Player attributes in FC 26 define how footballers perform on the pitch. Attributes represent each player’s abilities, skills, and physical qualities, shaping how they dribble, defend, pass, shoot, and move. Mastering attributes is essential for building balanced squads and making tactical decisions in every game mode.
Attributes appear in all FC 26 game modes. In Ultimate Team, six core stats are displayed on every player card: Pace, Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Defending, and Physicality. These are backed by 30+ detailed attributes grouped into three categories:
- Physical – Speed, stamina, strength, and agility.
- Mental – Awareness, composure, positioning, reactions.
- Skills – Technical qualities like passing, dribbling, finishing, tackling.
