FC25 Recommended Strategy Guide for Day One Team tactic

FC25 is officially open! Are you still unsure how to achieve your first victory? Check out our guide for the answer!

1.Balance tactic

Tactic：

The 442 is a balanced formation, ideal early in the game. Fullbacks stay back to avoid counters, CMs push up for more attack options, and wingers create chances. Strikers stay high for counters and through balls.

Formation: 4-4-2

Build-Up Style:

Players will vary between forward runs and coming short. The team's transition to their in-possession shape will be steady rather than sudden.

Defensive Approach:

This approach gives the defence flexibility on how deep they drop, and which runs they attack.

2. Extremist tactic

Tactic：

I often attack from the left-hand side using my LB on the wingback. However, the formation is pretty balanced with my defensive line not too high on the pitch, set at a 57 line height.

Formation: 4-4-2

Build-Up Style:

Players will vary between forward runs and coming short. The team's transition to their in-possession shape will be steady rather than sudden.

Defensive Approach:

This approach gives the defence flexibility on how deep they drop, and which runs they attack.

3.Risks tactic

Tactic：

This 5-4-1 formation is the best defensively within FC25. With the tactic on ball will act as a 3-4-2-1 with one CM moving into a CAM position with playmaker and attack to have more presence centrally

Formation: 5-4-1

Build-Up Style:

Players will vary between forward runs and coming short. The team's transition to their in-possession shape will be steady rather than sudden.

Defensive Approach:

A riskier approach to defending, applying situational pressure, and adopting a high line that tends not to track opposition runs.
