How to Get Chemistry Bonus

Add More Players from the Same Team Get Boosts

To get chemistry bonuses, you simply need to add more players from the same team to your lineup. Each tier can go up to Tier 10, requiring 50 different players from the same team.

If the boxes next to each tier are unticked, it means you haven't met the required number of members for that tier. For example, the team needs two more players from the Cincinnati Bengals to activate Tier 1. Once you meet the requirement, all five players will get the +1 ACC boost.

What is Theme Team?

A Team Built Around the Same Existing Team

A theme team in Ultimate Team (MUT) is a lineup composed of players from the same team. The more players you have from the same team, the more boosts you receive, regardless of whether they are legends or active players. For example, assembling a team entirely from the Miami Dolphins will grant you a tiered chemistry boost.

Since your lineup will need to consist of players from the same team, you'll be compromising certain positions by including players with lower OVR. However, all players from the same team will receive the same collective boosts as you unlock more tiers in the chemistry bonus.
