Custom Tactics Are Key
This one’s pretty self-explanatory, but if you haven’t already, you really need to get your Ultimate Team’s custom tactics set up.
Custom tactics allow you to change the defensive and offensive style of play that your team will adopt. For example, if you’d like your team to utilize a quick counter-attack, you can set this up. You can also change the width and depth of your team, individual player instructions, and even player positions within your formation.
I’ll confess, I didn’t think custom tactics would make much of a difference when I properly got into Ultimate Team last year, but the difference cannot be understated.
What is important to keep in mind here, however, is that custom tactics must be done correctly. If you go in blind and don’t know what you’re looking to achieve or how you want your team to play, you could make things worse for you.
We’ve seen a lot of success with using a 4-4-2 custom tactic shown off by The FIFA Analyst once again, so be sure to give this a try if you’re struggling to get those W’s.
