This year’s FC 25 Team of the Season is approaching, and if you are playing Ultimate Team, this event is definitely not to be missed. This is your chance to earn a lot of FIFA 25 Coins and get some high-rated player cards! In this guide, we will explain how to prepare for the biggest promotion of the year, so that you can collect all the blue cards as quickly as possible, pile up fodder like crazy, and grind easier than others. Without further ado, let’s get started! How To Vote? First of all, before we officially start, we have to understand the voting mechanism of the annual Team of the Season event. As in previous years, FC 25 players can vote for the best players from different national men’s and women’s leagues. However, if you want to vote for league TOTS in EA FC 25, you must submit your selections through the official EA Sports FC TOTS website once voting is open for each league in both the men’s and women’s categories. 1. Visit EA Sports FC 25 TOTS website once league voting is open. 2. Select the league you want to vote for. 3. Browse the list of nominees and assemble your TOTS team. 4. Select your favorite players and drag them to the appropriate positions to fill out the starting lineup. 5. Agree to EA Terms and Conditions. 6. Click “Submit Vote”. Keep in mind that the voting process is the same for each league, but they all have designated voting and release dates, as follows: Ligue 1 - April 25 Eredivisie - April 25 Arkema Premier League - April 25 EFL Combined - May 2 BWSL - May 2 Premier League - May 2 Bundesliga - May 9 Super Lig - May 9 Frauen Bundesliga - May 9 Serie A - May 16 Europe Select - May 16 NWSL - May 16 LaLiga - May 23 Liga Portugal - May 23 Liga F - May 23 Saudi Pro - May 30 MLS - May 30 Rest of World - May 30 Ultimate - June 6 Please vote for your favorite league players in time, as this will affect the player cards you can get later. How To Prepare? First up, on April 18th, everything kicks off with TOTS Warm Up series and a brand new promotion called Invincibles. But this is probably EA’s way of getting you excited and draining your bankroll before Team of the Season arrives. During this time, you’ll see some nice players appear in Team of the Week (TOTW) player packs, like 89 Mohamed Salah or Virgil van Dijk, as well as a ton of daily SBCs and objectives that drop juicy packs as rewards. But don’t be fooled, because the real Team of the Season content won’t be released until April 25th, when community TOTS squads go live and the real grind begins. Saving Your Packs Now, let’s talk about pack saving. You need to save every pack of value from now on. You need to save 85+ rated packs from Division Rivals and Champions Mode and Squad Battles, as well as daily upgrade SBC rewards (like 81+ player picks). Avoid opening any player packs above 80 unless you are chasing Team of the Week. Also, here’s a pro tip: wait until the league TOTS you are targeting go live before opening these packs, which means if you want Premier League Team of the Season, hold on to your packs until May 2nd. That way, you don’t need to spend a ton of coins stacking packs after the event goes live. Ways To Get More Packs Next, we’ll focus on efficient ways to get these packs, and the key way is league SBCs & upgrades. Step 1: Clean up your club with player picks above 81 or above 85. Step 2: Save fodder from Major League and use for league SBCs. Step 3: Repeat to complete league SBCs, then upgrade your SBCs with duplicate players and recycle everything. This method allows you to build a large number of packs while keeping your FC 25 coin balance safe. Prepare Evolutions And Accumulate Resources Don’t neglect Evolutions, they are free and often give great upgrades. At the same time, it is also crucial to complete daily goals in time to unlock milestones and repeatable SBCs, and pack rewards while you are grinding matches. For example, if EA drops an 83+ x10 Rare Players Pack for Premier League, you will want to be ready with fodder and goals. At this point, Team of the Week cards finally become important again, because if you have an 84+Rated SBC Squad this week, EA may require them for repeatable upgrades and daily SBCs. Once TOTS goes live, these cards will be worth a lot of money. Conclusion Finally, let’s wrap up with some golden rules. Your first goal now is to save the 81+ packs you can currently get, and then open them once the league TOTS you want goes live. While doing this, don’t forget to keep your club stocked with 83 to 87 rated players. Also, try to avoid using your SBCs during the TOTS Warm-Up period unless the player is a must-have. It is recommended that you prioritize Evolutions as they are free power-ups. Most importantly, stay disciplined so that when TOTS drop, you are always ready to build your dream lineup.

