FC 25 Player Roles list and Role Familiarity guide
How FC 25 Player Roles work and what happens if you use them out 🍌of💧 position

FC 25 Player Roles are a new addition this season, that were intriguingly expanded via the First Frost update. This December patch for EA FC 25 dropped alongside 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FC 25 Ultimate Succession. It saw two Roles added: the Classic 10, and the Wide Half. What exactly does that mean, and where do related features such as Focus and Role Familiarity fit in? All is explained🍸 in G🀅R'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 F🎶amiliarity. The more familiar a player is with their role, the more effective they’ll be, and there are four tiers to get y✨our head around. Here’s how they all work:
Base
A pl🐼ayer 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 min💝imum 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 symbol💧s 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.

I'm GamesRadar's sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occ𓂃asionally 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+.
