With the removal of the 4-3-2-1 formation in EAFC 25, gamers have found new meta formations like the 4-4-1-1.
The 4-4-1-1 (2) formation in EAFC 25 utilizes four defenders, five midfielders, and a primary striker. The defense is quite standard with two full-backs and two center-backs. However, the midfield is quite heavily guarded by five midfielders. There are two wide midfielders and two central midfielders. A CAM is positioned ahead of the other midfielders and serves as a secondary striker or a playmaker.
Best Tactics for 4-4-1-1 Formation
The 4-4-1-1 formation offers gamers a balanced setup, allowing them to defend and attack with ease depending on custom tactics. The CAM of the team is responsible for dictating the flow of the play alongside the other two central midfielders. To utilize the full potential of the formation, let us look at the best tactics for the 4-4-1-1 formation.
Custom Tactics
With five midfielders in the formation, gamers need to play a possession-dominant game. They should look to have slow build-ups and utilize all the players in the midfield before creating goal-scoring chances. A good way of attacking is also to utilize the full-backs who could overlap and help while attacking.
The primary striker of the team plays as an Advanced Forward and makes deep runs in the opponent’s half. Gamers should allot the Shadow Striker role to the CAM as they will be playing as the secondary striker of the team. Both the wide midfielders should have the Inside Forward role. This will allow them to provide crosses for the striker as well as the CAM. Central midfielders are given the Deep-Lying Playmaker and Holding roles, due to which one of them can play a bit aggressively while the other plays defensively.
Both full-backs are given the Fullback role and are expected to overlap with the wide midfielders and provide crosses in the box. The center-backs are given the Defender role and play compactly to deny goal-scoring opportunities. The goalkeeper has the Sweeper-Keeper role and should catch on loose balls.
These are the best custom tactics for the 4-4-1-1 formation in EAFC 25. However, gamers can tweak some roles in some positions depending on their play style.