Among 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. Also Read: How To Choose The Right Players And Vote In EA FC 25 TOTY? 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 iGMeet Discord for a chance to share 2M coins with other players! Good luck!

Formations and tactics serve as two vital elements in EA Sports FC 25. Trying to pick the best players in the game is important, but only well-thought-out tactics and reasonable player position arrangements can show their true talent. Meta and dynamic elements in FC 25 differ from previous games, which means you need to persistently adapt and tweak your tactics to deal with various situations on the field in a timely manner. The potential of the players, along with reasonable position arrangements, will definitely help you claim the victory in Champions and Division Rivals. This article outlines the nine best formations in FIFA 25. But they are not fixed answers. Only by constantly adjusting and improving in the game can you find the most suitable formations. After all, different players will have different focuses. The following ranking considers the factors of balance, overpowered nature, and player dependency. Among them, balance refers to the balance between the best formation in defense and attack, overpowered nature is measured by whether it is powerful, and player dependency mainly takes into account that the best formation should be applicable to any player. After all, relying only on those powerful players is a taboo in the game. But high-rated players do have a significant advantage, and you can spend EA FC 25 Coins to embrace those overwhelming players who you are dreamed of. 9. 4-2-1-3 First of all, it should be clarified that although 4-2-1-3 has not been a common formation for many years, it is completely applicable to EA FC 25. It defends in a 4-2-1-3 but transfer to common yet superb 3-3-3-1, that is, one midfielder retreats to defend and the full-backs advance to the midfield. 4-2-1-3 formation echoes the concept of all-out attack and defense, and embodies the philosophy of football. 8. 4-3-2-1 4-3-2-1 has always been one of the most popular formations in EA series. It features a left forward and a right forward who can switch to attacking midfield. It bears the outlook of Christmas Tree and is a very popular and entertaining formation. In terms of balance, 4-3-2-1 gives much emphasis on attacking options, which can be employed in Division Rivals and Champions easily. 7. 4-3-3 (4) 4-3-3 (4) is undoubtedly one of the most widely used formations in recent years, because the formation is very offensive and the lack of defensive midfielders gives people a sense of recklessness. It is particularly suitable for teams that are trapped in desperate situations and want to counterattack. When the attacking midfielder is not performing well, the full-backs can stay on the wing or cut into the middle to provide support. 6. 4-2-2-2 Superficially speaking, 4-2-2-2 is forever feasible. Because it obviously lacks width. And it is difficult to find the connection between defense and attack. Although the formation design obviously goes against normal logic, it is still very popular. In the aspect of defence, this formation is relatively safe, but the absence of central midfielder can be a hindrance. 5. 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow is one of the strongest formations in the game, and with the introduction of new players, this formation has been taken to a new level. It is a narrow formation, aimed at providing tons of control and a plethora of passing options. Very safe and powerful. With full-backs providing Width support, along with two out-and-out strikers, the 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow has become the most “meta” option this year. 4. 4-5-1 (2) 4-5-1 (2) emphasizes defensive solidity. In fact, in a deeper analysis, it mimics 4-3-2-1. With the support of three central midfielders, you can always better control the tempo of the game and allow two wingers to drive forward freely. Combining this with a typical back-line grants you a system without the disadvantages. Whether it’s the best players in the world or those struggling silvers, this formation works for them all. 3. 4-4-2 4-4-2 serves as a beginning of tactical football, and establishes its name by its traditional advantages. This doesn’t mean it’s hard to stand out. After all, classic and innovative don’t conflict with each other. It consists of a standard back line, two central midfielders, two wingers and two strikers, supporting you to have an option in every area of ​​the pitch. It can also be adjusted according to the quality of the players. 2. 4-2-3-1 4-2-3-1 won’t disappoint you in any EA football game. As the core of the series, it features the use of two defensive midfielders and three attacking midfielders, allowing players around the world to dominate the field. And it has extremely strong defensive features, such as full-backs commonly stay back. 1. 5-4-1 Finally, 5-4-1 is rated as the best formation in EA FC 25. It has both defensive and offensive capabilities. Every player can sweat on the field. The above are the 9 most recommended Formations in EA FC 25.
