The theme of Grassroot Greats event is to pay tribute to the classics, focusing on those players who have left a deep mark in the history of Ultimate Team. These players may not be top stars in reality, but because of their super attributes in the game, such as Race, shooting or physical advantages, they have become the king of cost-effectiveness or even the most popular players in the player’s lineup. For example, Gervinho, Doumbia, Ibarbo of Roma trio in FIFA 15 or Alexander Esswein in FIFA 13 have become players’ nightmares with their low prices and amazing performance. Leaked Players Although EA has not yet officially announced the complete list, multiple leaks have revealed some core players and card design directions. Even when the official promotional video for Grassroot Greats was released in January, a leaked list was leaked: Doumbia Gervinho Ibarbo Franz Beckenbauer Diego Maradona Alexis Mac Allister Juninho Ian Wright Roberto Baggio Foudy Didier Drogba Jaap Stam Bruno Fernandes This list was leaked too early and may be different from the real list. But Diego Maradona is definitely on the list for this event. Because he is the cover character this time. As early as 2022, EA had to remove Diego Maradona from FIFA 22 due to some legal issues. His 91, 95 and 97 cards were all removed from Ultimate Team. Diego Maradona’s return is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of this event. His card may be 96 OVR Icon.

EA Sports FC 25 is a popular game that players around the world compete in. To achieve the best performance in Division Rivals and Champions, players need to constantly optimize their team and adopt effective tactics, especially in Ultimate Team mode. The 4-3-2-1 formation is favored for its excellent midfield control ability, and it has remained effective despite the change from the traditional forward configuration to a double attacking midfield. Below is a summary of the recommended 4-3-2-1 tactics in EA FC 25. Tactics Build-up Style: Balanced Defensive Approach: Balanced In FC 25, there is no longer any need to adjust the number of “players in the box” or the width of the team. Although the player roles have become more complex to be closer to reality, the game has simplified the operation and only requires adjusting the build-up style and defensive approach. It is recommended to use a ‘balanced’ build-up style instead of ‘counter’ or ‘short passes’, so that players can flexibly switch between forward runs and short passes, ensuring that the team’s transition to a possession shape is smooth and not out of control. Additionally, defensive strategies should be “balanced” to ensure they can defend deep when necessary, or press forward quickly when looking to attack. This flexibility is essential for a 4-3-2-1 formation that emphasizes midfield control to avoid appearing vulnerable in defense. It is recommended to set the height line between 60 and 70, which is a safer option. Settings above 70 may bring unnecessary risks. Player Roles Perfecting player roles is one key to victory. In a 4-3-2-1 formation, there are a variety of tactics to choose from, but we particularly recommend the following. Goalkeeper: Defending, Goalkeeper Centre-Backs: Defender, Defend Right-Back: Full-Back, Balanced Left-Back: Full-Back, Defend Left Central Midfielder: Deep Lying Playmaker, Defend Right Central Midfielder: Box-to-Box, Balanced Central Midfielder: Holding, Defend Right Attacking Playmaker: Shadow Striker, Attack Left Attacking Playmaker: Playmaker, Roaming Striker: Target Forward, Balanced Defensive Player Roles In an attack-oriented tactic, the 4-3-2-1 formation may seem traditional. If you want to have an active player between the sticks, consider using a “sweeper keeper”, but it is risky. The traditional goalkeeper, as the last line of defense, rarely gets involved in the attack, is ideal for this formation. The two centre-backs should adopt the ‘defender’ and ‘defend’ roles, focusing on defending rather than advancing. Although they can be manually controlled to attack from the back, AI ​​will ensure that they are in the correct position when defending. On either side of the formation, the full-back can be placed in the ‘full-back’ and ‘balanced’ or ‘full-back’ and ‘defend’ positions. The full-back on ‘defend’ stays in the back when out of possession, and moves inside to form a back three when in possession. The ‘balanced’ full-back has more freedom to advance, but his primary responsibility is still to defend. While this can lead to a slightly asymmetrical team, it can increase defensive security. Midfield Player Roles In a 4-3-2-1 formation, the three midfield players play different roles, linking the defence and attack. The most critical are the ‘holding’ and ‘defend’ midfielders, similar to Rodri, who hold the defensive line and cover the field extensively, while also being the launch point for attack. The right midfielder is responsible for ‘box-to-box’ and ‘balanced’, and is the key link, constantly running and participating in the transition between attack and defense. On the left side of the midfield three, you need a ‘deep-lying playmaker’ who focuses on ‘defense’, planning attacks from the back and blocking passing routes. In front are two playmakers - one is a ‘shadow striker’ on ‘attack’, and the other is a ‘playmaker’ and ‘roaming’. They will act as creative outlets, acting as the ‘creative fulcrum’ of the midfield, responsible for creating attacking spaces and opportunities. Therefore, no matter how many FIFA 25 Coins you spend, you must grab the players who meet the requirements as soon as you can pick them up. Although they are rarely involved in defense, the presence of the three midfield players makes up for this. The ‘shadow striker’ activities in the space behind the striker are another way to attack. Attacking Player Roles In the 4-3-2-1 formation, a single attacker can be supported by three creative channels. As