Sniper Chemistry Style in FC 27

What Sniper boosts

Sniper boosts two attribute groups: Shooting (SHO) and Dribbling (DRI). Same groups as Finisher — the difference is the player, not the numbers. Sniper is for the composed type: the poacher who reads the rebound, takes one touch, and places it past the keeper. Compare it with the full list in our FC 27 chemistry styles guide.

How the boost scales with chemistry

The boost is not fixed — it scales with that player's own chemistry points:

A Sniper on a 1-chemistry poacher barely registers. Use our FC 27 chemistry calculator to get the player to 3 chemistry first, then apply the style.

Best positions for Sniper

• Poacher striker (ST): the archetype — lives in the box, finds half-yards of space, finishes first or second touch. Sniper rewards composure.
• Central forward (CF): works for the clinical second striker who drops in, turns in traffic, and shoots rather than sprays passes.

Rule of thumb: Sniper is a finisher's style, not a creator's. If your forward's highlights are assists, Deadeye is the honest answer.

When NOT to pick Sniper

vs Finisher: both boost Shooting + Dribbling, so let's be honest — the practical difference is marginal. Sniper suits calm box finishers who place their shots; Finisher suits pacey forwards shooting on the move. Pick the one that matches the player's personality.

vs Deadeye: when passing matters more than dribbling — a false 9 threading balls in traffic — Deadeye's Shooting + Passing pairing is the better fit.

Example: Sniper on a poacher

Take a poacher on 3 chemistry with great positioning but shots that keep hitting the keeper. Sniper at 3 chemistry lifts Shooting and Dribbling (about +3 each): the first touch is cleaner in tight space and the placed finishes find corners. On 1 chemistry, the style is decoration — fix the chemistry first.
