According to the image shared by the Canadian studio, the Hunter chemistry style will now provide only a +6 boost to both Acceleration and Sprint Speed, compared to the +8 it granted in previous editions. Other attributes will also receive lower boosts than in the past.
The same applies to the Shadow chemistry style: both Acceleration and Sprint Speed will receive a +6 boost, while the Interceptions stat will now get just a +3 boost instead of the +8 offered in earlier editions.
Chemistry styles such as Engine, Catalyst and Hawk have also been heavily revised, with their attribute boosts now significantly lower than what players had grown accustomed to.
A brand-new feature in styles concerns the stats for composure and stamina, which for the very first time can now receive a boost. Composure can be increased by using the base styles Finisher, Artist, Maestro and Guardian. Stamina, on the other hand, can be boosted by applying the Sniper, Architect and Backbone styles.
If you’re a fan of Ultimate Team, you’ll also find on our site a dedicated guide explaining how to unlock the transfer market area of the Web App and Companion App, both of which will go live in September.

To support this slower curve, Chemistry Styles have also been rebalanced in FC 26 helping to keep upgrades feel satisfying without letting any single Chemistry Style disrupt the overall balance of Items:
- New Boost Model: Styles now use a 3/6/9-point boost system instead of 4/8/12, narrowing stat gaps and keeping balance tighter.
- Pace Trade-Offs: Pace-heavy styles are now more of a choice. Boosting speed comes with trade-offs in other areas, so not all Items become pace-focused.
- More Diversity: Non-pace styles have been tuned to emphasize key attributes like Composure, Reactions, and Stamina, encouraging different builds across your club.
