With the removal of the 4-3-2-1 formation in EAFC 25, the new meta formation players are interested in is 4-5-1 (2).
Towards the end of EAFC 24, EA Sports announced the removal of the fan-favorite 4-3-2-1 formation, leading to an uproar. The 4-3-2-1 formation worked pretty well as it allowed players a lot of flexibility. However, with the onset of EAFC 25, players have found another favorable formation, the 4-5-1 (2) formation or 4-5-1 flat formation.
Best Tactics for 4-5-1 (2) Formation
The 4-5-1 (2) formation is similar to the 4-3-2-1 formation from EAFC 24. With the 4-3-2-1 formation, gamers had two center-forwards and a strike. It made the team more compact in the midfield, leading to a higher possession rate.
The 4-5-1 (2) formation has five midfielders, and the wide midfielders can be disguised as center-forwards with specific roles. Let us take a look at the best tactics for the 4-5-1 (2) formation.
Custom Tactics
The primary striker of the team will be playing as the Advanced Forward to make runs inside the box. The wide midfielders will be playing as the Inside Forwards. They will be making plays with the main striker. The wide midfielder’s job is to supply the ball to the striker as well as to be present in the box during crosses.
The right and left center-mids will be playing as Roaming Playmaker and Box-to-Box, respectively. The central midfielder should be playing as a Deep Lying Playmaker. Gamers should set them up a bit defensively, while controlling the flow of play.
Both the full-backs have the Full-back role. They will provide support to the wide midfielders while attacking and then trace back to defend. Similarly, both center-backs have the Defender role. This is to ensure that the team remains compact from the middle to deny goalscoring opportunities. Goalkeepers should be given the Sweeper Keeper role to counter lobbed balls.
