Best Formation To Use In EA FC 25

Much like in its predecessor, many players and professional streamers and esports players have found out that still the best formation to use in EA FC 25 is 4-3-3. It offers the ideal balance between attack and defense, and with custom tactics you can make it ideal for most matches. Naturally, you can easily create different variations of the 4-3-3, depending if you want your team to focus on attack or defense, these changes would mostly depend on players’ roles and tactics.

As for the defensive and offensive tactics, we would recommend these:

• Defensive Approach: Balanced
• Build-Up Style: Short Passing

By using Short Passing, your players will not roam the field, but instead keep a close distance to one another. This is great to keep possession of the ball as much as possible, while maintaining flexibility to avoid too much pressure from the opponents. Last, but definitely not least, short passing lets you create interesting openings for your players, even in tight spaces. Balanced also works great as a build-up style, if you just want to keep your 4-3-3 as flexible as possible.

Here are the custom player tactics and focus for the 4-3-3 formation, without the ball:

• GK: Goalkeeper, Defend
• CB: Defender, Defend
• CB: Ball-Playing Defender, Defend
• LB: Wingback, Balanced
• RB: Attacking Wing, Balanced
• CM: Box-to-Box, Balanced
• CM: Playmaker, Attack
• CDM: Holding, Defend
• LW: Wide Playmaker, Attack
• RW: Inside Forward, Attack
• ST: Balanced (or Advanced) Forward, Attack

You might decide to switch the Attacking Wing role to your RB or LB, as it might depend on the skills of your player. Either way, it might be a good idea to place your attacking wing slightly further ahead of your other Wingback. Naturally, if you don’t have ideal players for this, you can use the Wingback role for both of your Wingers.

Here are the custom player tactics for the 4-3-3 formation with the ball:

• GK: Goalkeeper, Defend
• CB: Defender, Defend
• CB: Ball-Playing Defender, Defend
• LB: Wingback, Balanced
• RB: Attacking Wing, Balanced
• CM: Box-to-Box, Balanced
• CM: Playmaker, Attack
• CDM: Holding, Defend
• LW: Wide Playmaker, Attack
• RW: Inside Forward, Attack
• ST: Balanced (or Advanced) Forward, Attack

What you want to make sure is that if you have a strong inside forward left wing, then that position corresponds to your left attacking wing. So if you decide to switch one of those players on the right, then the other one should also follow. Keep your attacking wing and your inside forward close to get the best out of their roles.
