EA FC 25 (5 Best Formations Of Ultimate Team): How To Utilize Them?
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.

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!

EA FC 25 Winter Wingback 2 ...
EA Sports FC 25 offers players a lot of evolutions, where you can select some improved player cards and add them to your Ultimate Team to gain more honors with their help, eventually. Some of these evolutions require you to spend some coins or points, and some are free. The currently active evolution is the second version of Winter Wingback, which requires you to select some left backs who meet the conditions of a total score of up to 85 points, a speed of up to 93, and up to 8 play styles to complete six different challenges to unlock. Players selected for this evolution will transform into their excellent winter form, and their pace, shooting, passing, and physicality stats have been upgraded to ensure that they can dominate the left half of the field and keep themselves safe. Although this evolution is free, accurately selecting players who are more beneficial to your team will make your exploration in Ultimate Team easier and smoother, so this guide will introduce you to some of the best players in Winter Wingback 2 Evolution, and you can choose accordingly according to your needs. 1. Antonee Robinson (LB) EVO Rating: 86 Because Antonee Robinson is a young player among all the existing players in the current FC 25, he has great potential. With the help of the current Winter Wingback 2 Evolution, Antonee’s potential has been perfectly released-here his passing data has been unprecedentedly improved, and now he can easily overlap and pass accurate passes to the penalty area. In addition to his passing performance, this young talent has shown strong defensive ability since joining Fulham in 2020, so whether you want an offensive defender or a defensive defender, he can meet your requirements. With his help, you can push the court and provide spacing when your team counterattacks to achieve the goal of scoring and winning FC 25 Coins. 2. Wanderson (LB) EVO Rating: 86 Although we mark Wanderson as a left back here, in fact he also has excellent offensive and defensive abilities, which can support him to shine in different positions - you can also place him in the left midfield or forward, which is a rare talent in the entire EA FC 25. After the evolution, his main game style has become more intense, which is more suitable for players who don’t have many FIFA 25 Coins in their budget, because after having a very comprehensive and versatile Wanderson, you may spend less money and investment in other positions. Here is a suggestion for those players with limited budgets, that is, you can participate in some of the giveaway events regularly held in iGMeet Discord, which will allow you to enrich your coin inventory effortlessly. 3. Maxim De Cuyper (LB) EVO Rating: 86 Besides Antonee Robinson, Maxim De Cuyper from Belgium is also a very young and hidden talent worthy of your attention, but De Cuyper will focus more on defensive ability, which can make your defense line very solid. More importantly, his main attribute statistics in his evolution card are all over 80, and coupled with his strong flexibility, he can play in any position on the pitch. In addition to the above advantages, De Cuyper is also very fast on the wing, which combined with his excellent offensive statistics makes it easier for him to launch counterattacks from the back line and pass the ball into the opponent’s yard. These statistics, combined with his very deadly play style will definitely make him one of the most promising young left-backs in FUT 25. 4. Ola Aina (RB) EVO Rating: 86 The previous players can all play as left-backs, while Temitayo Olufisayo Olaoluwa (also known as Ola Aina) from Nigeria is a unique right-back. In this Winter Wingback 2 Evolution, his many attributes have been greatly improved. Currently known are 93 pace, 85 physicality, 84 defending, 84 dribbling, 83 passing, 76 shooting, three-star skill moves, and four-star weak foot accuracy. These attributes and statistics allow him to play the ball anywhere on the field like Maxim De Cuyper or help friendly players score more easily. Most importantly, he has served in many top clubs, such as Chelsea, Hull City, Torino, Fulham, and Nottingham Forest, and has a lot of experience in the field. When you let him join your Ultimate Team, your team is equivalent to having a leader. Ola Aina will use his rich experience on the field to lead your team to a higher level of glory. Also Read: Which Players In EA FC 25 Are Suitable For Attacking Avalanche 1 Evolution? 5. Olga Carmona (LB) EVO Rating: 86 As a very outstanding female player in this Winter Wingback 2 Evolution, Olga Carmona also won the honor of the best choice in this evolution. Her player card shows that she can have a very strong deterrent effect on the left half of the field, making it impossible for the opponent to touch the ball. In addition, her offensive ability as a winger is also amazing. Not only is she able to bring the ball into the penalty area, but she can also shoot accurately and win points with a shooting score of 77 points. Or you can also place her in the defender position, because her defensive statistics in Real Madrid, one of the top five clubs in the game, are also very good. The above are the 5 best player cards you can choose in Winter Wingback 2 Evolution in this FIFA FUT 25. I believe that with your careful training, they will definitely bring you more good news of victory in the game and get more rewards from it. I wish you a happy game!Jan-03-2025
