Source: IGGMAmong all game categories, sports games may receive relatively less attention than popular MMORPGs or relaxing board games, but even under such a premise, FC 25 still strives to occupy a place in the game market.
As the most well-known and most comprehensive football-themed video simulation game, EA Sports FC 25 can provide you with a variety of virtual football gameplay that you may not have imagined, and even allows you to use FIFA 25 Coins to add those famous stars to your FC 25 team! Among all the gameplays, Ultimate Team is a more classic one.
The operating mechanism of Ultimate Team is to let you choose your favorite players from thousands of players to form your own fantasy team, and then allow you to lead your team to compete with other players in the community, or play single-player games.
Obviously, facing the massive number of players and complicated competition rules in Ultimate Team mode, it may be difficult for you to form a competitive team. And after forming a team, if you want to win the game, you also need to arrange a suitable formation for the team so that your players can give full play to their unique advantages in their own positions.
There are many formations available in EA FC 25, some of which can allow your players to better maintain possession of the ball, while others can improve the defensive stability of the team. Based on this, we will introduce you to 5 formations suitable for Ultimate Team mode.
1. 4-4-2 (Flat)
As one of the most classic game formations in FIFA 25, 4-4-2 also reflects the traditional characteristics of football games to some extent. When this formation is used in official games, it can help your players to better balance the defensive stability and offensive width, so that the team can make quick transitions and complete the game more smoothly.
Whether you can place the most suitable players in a specific position determines whether you can win. The 4-4-2 formation not only allows your two forwards to create dynamic offensive actions in the frontcourt, but also allows them to adjust to each other to maximize their role. In addition, one of two elite midfielders can fill the gap between the back line and the forwards, and the other can be used by you to stop any counterattacks from the opponent.
2. 4-2-4
As one evolution of 4-4-2, this formation has once again derived several variations of its own, but considering that the wing attack method in this year’s FIFA 25 will be more effective, 4-2-4 is still the best choice among all the variations. By allowing two fast wingers to cooperate with two forwards on the court, they can effectively overwhelm the opponent’s defense and put great pressure on the opponent at the critical moment of the game.
Although 4-2-4 has a strong offensive threat to your opponent’s team, it also lacks sufficient defensive stability. Because your wingers are required to push forward by 4-2-4, the two midfielders must defend the center of the court alone. Of course, high risk also means high reward. If you are in urgent need of goals and are confident in your players’ defensive ability, 4-2-4 is completely worth adopting.
3. 4-3-3 (4)
If you’ve been playing FC 25 for any length of time, you’ll know that this formation has always been a popular one, as it gives you a lot of room to maneuver your team. Of the four variations available, the best is definitely the final version, the 4-3-3 (4), which is well balanced and gives your players room to maneuver in all areas of the pitch.
The first thing worth noting is the combination of three midfielders and three forwards, which is great both defensively and offensively: by having the midfield trio work together to pass the ball to the wingers, who can then open up space for the teammates and create space for the forwards to score. Whatever type of players you’ve acquired with your FUT 25 Coins, and whether you prefer a possession-based or counter-attacking style, the 4-3-3 (4) formation will have you covered.
4. 4-3-2-1
The 4-3-2-1 is a big change from previous versions, with two CAMs and a forward replacing the classic three forwards. Although it takes a little extra time to get used to it, it is a very powerful formation, especially if you have the right players in the right roles.

The most striking thing about the 4-3-2-1 is its incredible attacking ability, with the full-backs providing more space and the midfielders able to control the middle of the pitch. However, if you don’t have a defensive midfielder and an attacking full-back, your defense will be insufficient. However, some well-rounded players should be able to help you control other positions on the pitch through this formation, allowing you to win games in the frontcourt.
5. 4-1-2-1-2 (Narrow)
This is a very beautiful EA Sports FC 25 narrow formation that helps you focus on controlling the center of the pitch by having four midfielders form a diamond core to develop quick passing and ball possession. With such a solid midfield lineup, your full-backs can go all the way forward and provide overlapping runs on the flanks, while the two forwards can coordinate attacks in the penalty area.
Besides good attacking power, 4-1-2-1-2 (Narrow) is also good defensively because it allows your center backs to drop back to the back line without full backs. Just have your players watch out for counterattacks from the wider areas of the pitch. But if you find this difficult, it’s better to have your full backs drop deeper and then play directly through the midfield.
No matter what formation you choose, reliable players are essential, but if you are short of coins to exchange for players, I suggest you join FC 25 Coins giveaway event currently being held on IGGM Discord for a chance to share 2M coins with other players! Good luck!
