What's going on everyone, ulit back here with a brand new custom tactics and formation video on FC25! Today, I'm going to show you my 4-4-2 custom tactics and formation. Basically, copy this code and let me know down in the comments if you guys like this kind of videos. Let's just jump into today's video!
Team Selection and Player Roles
In the background, we have the team: Cangle, Marcos, Jente, Vany, Ruder, and F, M, left M, Kuman, SIDS, Val, and Patrick guaro, Gram Hansen as a right midfielder, and Janola and Kilan up top.
- Wing Backs: Both Mandy and Ur fit the 4-4-2 formation very well. They are both very quick and very good in defense.
- Jente: 89 Pace, 80 Defending, and good overall stats.
- Mandy: Very quick and very good in defense. He's one of the more offensive fullbacks in this team.
- Center Backs: Two rapid center backs are super important for the 4-4-2.
- F djk: Sprint speed is really good, but acceleration is not the best.
- Saliba: Acceleration is a bit higher than F djk, and Sprint speed is 91, which is even quicker than vanik. He's very strong when he comes next to Strikers.
- Left and Right Midfielders: Players that are pretty technical are needed here.
- Kuman: A great choice if you don't have the same kind of coins.
- Greme Hansen: Very quick, good at everything, and manages to have 90 dribbling.
- Central Midfielders: The most important part of the whole 4-4-2.
- Patrick guato: Very good budget CM this year. He has the long ball plus play style. He's a maestro in the midfield, very good in terms of passing and buildup play.
- Valde: More box-to-box. He has the power shot play style. He can finish, defend, and is overall a very good CM.
- Strikers:
- Kilan mbappe: Very expensive.
- David ginola: Five-star, five-star. Very hard to replace.
- Alternatives: Victor yakz (10K), Alexander isak (10K), and Inaki Williams.
Tactical Setup
Let's go into team management and the 4-4-2 tactical preset.
- Formation: 4-4-2 flat
- Build Up Play: Balanced
- Defensive Approach: High
- Defensive Style: 61
- Goalkeeper: Sweeper Keeper (because of the roles)
- Right Back: Jente (Wing Back, Balanced)
- Center Backs: B (Defender), Virgin one Dyke (Defender), Antonio rudiger (Normal Defender)
- Left Back: M (Fullback, Wide Defender)
- Wingers: Inside Forward on both sides.
- Central Midfielders:
- Val (Box to Box, Balanced)
- Guaro (Holding)
- Strikers:
- Onia (Advanced Forward)
- Jola (Advanced Forward)
Gameplay Mechanics and Examples
The key to this formation is the long ball play style of Patrick guato.
- L1 Triangle Passing: This is used to trigger runs in behind the defense.
- Example: Pressing L1 to send Jorent on a run, then playing the L1 triangle pass.
- Creating Space: Inside forwards cut inside, opening up space for the strikers.
- Striker Roles: Advanced forwards stay close to the defensive line and make runs in behind.
Final Thoughts
These 4-4-2 tactics are working very well in terms of going forward and scoring goals. If you don't feel comfortable with this formation, try out the 4-5-1 that I posted a few days ago. That formation is really, really good.
