EA FC 25: How To Deploy 4-4-2 Formation To Succeed In Ultimate Team?

If someone asks you what is the key to a team’s success? I think you will probably answer the players, and indeed, even if you choose other elements such as “tactics” as the answer, these elements still rely on the players to play their role. It is for this reason that not only are various football clubs in real life keen to discover talented newcomers or poach star players from other clubs all year round, but when you play football games in FC 25, you will also want to get more powerful player cards, or improve player attributes by upgrading existing cards, and all of these need to be achieved through EA FC 25 Coins. So, how can you make full use of your coins, or get better player performance with fewer coins? It is definitely a good idea to look forward to various promotions in FIFA 25! In fact, the game will not only launch various normal promotions from time to time but also regularly return some large promotions, such as TOTY not long ago. Road To The Final (RTTF) promotion we are going to introduce to you this time is also a returning promotion, which aims to bring you new card upgrade opportunities based on the real Champions League and Europa League. Based on this, we will introduce you to the currently known information about this RTTF. What Is RTTF? RTTF, the full name of Road To The Final, is an annual promotion held by the game starting from EA Sports FC 19. It will launch a batch of new cards with initial rating upgrade opportunities, and determine what upgrades the cards can get based on the performance of the teams corresponding to these players in the Champions League and Europa League this year. It should be noted that the upgrades provided by RTTF depend on the performance of the team, not the performance of the individual players corresponding to the card. This means that even if a RTTF player does not participate in the game, if his/her club performs well in the game, the player will also receive upgrade rewards, including a series of rating upgrades and skill moves. EA FC 25 RTTF Team 1&2 RTTF first team list is expected to be announced on Friday, March 7, 2025. Before that, you can get some items that will come in handy later through your efforts. As for Team 2, it is expected to be announced a week later than Team 1, that is, on Friday, March 14. In addition, the game may also provide you with the opportunity to obtain some RTTF cards through SBC before the list is announced, but you will not be able to obtain all the cards. FC 25 RTTF Related Mechanism The specific operating mechanism of this Road To The Final, as well as the specific upgrade time of the items, should be determined after all the lists are announced. However, some content has always been fixed, such as any RTTF card upgrade that has the opportunity to upgrade will be carried out after a specific stage ends on Friday night every week, or if some players no longer belong to the original club after RTTF promotion begins, they will not be eligible for upgrades.

FC 25 players, take note! If you missed Ultimate Succession promotion, don’t worry. EA FC 25 is launching a new promotion called Globetrotters. Player cards in this promotion will have some Chemistry buffs, which will be very helpful for Ultimate Team building. To help you prepare for this promotion, this guide will introduce you to the leaked details of this Globetrotters promotion, such as the release date, how the player cards work, and the player list.

It is important to remind you that after this Globetrotters promotion ends, Winter Wildcards event originally scheduled for the holidays will take over in the game, so keep an eye on your schedule for subsequent events. What Will Happen To The Player Cards? According to the existing information, all player cards in this Globetrotters promotion will automatically get two unrelated Chemistry points, as long as they play in their own positions. And after you spend a certain amount of FIFA 25 FUT Coins to obtain these player cards, each player will add 2 Chemistry points to his league, country or even club. This means that if you have two Globetrotters player cards from the same club or country in your starting lineup, they will add 3 Chemistry points to your Ultimate Team. This will also make it easier for your team to accept strong players from unknown leagues, who in previous game content would greatly disrupt the team's balance. Overall, this Globetrotters promotion is a brand new promotion concept in FC 25 Ultimate Team this year, and also is a great opportunity for players who like to choose players who are currently playing in multiple countries or multiple leagues in their starting lineups, as it can bring significant chemistry gains to your team, allowing it to win multiple games and achieve ultimate glory. Player List The players currently leaked in this Globetrotters promotion are very limited. The only confirmed ones are Nicolas Tagliafico and Enzo Fernandez, who play in unknown leagues. But after this event, I believe they will definitely achieve great success for some players’ Ultimate Team.

This will greatly reduce the situation where these players are only used for collection by players instead of real games, to increase the competitiveness and excitement of the game. In addition, since the main purpose of this promotion is to enhance the team cohesion in each player’s Ultimate Team, it is not surprising to see multiple players currently playing in the same league or the same club. However, the appearance of Chelsea Women and Houston Dash on the list is very exciting for players, especially those who are very interested in women’s football leagues. Since FC 24 added female football players, players are more and more willing to try their player cards in the game because they are more competitive in certain competitions. The above are some details about Globetrotters promotion that will be released in EA FC 25.

