Alright, let's dive into the 4213, the most meta, broken, overpowered formation on FC25! I'm going to break down the custom tactics for you in a slightly different way this time. I'll kick things off with some gameplay clips from my 15-0 Rank 1 weekend league run. Then, we'll get into the nitty-gritty of the custom tactics.
Gameplay Analysis
First, let's take a look at how the 4213 works in action. You'll see how I use it to dominate.
- Playing Through the Lines: Watch how I play through my CDMs into the CAM, then out wide to the left winger, and finally into the striker. It's a beautiful, flowing attack.
- Quick Transitions: Notice how quickly we win the ball back, even deep in our own half. The key is to get the ball up to the wingers fast.
- Wing Play Mastery: The 4213 thrives on wing play. The CAM, left winger, and right winger are always there for the extra pass. Don't be afraid to recycle the ball if the initial option isn't there.
- Inside Forwards: The inside forwards are crucial. They cut inside, creating space and opportunities.
Custom Tactics Breakdown
Now, let's get into the custom tactics. The code will be in the top pinned comment and at the end of the video, so you can copy it directly.
Tactical Preset
- Custom: Make sure you're on the custom tactical preset.
Build Up Play
- Build Up Style:
- Balanced: This is what I use. It's reliable and allows for a good mix of possession and quick attacks.
- Counter: This is a viable option if you struggle defensively. However, be warned that your players can sometimes run away from you when you get the ball.
Defensive Approach
- Defensive Approach:
- High: I use high pressure with a 70 line height. The two CDMs provide a great shield, allowing for a more aggressive press. I like to have fun and score goals, so this suits my style.
- Balanced: If high pressure is too much, go with balanced and a 50 line height.
Player Instructions
- Striker:
- Advanced Forward: This is a must. They make runs towards the left and right side of the center backs.
- Attack: Focus on attack.
- Left Winger & Right Winger:
- Inside Forward: This is the key to the formation.
- Roaming: This is a game-changer. They get more involved in the buildup, drift inwards, and drop a little deeper, almost like a number 10. It's great for creating passing options.
- CAM:
- Playmaker: This is non-negotiable. The CAM is the most important player in the 4213. They need to sit in that number 10 position, drift wide, and find pockets of space.
- Balanced: Focus on balanced.
- CDMs:
- Deep Line Playmaker: This is what I use. It worked perfectly for me in my 15-0 run.
- Defend: Focus on defend.
- Build Up: If you're struggling to create opportunities, you can try build up.
- Left Back:
- Fullback: They'll get forward slightly but won't overlap a lot.
- Balanced: Focus on balanced.
- Center Backs:
- Defender: Focus on defender.
- Defend: Focus on defend.
- Right Back:
- Fullback:
- Defend: This is important. The left back has more freedom to attack, while the right back stays back to shield the defense.
- Goalkeeper:
- Goalkeeper:
- Balanced: Focus on balanced.
That's the 4213 custom tactics. Remember to use the code to copy my settings.
