FC 25 Player Roles expand upon the PlayStyles feature introduced in FC 24, with the overall aim of giving individual stars even more personality. They determine how team-mates move both with and without the ball inEA FC 25– and are further enhanced by two additional elements called Focus and Role Familiarity. What do these terms all mean, exactly? Find out in GR’s FC 25 Player Roles guide.
FC 25 Role Familiarity tiers explained
Before we get to the Player Roles list, you need to understand FC 25 Role Familiarity. The more familiar a player is with their role, the more effective they’ll be, and there are four tiers to get your head around. Here’s how they all work:
Base
A player in your team at one of his or her preferred positions has access to all the Roles at that position on the list below, to a minimum of Base level.
Role+
Every player has at least one Role+. This means they’re better in that role than the other options at their disposal.
Role++
The game’s elite players get two plus symbols in their most productive role. This signifies them being among the best on the planet in that department.
Out Of Position
Deploy a player somewhere that isn’t a preferred position and you’ll see a yellow exclamation mark assigned to them. That means they operate using a simplified version of their current role.
All possible EA FC 25 Player Roles & Focus combinations at launch are included on the list below. More interested in how the game plays? Instead check out ourEA FC 25 preview.
Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more
I’m GamesRadar’s sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don’t have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
