Alright, let's dive into these absolutely scintillating tactics that are going to dominate Ultimate Team in FC25. These custom tactics are the real deal, and they've already helped me climb the ranks. They're so much fun to use, and they're even more broken than the previous ones. Let's get into it!

Formation and General Tactics

The formation you're going to want to use is the 4-4-2 Flat. Forget about the 4-4-1-1 or the 5-4-1, this is where it's at.

  • Build Up Play: Short Passing. This is key. It keeps your players in position, provides more breathing room when attacking, and keeps your midfielders strong in the midfield.
  • Defensive Approach: 70. This is the sweet spot for this formation. Important Note: The game sometimes resets this to 50, so double-check and set it to 70 every time you start a match.

Player Roles and Instructions

Now, let's break down the player roles. This is where the magic happens.

  • Goalkeeper: Traditional goalkeeper role. Balance is fine.
  • Right Back: Wing Back. This prevents your right back from getting out of position. Balance is the instruction.
  • Center Backs: Defender and Defender. Keep it simple. Two quick center backs are crucial in this game.
  • Left Back: Fullback. This gives you a more defensive presence on the left side. Balance is the instruction.
  • Left Midfielder: Inside Forward. This allows your left midfielder to play a bit like a shadow striker. Balance is the instruction.
  • Right Midfielder: Stay wide.
  • Left Center Midfielder: Playmaker. Attack is the instruction.
  • Right Center Midfielder: Holding. Focuses on defending.
  • Strikers: Advanced Forward. Attack is the instruction for both strikers. Having two strikers is the current meta.

These tactics are designed to be balanced, versatile, and incredibly effective. They've been tested and proven to work against all kinds of defenses.
