EA Sports FC 26 has made a significant comeback, introducing a streamlined sprint style mechanic. This year, players can choose from just three distinct styles: Explosive, Controlled, and Lengthy. This simplification is likely to highlight Lengthy players, who can achieve remarkable top speeds once they reach their peak performance.
Understanding Lengthy Players in FC 26
The criteria for a player to be classified as Lengthy in FC 26 have been made more straightforward. Primarily, this category includes taller, stronger players:
- Male players must stand over 6 feet 1 inch, while female players need to be over 5 feet 5 inches.
- A Strength rating of at least 65 is required.
- Players must have an Acceleration stat exceeding 40.
- Their Strength must surpass their Agility by a minimum of 4 points.
In previous iterations, a greater disparity between Strength and Agility was needed, which resulted in many players being categorized as Controlled, especially towards the latter stages of the Ultimate Team cycle when player stats were enhanced through Promo items.
The most significant limitation in the current criteria is the height requirement. This specification excludes numerous players who could otherwise greatly benefit from the Lengthy sprint style. For instance, well-known defenders like Franco Baresi, Ronald Koeman, and Ricardo Carvalho will never qualify as Lengthy due to their height. Additionally, iconic strong players like Adama Traore and Adebayo Akinfenwa are also left out under these guidelines.
In addition to naturally Lengthy players, you can utilize Chemistry Styles to adjust a player’s attributes, enabling them to meet the necessary criteria for this sprint style. As long as male players are taller than 6 feet 1 inch and females over 5 feet 5 inches, boosting their Strength to exceed their Agility is key to achieving Lengthy status.
