We wanted to share a guide on the new game mode FUT Draft. It should help you to get a good team with a high chemistry. Some tips might be quite obvious, others might be a little bit trickier. We also produced a video guide on this
The video guide contains more visual examples.
So, let's get right to the point.

Tip #1: Drafting order
Start your draft at the outside, go in the inside and then go back to other outside.
Why is this a good method?
It is usually the case that the players in the center of the formation have the highest number of links. Therefore, they a) affect the chemistry of a lot of players in the formation; b) need either strong links or a lot of weak links to get a good chemistry. Hence, it is key to connect them properly. With the outside-inside-outside method, you get two chances to get links to the players in the center.

Tip #2: Use the substitutes
When you are struggling to get proper links with the outside-inside-outside method, you should draft players on the bench to look for alternatives. But now comes the kicker: the positions on the bench are associated with the player with Fifa 16 coins xbox one! Position 1 is always a goalkeeper, position 2 & 3 are defenders, positions 4 & 5 are midfielders and position 6 & 7 are attackers. You can use this to directly take a chance on the bench to get the right players for the positions that you are struggling at the moment in the draft.

Tip #3: Change positions of the players
You can change the positions of two players, after you have drafted both positions. This is especially interesting, when you picked a formaiton that has certain positions more than once (i.e. 433 with 3 CMs). Then, you can change the positions of the CMs to get a link between a CM to a player which is restricted to a certain side.

Tip #4: Do this right away
You should do these changes right away to keep an overview over your draft (what leagues or nationalities are you looking for in future players). If you are not doing it right away, there is a higher chance that you will miss some opportunities to get a strong link, because you are not aware of it.

Tip #5: League and nationality choices
Sometimes you have the choice between players that do not offer any link to already drafted players. So, what kind of player should you choose? You should prefer players that play in a league or have a nationality, that has higher number of good players. That way you will have a higher chance to draft good players in the next stages that link to your player. Just a small example: the BPL has 58 players with a rating above 80, the Russian League has 5 of them.

Tip #6: Legends on Xbox
Well, legends are not only a good choice, since they are legends and have a high rating, but also because they have a atleast a weak link to every player in the game. This is new in FIFA 16 Ultimate Team. Hence, it is very easy to fit them into your team.

Tip #7: The formation should contain all position-types
Some formations do not contain winger positions (i.e. 4312) or fullbacks (all formations with only 3 defenders). Even though you have such a formation, you will get the option to draft wingers/fullbacks. Well, in the ends this reduces your chances to get proper links or good players, since you should not draft these players (you don't have a good position for them). Therefore, you should prefer a formation that contains all kinds of position-types (GK, CB, LB/RB, CDM/CM/CAM, RM/RW/RF, LM/LW/LF, CF/ST).

Tip #8: Substitute players in
Well, this is already a common technique in FUT for some years. Still, you can do it in FUT Draft to play with players that does not fit in your starting eleven (because they don't have good links or they do not fit in position-wise (see above)). At the moment, we cannot say how this affects the chemistry of the substitue player or of the other players on the pitch.

Tip #9: Pick a formation that you like
At the moment, you are not able to directly change the formation that you picked in the beginning of the draft. So, you should pick a formation that you are able to play with. You should not solely base your decision on links in the formation or what we mention in Tip #7.

Tip #10: Change of the formation ingame
As already hinted in Tip #9, you are able to indirectly change the formation ingame. For that, go to the menu where you can buy Fifa 16 coins, go to the position that you want to change and press square (on PlayStation) or X (on Xbox). Now you are able to move the position around on the pitch. By that, you are able to create your own custom formation. But we have to make to remarks: 1) It takes some time, which you might not have online. 2) We are not sure, if this will be possible in the retail version.