In EA Sports FC 25, players can start different types of management career modes. Some may prefer to take over a team of former glory and work to reshape it into a top team in the league. For other players who want to directly control one of the top teams in the world, career mode allows them to choose to manage eight five-star teams, each of which provides a unique career mode experience. Here is a detailed ranking of them. 8. Lombardia FC (Inter) Country: Italy League: Serie A Enilive Starting Transfer Budget: $75.8 million Lombardia FC, also known as Inter. They successfully won Serie A in the 2023-2024 season and proved themselves to be a strong team. Although the team has excellent players like Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella. However, their lineup is not as interesting to use as other five-star teams. In addition, players can only play as Lombardia FC in EA FC 25. It’s even more regrettable that the jersey colors in the game are not Inter’s iconic black and blue stripes. 7. Manchester City Country: England League: Premier League Starting Transfer Budget: $247 million Manchester City is a Premier League powerhouse with some of the highest-rated players in the game. They have won six titles in the last seven seasons, and it doesn’t look like their dominance will be weakened anytime soon. It’s difficult to replicate Pep Guardiola’s tactical style in FIFA 25, but it’s still fun to charge forward with Haaland or build up the attack with De Bruyne. Since Manchester City not only has a great team, but their starting transfer budget also exceeds other five-star teams, it will be easy to win with Manchester City. 6. FC Bayern Munchen Country: Germany League: Bundesliga Starting Transfer Budget: $110 million Bayern Munchen lost Bundesliga to Leverkusen in the 2023-2024 season. Therefore, their first task is to regain the league title and consolidate their dominance in German football. This should not be difficult for them, as they have a strong team and strong financial resources. Even if Leverkusen gives you trouble in the early season, you can build a team that can dominate the game. It is even possible to weaken the opponent by getting Leverkusen’s best players using FUT 25 Coins. 5. Real Madrid Country: Spain League: La Liga EA Sports Starting Transfer Budget: $133.2 million Managing Real Madrid in career mode may feel relatively easy, as the roster they have is enough to win the game easily. In addition, they have ample funds and a board with a lenient attitude towards the use of young players. Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr are two of the fastest players in the game. Besides this, there are several young superstars on the team, such as Endrick and Arda Gular, who have the potential to become the best players in the world. Developing these young players into top stars in the game is very satisfying. 4. Liverpool Country: England League: Premier League Starting Transfer Budget: $115 million The team lineup in EA Sports FC 25 is very similar to EA Sports FC 24, with only Federico Chiesa signed. But it is still a lot of fun to manage Reds, as they have some exciting players, such as Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. They are also a fun challenge, and the goal is to dethrone Man City, a top team, from the throne. In addition, if you want to create a new era of Liverpool’s dominance, it will not be easy, because several of their best players are old, and you have to build a team for the future. 3. Arsenal Country: England League: Premier League Starting Transfer Budget: $136.6 million Arsenal has had relatively little success in recent years. They have failed to win any Premier League or Champions League since 2004. Arsenal has a strong team with defensive players like Declan Rice, William Saliba, and Gabriel providing a solid foundation. However, you may need to strengthen your attacking lineup. 2. Leverkusen Country: Germany League: Bundesliga Starting Transfer Budget: $64.4 million Leverkusen has had a great season in the 2023-2024 season. They have only lost one game in all competitions, which gives them a five-star rating. Since Bayern Munich is usually the dominant team in Germany, they will probably regain the title, so it remains to be seen whether they can continue this success in Career Mode. Leverkusen has some excellent players. But they are still not as strong as Bayern, and their transfer budget will not be as abundant as Bayern in your first season. Therefore, even if they are unbeaten in the last season and become a five-star team, they still face certain challenges. 1. FC Barcelona Country: Spain League: La Liga EA Sports Starting Transfer Budget: $89.5 million Barcelona has faced financial difficulties in recent years, so when managing the team in career mode, the transfer budget is not as abundant as other big teams, and the board of directors has high expectations for finances and results. They want managers to lead the team to win games, manage finances properly, and develop young players. You have some outstanding young players, and you can try to develop them into top stars. Junior players such as Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Balde, and Pau Cubarsi have the potential to become the best in the game. In short, no matter which team you choose, players will experience unique career challenges. To make it easier to deal with these challenges, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, which often releases product giveaway information, and you can also discuss game strategies with other players in the discord group.
