EA FC 25: Best roles for all positions

Roles are a brand new introduction to EA FC 25, and the community has b꧒een very intrigued by them.

Roles have replaced the wܫork rate system from earlier games and rediscovered how footballers react on the field. Every footballer is familiar with specific roles (based on the positions they play in real life), and having a familiar role is undoubtedly beneficial. While the ultimate aim is to play footballers and boost their role++, focusing on particular roles based on the pos♊itions is also essential.

Best roles for every position in EA FC 25

Just like playstyles, certain roles perform better than the rest for every given position in EA FC 25. However, cerﷺtain positions with a greater number of choices can 𝓡become more confusing.

• GK – Sweeper Keeper/Balanced
• RB/LB – Fullback/Defend if you want to go defensive. Falseback/Balanced if you want more in the offense.
• CB – Defender/Defend or Ball-Playing Defender/Defend. Stopper is good if you’re playing 5-at-the-back.
• CDM – Holding/Defend
• CM – Box-to-Box/Balanced or Playmaker/Roaming if you want the player to focus more on the attack.
• RM/LM – Insider Forward/Attack
• CAM – Shadow Stiker/Attack
• RW/LW – Inside Forward/Attack
• ST – Poacher/Attack or Advance Forward/Attack

Irrespective of the formations you play, these roles will mostly excel if you’ve got the right players in your team. At least having players on Role+ is a big boost at the start of the year when most of our cards have low overall ratings and few playstyles.

Additionally, it’s likely going to happen that we will get unique cards with multiple Role++. For the time being, some of the best cards in EA FC 25 have Role++ in just one role, which is the sam𝔍e as playstyle+ for now. If EA Sports follows the same pattern they did last year, cards with multiple Role++ will be a reality very soon in Ul💝timate Team.
