Alright boys, let's dive into some tactics! This FC is a different beast, and I'm here to break down how I'm navigating this slower, more defensive gameplay. It feels like EA has really put the brakes on the sprint button, and it's making attacking a real challenge. So, I'm going to share the tactics that have been working for me, and then we'll check out some gameplay highlights.
Team Selection and Player Roles
First things first, let's talk about the team. This year, it's all about two things:
- Player Chemistry: Make sure your players are at least "base" chemistry. Avoid the yellow exclamation points, as they'll play way worse.
- Pace is King: Pace is absolutely crucial this year.
My current team is built around a 4-4-2 formation. Here's the breakdown:
- Goalkeeper: (Not mentioned in the transcript)
- Defenders: Pace is key here. My center backs are fast, and the fullbacks are solid.
- Midfield: I've got a good defensive mid who can also get forward. My box-to-box midfielder is crucial for linking play.
- Attackers: This is where the magic happens. I'm using two fast and agile wingers and two rapid strikers.
Here's a closer look at the player roles:
- Strikers:
- Advanced Forward: This player is set to "Attack"
- False Nine: This player is set to "Build Up"
- Wingers:
- Winger: Set to "Balanced" or "Inside Forward"
- Fullbacks:
- Fullback: Set to "Defend"
- Wing Back:
- Wing Back: Set to "Balanced"
Tactical Setup: 4-4-2 Formation
This year, it's all about a slower, more methodical build-up. These tactics are designed to help you get the ball up the pitch and create chances.
- Formation: 4-4-2
- Overall Strategy: Balanced
- Offensive Strategy: Balanced
This setup is all about overloading the left side with a good passing left center mid on a box-to-box role. This creates an overload, allowing you to move the ball quickly.
- Attacking Movement: The False Nine drops off, creating space for the wingers and box-to-box midfielders to get into the box.
Gameplay Highlights
You'll see these tactics in action in the gameplay highlights. You'll see how I'm using the wingers to stretch the play, the strikers to get in behind, and the midfielders to control the tempo.
Final Thoughts
This year's game is all about tactics. You've got to be smart, patient, and adapt to the slower pace. Remember, focus on players with good passing in the middle and pace and agility up top.
