Comprehensive Guide to FIFA 19 Ratings Calculator
The FIFA 19 ratings system is a complex algorithm that determines how players perform in the game. Understanding how these ratings are calculated can give you a significant advantage in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) and career mode. This guide will explain the intricacies of the FIFA 19 rating system and how our calculator works to predict player ratings.
How FIFA 19 Player Ratings Are Calculated
FIFA 19 uses a weighted system to calculate overall player ratings, where different attributes contribute differently based on the player’s position. Here’s how the system works:
- Position-Specific Weighting: Each position has different attribute weights. For example, pace is more important for wingers than for goalkeepers.
- Attribute Groupings: The six main attribute categories (Pace, Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Defending, Physical) are calculated separately before contributing to the overall rating.
- Non-Linear Scaling: The relationship between attribute values and their contribution to the overall rating isn’t linear. Higher attribute values contribute disproportionately more to the overall rating.
- Age Factor: Younger players (under 23) have their potential ratings calculated differently, with more weight given to their current growth trajectory.
- Special Traits: Players with 5-star weak foot or skill moves receive small bonuses to their overall rating.
Position-Specific Attribute Weights
Different positions emphasize different attributes. Here’s a breakdown of how attributes are weighted for various positions:
| Position | Pace | Shooting | Passing | Dribbling | Defending | Physical |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Striker (ST) | 20% | 35% | 15% | 20% | 5% | 5% |
| Winger (LW/RW) | 30% | 20% | 20% | 25% | 3% | 2% |
| Central Midfielder (CM) | 15% | 15% | 30% | 20% | 10% | 10% |
| Center Back (CB) | 10% | 5% | 10% | 10% | 35% | 30% |
| Goalkeeper (GK) | 5% | 1% | 10% | 5% | 5% | 5% |
Understanding Attribute Calculations
Each of the six main attributes is calculated by combining several sub-attributes:
- Pace: (Acceleration × 0.6) + (Sprint Speed × 0.4)
- Shooting: (Positioning × 0.3) + (Finishing × 0.3) + (Shot Power × 0.2) + (Long Shots × 0.1) + (Volleys × 0.05) + (Penalties × 0.05)
- Passing: (Vision × 0.3) + (Crossing × 0.2) + (Short Passing × 0.2) + (Long Passing × 0.2) + (Curve × 0.1)
- Dribbling: (Agility × 0.25) + (Balance × 0.25) + (Reactions × 0.2) + (Ball Control × 0.2) + (Dribbling × 0.1)
- Defending: (Interceptions × 0.3) + (Heading Accuracy × 0.2) + (Defensive Awareness × 0.2) + (Standing Tackle × 0.15) + (Sliding Tackle × 0.15)
- Physical: (Jumping × 0.2) + (Stamina × 0.2) + (Strength × 0.3) + (Aggression × 0.3)
Age and Potential Ratings
In FIFA 19, a player’s age significantly impacts their potential rating calculation:
| Age Range | Potential Growth Factor | Peak Age Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 16-18 | High (1.4×) | None |
| 19-21 | Medium-High (1.2×) | None |
| 22-25 | Medium (1.0×) | +2 to overall |
| 26-29 | Low (0.8×) | +3 to overall |
| 30-33 | Very Low (0.6×) | +1 to overall |
| 34+ | Minimal (0.4×) | -1 to overall |
Special Attributes and Their Impact
Certain special attributes can significantly boost a player’s effectiveness in FIFA 19:
- Weak Foot (WF):
- 5★: +3 to shooting and passing with weak foot
- 4★: +2 to shooting and passing with weak foot
- 3★: +1 to shooting and passing with weak foot
- 2★: No bonus
- 1★: -1 to shooting and passing with weak foot
- Skill Moves (SM):
- 5★: +5 to dribbling when performing skill moves
- 4★: +3 to dribbling when performing skill moves
- 3★: +1 to dribbling when performing skill moves
- 2★: No bonus
- 1★: -1 to dribbling when attempting skill moves
- Work Rates:
- High/High: +2 to stamina consumption rate
- High/Medium: +1 to stamina consumption rate
- Medium/Medium: No effect
- Low/Medium: -1 to stamina consumption rate
- Low/Low: -2 to stamina consumption rate
How to Use This Information in FIFA Ultimate Team
Understanding the rating system can help you make better decisions in FUT:
- Player Selection: Look for players whose attributes align with their position’s weightings. A winger with high pace and dribbling but low defending is perfectly fine.
- Chemistry Styles: Apply chemistry styles that boost the most important attributes for a player’s position. For example, use “Hunter” on strikers to boost pace and shooting.
- Potential vs. Overall: In career mode, focus on young players with high potential rather than established stars who are past their peak.
- Weak Foot Upgrades: Players with 4★ or 5★ weak feet are significantly more valuable as they can shoot and pass effectively from either side.
- Skill Moves: Players with 4★ or 5★ skill moves can perform more advanced dribbles, making them more effective in 1v1 situations.
Common Misconceptions About FIFA Ratings
Many players have misunderstandings about how ratings work in FIFA:
- “Higher overall always means better player”: A player’s overall rating doesn’t tell the whole story. A 82-rated winger with 90 pace might be more effective than an 85-rated winger with 75 pace.
- “Potential is guaranteed”: A player’s potential is just an estimate. Their actual development depends on game time, form, and training in career mode.
- “All attributes are equally important”: As shown in the position weightings, some attributes matter much more than others depending on the position.
- “Older players are always worse”: While younger players have higher potential, experienced players (26-29) often have a “+3 to overall” peak age bonus.
- “Chemistry styles don’t matter much”: The right chemistry style can boost a player’s key attributes by 10-15 points, dramatically changing their effectiveness.
Advanced Tips for Rating Optimization
For players looking to maximize their team’s performance:
- Attribute Synergy: Look for players whose attributes complement each other. For example, a striker with high positioning and finishing will score more goals than one with just high finishing.
- Position Changes: Some players perform better in different positions than their card suggests. For example, some CAMs might be more effective as STs if they have high shooting attributes.
- Hidden Attributes: FIFA tracks attributes that aren’t visible on player cards, like “composure under pressure” and “injury proneness.” These can only be estimated but are important for player performance.
- Form and Fitness: A player’s current form (hot/cold streak) can temporarily boost or reduce their attributes by up to 5 points.
- Team Chemistry: While individual player chemistry matters, team chemistry (links between players) can provide additional hidden boosts to passing and movement.
