. Aerial

The signature playstyle used by football star Virgil van Dijk is Aerial, which is very effective when players want to break the opponent’s defense with headers directly. You’ll often see this style on tall center backs, as their height and size are an enormous advantage and can help you win that one goal.

While the December patch for FIFA 25 made headers more difficult to control, Aerial will help you offset the significant difference that is more obvious when using other players who don’t have this PlayStyle. So don’t worry, just enjoy the honors and FUT 25 Coins that Dijk and other excellent defenders with this PlayStyle bring you!

2. Technical

If you are a player familiar with every FC series, you will definitely be familiar with Technical. It is one of the best PlayStyles in FC 25 at present, and it will be very effective if you can maximize the productivity of your player’s dribbler.

Technical allows players to keep close control of the ball while moving at a faster speed than a normal jog, to control the situation on the court. There are currently several soccer stars who can use this excellent PlayStyle to its fullest, including Lionel Messi and Phil Foden, who are difficult for opponents to intercept when they pass through the opponent’s defenders and advance to the goal.

3. Incisive Pass

In the previous FC 24, Incisive Pass has left a very deep impression on many fans and even became the symbol of the best passer in Ultimate Team. This strong PlayStyle allows your players to break through defenders with extremely accurate passes, pass the ball to teammates with perfect weight and speed, and give your team a very good chance to score.

Although there is no substantial disadvantage to higher-rated Passing, Incisive Pass alone cannot achieve very clean passes because you will always encounter some very good interceptors. So you also need to spend some FC 25 Coins on improving the accuracy and ability level of the precise through pass, which will increase your pass probability and make you more likely to gain an advantage in the game.

4. Anticipate

Anticipate is one of the most popular PlayStyles in FC 24, besides Incisive Pass. However, the sometimes insensitive bounce and the addition of several new animations make the defense more unstable than before, making it difficult to focus your team on defensive ability, even if most players have this PlayStyle.

Although Anticipate does not guarantee that a player will win possession after completing a good tackle, it is undoubtedly the most useful defensive PlayStyle if your players do not have a top defender. The advice here is that if you have difficulty grasping the timing of defense, you can also increase your chances of defending by improving defensive positioning and movement.

5. Long Ball Pass

Another incredible passing PlayStyle that made it into this guide is Long Ball Pass, but it has benefited from the change in mechanics in December patch. However, this style of play requires players to have a considerable amount of awareness and skills, so this is also one of PlayStyles that players love and hate.

But once you are familiar with and master this Long Ball Pass, the ball on the field will follow your thoughts and go where it needs to go, and there is a great probability that you can counterattack. This also means that this PlayStyle will be more suitable for players who like aggressive and offensive fields, and for those who want to be based on possession, it may be a little difficult to control. But please believe me, this risk is worth it for you to try, because the rewards are huge.

6. Power Shot

Even though EA has made some changes to the accuracy of the first Power Shot at this stage, it is still one of the most effective PlayStyles. If you are a player who likes to let players face off in one-on-one situations, or want to designate players and CAM who finds space on the edge of the penalty area and tries to score, then this PlayStyle will be very suitable for you and you will find it very effective.

Currently in the game, Federico Valverde is one of the best players with this playstyle, but its current Thunderstruck card requires too many FIFA 25 Coins, which is not commensurate with his other key statistical attributes, so you don’t have to pursue this playstyle too much.

The above are the best PlayStyles in FC 25, and the things you need to pay attention to when using them. Here, I need to remind you that neither PlayStyles nor key statistical attributes can be used as the only criterion for selecting players. You need to understand the various development attributes of the players thoroughly and then make the most correct choice. I wish you a happy game!