a ‘balanced’ ‘target forward’, it is necessary to be physically strong to control the ball, protect the ball and lead the attack, while relying on crosses and passes. They also need to drop off the defence and pass the ball to their teammates. Also Read: FC 25 Coins Giveaways Players To Use A 4-3-2-1 formation requires players with speed, especially in the final third. EA Sports FC 25 has ranked the best players, including the best centre-backs and the best value wingers. You need a striker with speed who can break defences, but also can hold the ball. Athletic Bilbao striker Inaki Williams is an affordable option, with experience in a number of positions up front. To support the striker, you need two attacking midfielders who are creative and a threat. Moussa Diaby or Ousmane Dembélé are ideal, although they are not pure playmakers, but they can fill that role. Defensively, you need players with speed who can hold the line easily. The likes of Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji and Micky van de Ven can do this. They are naturally fast and cannot be easily chased. Hopefully, these tips will help you achieve better performance in EA Sports FC 25 and enjoy the fun of competition!

As one of the most competitive games, EA Sports FC 25 is bound with a variety of formations, be it the previous formations or innovative one. For EA series enthusiasts, winning the game is the most important thing, which is also the essence of competitive sports game series. It is formidable to create a new set of tactics for most players. The most sensible way is to constantly adjust the existing excellent formation to meet the needs of the team. If the players in your team are not be categorized as the best players, or the focus of the entire team is mainly on defense, then it is recommended to try 5-4-1 formation. Of course, if you have the best players in the world, then this formation will also pose an offensive threat. Build-Up Style FC 25 offers you three options - Balanced, Counter and Short Passes for your build-up style. For 5-4-1 formation, the most apposite option comes to Balanced, which will grant you the control of the match. Player Roles Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Left-Back: Wing-back, Balanced Centre-Backs: Defender, Defend Right-Back: Wing-back, Balanced Left Central-Midfielder: Playmaker, Roaming Right Central-Midfielder: Holding, Defend Right Midfielder: Inside Forward, Balanced Left Midfielder: Inside Forward, Attack Striker: Advanced Forward, Complete The above player’s position allocation is not fixed. You are available to do some tweaks based on the practical situation. Defense Player Roles In 5-4-1 formation, goalkeepers will be the foundation of the entire team. goalkeepers features the security and reliability in FIFA 25. They will always stay between the goalposts unless called upon at the last minute. Then all three central defenders should be set to “Defender” and “Defend” roles. At the same time, they can also attack from the back. This player distribution undoubtedly strengthens the stability and security of the entire team. Full-backs take on part of the attacking tasks and support some much-needed width. Set your left-back and right-back as “Full-back” and “Balance” respectively to support them to advance forward to support the attack and then return to the defensive position. And you can also leave them in the front court to defend when needed if you unfortunately lose the control of the ball. This versatility of players is the perfect epitome to show the advantages of 5-4-1 formation. Midfield Player Roles In FC 25, a vigorous defense is important, but so is the midfield, which serves as the channel to break up the attack while also being able to continuously transfer the ball to the front court. One of your midfielders should be set up in the “Holding” and “Defend” roles to promise the stability of midfield and break down attacks of your rivalries. During attack, the midfielder can also protect the back line and cover counterattacks. Midfielders will lock down the penalty area to grant their partners more freedom to play in the field. Midfielders may be out of position during attack, and their partners can fill in to keep the formation intact. In the aspects of flank, your players should be sent “Inside Forward” and “Attack” to create the chance for them to cut in from the flank and attack. The best players for this position are those who are fast and can break through defenders. You can refer to the player’s stats and keep an eye on those players with fastest speed in FC 25, or by devoting some FIFA 25 Coins to enhance the performance of your players. Attacking Player Roles In a 5-4-1 formation, the striker is the attacker and is mainly focused on gaining points for the entire team. The striker can also move freely around the field when necessary. So be sure to choose players with high ratings in all aspects to take on this key role. Players Recommended Since 5-4-1 formation emphasizes defense. So in terms of defense, Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji and Micky van de Ven can be selected to take the responsibility for central defenders. The midfield requires a high level of comprehensive ability from the players. So Marcos Llorente and Eduardo Camavinga with nice overall stats are recommended. Of course, if you are eligible to have those excellent players with highest rate in FIFA 25, then consider Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland, who will definitely give you an upper hand in the game. But not everyone has such a big budget, so if you are desperate for a cheap star who can quickly shine in the 5-4-1 formation, then consider Ademola Lookman and Inaki Williams with amazing speed advantage. As one of the most popular formations, the 5-4-1 formation can definitely lead your team to win the game with a little adjustment and equipped with the right players.

