FIFA 15 Ultimate Team: Tips on building the best team and finding the best players, page 2

You are not always going to have the players to fit the right positions and still maintain the best score or chemistry. When a player is playing out of position, the best indicator of how close to their optimal position is the foot indicator. Green means that they like the position (their stats are a good match and their main position is a close match). Orange means they’re ok with it. Red means they hate it.

Change the formation around depending on what mix of players you have. Experimentation is required here, but with enough of it, you’ll be able to determine whether your formation is optimal both for increasing ratings and chemistry, due to where players are in relation to each other, as well as increasing position effectiveness.

Additionally, different formations can compensate for organizational weaknesses and make them into strengths. Offense is bad? Pick a formation with three or four strikers. Defense is awful? Do the exact opposite. In general it’s best to stick to a formation with a balance of offense and defense, though.

Use the transfer market for the surest way to increase your chemistry, position rating, and all of the other good stuff besides rating. Search by league and club and try to pick up everybody from the same club, and use the club’s formation, or pick up everybody from the same league to maximize ratings. Or for more options, go with the same nationality. Your other players, the gold ones who don’t match, should be sold on the transfer market.

Use the auctions to make a major profit. Auction off your gold players, and set the buy-it-now price somewhere in the middle of the market value, maybe slightly higher depending on how long you want the auction to run for. And when you are bidding, bid during the last hour if at all possible.

Use the chemistry style cards to determine which team stats will take a boost from having high chemistry. Everyone has the basic chemistry style to start off with, and you can use the chemistry style on each player depending on their position and their desired statistics. For example, a defensive chemistry style is best for defenders.
