top three tactics to help you score more goals in EA FC 25

FC IQ revolutionized formations in FC 25, and one does not simply use a pair of strikers. You need to painstakingly consider the structure when your team is on the ball and off it for success. Tactics which work well now require a complete system of approach for both scoring and solidity at the back.

After a lot of testing, we came up with three powerful tactics using different formations. The following are tactics to take full advantage of your team in Ultimate Team or Career Mode. Now, let's break down each formation, the ideal in-game player roles on it, and how you can use it to your benefit.

Best formations in FC 25

Really nailing FC 25, though, means taking a deeper look at some of the finer points of formations and player roles. Along with these three formations-4-2-2-2, 4-3-2-1 Narrow, and 3-5-2-there is, in fact, more to it.

Flexibility in Formation:

Dynamic Changes: Change up your formations during a match. Adapt to the situation at hand, the opponent's tactics, and your strengths/weaknesses.

Hybrid Formations: Hybrid formations are a mixture of various types and include elements of each. This would imply that a "4-2-3-1 Attacking" may involve pushing the fullbacks higher up the pitch to create width and opportunities for attack.

Optimization of Player Roles:

Find What Fits: Each player has different attributes. Try different roles to see where they fit in. Some player who is probably not good enough to be a traditional striker may perform exceptionally well as a Shadow Striker.

Chemistry: Be aware of player chemistry. Good chemistry players are bound to perform at their best since they can understand the movement of their counterparts.

Tactical Nuances:

Defensive Pressure: Adjust your defensive pressure according to your team's strengths and the opponent's style. A high-pressing approach can help to disallow the opposition from play build-up, whereas a more conservative approach may be used to defend deep and then counter-attack.

Philosophy of Attack: Determine your team's philosophy of attack. Are you going to play a possession-based game or quick counter-attacks? Or is it a blend of both? The formation and the roles chosen for the players need to be in conjunction with the preferred style.

Adapting to Opponents:

Scout Your Opponent: Analyze their tactics and strengths. Find some weaknesses that you may want to try to take advantage of.

Beat Their System: Change your formation and tweak your tactics to nullify your opponent's strengths and make full use of their weaknesses.

Practice and Experiment:

Training Ground: This is where you need to try different formations, tactics, and player roles. 

Online Matches: Apply what you've learned in online matches in order to fine-tune your strategies and gain good experience.

Paying attention to these aspects, countless experimentation will help you find a doctrine that works best for your team and differentiates it from others. Remember, success in FC 25 is determined not by having the best players but by having the right tactics and knowing how to get the most out of them.