As a popular football simulation game, FC 25 has added a lot of new game content and mechanisms for Players to play after Update in order to give back to Players better. The most distinctive and innovative one is undoubtedly Career Mode. As a new game mode of EA FC 25, Career Mode not only provides a simple gameplay, but in fact it can be said that it is a small in-game system that brings a more holistic experience to Players. Therefore, this also means that although Players can get more FUT 25 Coins by playing this Mode, there is also more game information and mechanism content to understand. Based on this, we will introduce you to Teams worth choosing in Career Mode and the related Team gameplay. How To Choose A Team In Career Mode? With the addition of women’s Teams, the number of Teams in EA FC 25 can be said to have reached an unprecedented level of richness. Therefore, it will become more difficult for Players to choose a Team that is strong enough for their own game style in Career Mode. In order to let you experience the feeling of leading Team to win the game in Career Mode more quickly, the following are the five Teams we recommend for you. 1. Coventry City As one of the three Championship clubs added to the game this year, Coventry City can be said to be your ideal choice when picking a Team, especially if you want to strive for outstanding performance in Prem, this Team is definitely worth having. Among Teams of the same Level, Coventry City’s Transfer Budget makes it competitive, and Board Expectations are low, meaning a play-off push in Season one will go down a treat. 2. San Diego Wave As one of the women’s Teams introduced, San Diego Wave not only has beautiful jerseys and pink dresses in Career Mode, but more importantly, their Transfer Budget is also very good. In addition, they have many strong Players, including five Players rated 80 or above, such as Canadian Keeper Kailen Sheridan and Aussie CDM Emily van Egmond. 3. Napoli After two years of exclusive use of other games, this Italian Team has been fully licensed again this year, making it a competitive Team in Career Mode. In particular, Team’s powerful Striker Romelu Lukaku has attracted many Players. In addition, Napoli has signed many new Players with powerful strength this summer, such as Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay. Potential Serie A glory awaits. 4. Paris St Germain If you have enough FC 25 Coins and want to win League at a Canter without any effort, you can try to use Paris St Germain Team. Because there are many talented Players including Ousmane Dembélé, Gigi Donnarumma and Marquinhos. There is no doubt that many well-known and powerful Players make Paris St Germain itself valuable, but if all these Players are in your Team, you will definitely stand out from all Players participating in the game. 5. Bromley Because of the relatively low Transfer Budget, Bromley has its own appeal. However, its board expectations are also low, so Players will have more freedom when building a Team. You can gradually reorganize and manage Team by introducing some group Players in order to lead Team to achieve excellent results in 2027-28 Season. About Tactical Presets After you choose Team you want in the game, the next thing to do is to choose the appropriate Tactical Presets in Managerial Tasks list. The game will provide you with 7 Tactical Presets templates. No matter which one you choose, your Team will be adjusted in tactical details according to the characteristics of the template itself. Among them, Standard is a relatively balanced and comprehensive template, with no obvious advantages or disadvantages, and will notice the overall situation more. Wing Play, on the other hand, focuses on your Wingers. While Tiki Taka is all about possession-based short passing. Gegenpressing, meanwhile, revolves around the high press and direct Attacking. Park The Bus is a more defensive-focused strategy, while Counter Attack lets your Team sit back and be ready to Attack at any time. Kick and Rush is more of a first-line strategy, relying on Team’s physicality to perform. After choosing the right Tactical Presets for your needs, you can hire Coaches to implement your chosen philosophy. However, since you can only give a fixed salary to your Coaches in the game, please consider carefully and choose the most suitable Coach. Each Coach can receive a five-star rating in different areas of the selected category, including Attacking, Midfield, Defending, and Goalkeeper. The better they perform, the greater the impact on the Player’s attributes throughout Season. If you are going to use them, just make sure Coach you choose matches your Tactical Presets and puts them in the corresponding category to maximize their effectiveness. The above are some guidelines for selecting Teams and Tactical Presets in EA FC 25 Career Mode. If you want to learn more about FIFA 25, you can enter iGMeet Discord.
