Chemistry
In FIFA Ultimate Team, building the best possible side requires strong chemistry between your players.
Chemistry starts with placing players from the same club, league, or nationality next to each other in your lineup to create a link. The more elements that match, the stronger the chemistry link.
You can improve a squad’s chemistry in a number of ways:
- Placing players of the same club, league, or nationality next to one another – the more of these elements that match, the stronger the link will be
- Putting players in the positions listed on their item
- Using player items with the “loyalty” bonus, which is only found when the item is obtained via pack or after playing 10 FUT matches with your club.

Parental controls
When accessing FIFA Ultimate Team online via the Companion App or Web App, it is possible to set up the account for your child and place any restrictions you wish on the FIFA Ultimate Team online account.
If you’re setting up an Origin Account (needed to access the Web app) for your child, we suggest first creating your own Origin Account, and then using the email registered on your Origin Account as the “Parental Email” when setting up your child’s account. This will ensure you’re able to contact customer support whenever your child has an issue.
Also, there is no need to put your credit card details on the console/system in order to allow the gamer to purchase packs. Simply pick up a FIFA Points card at your local retailer – this way you’ll be able to purchase points without ever having to supply your card details online.
Alongside these in-game restrictions, the PS4 also has a comprehensive range of parental controls that allow you to carefully manage the content and features your children have access to.
