No doubt the most significant change is the removal of positional chemistry links. Historically, this rigidity forced you to link players who line up alongside each other on the pitch via their league or nation. Failure to get green links would negatively impact your player’s chemistry rating, and thus, their in-game stats.
In practice, this has led to repetitive teams and a narrow meta that has ensured most competitive players use the same tried and tested combinations. FC 24 switches this up by removing positional links, now having chemistry defined by everyone in your squad.
For example, Liverpool’s full-back duo of Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold wouldn’t share any link in the FIFA 22 system due to them being on opposite sides of the pitch. That seems like something of an oversight when you consider the gut-busting defenders have been a key part of Liverpool’s success in recent years.
FC 24 has changed this up. Robertson and Alexander-Arnold will positively impact each other’s chemistry rating on FC 24 as a full-pitch view is taken instead. Players will have between zero and three chemistry (ditching the old 10-point system), highlighted by three diamonds on each FUT card. A handy panel on the left side of the FUT tactics screen will provide you with a snapshot of each player’s chemistry rating. No more amber and red links ruining the view.
