There are three things players need to have success in Fut Champions, a great squad, a good formation, and a strong mental.
We have already gone over the best Fut Champions squads, and mental strength is something players need to develop by themselves. However, we can help users when it comes to the best formations in the game.
Best Fut Champions in FC 25
In this article, we will go over the three best formations in FC 25. These formations are solid defensively, provide players with a lot of different options in the final third, and can help players mascarade some of their weaknesses.
The formations we will touch on are the 4-2-1-3, 5-4-1, and 4-2-4. All of them excel at different things and are great in specific situations, such as holding a lead, or when players desperately need to score.
So let's take a look at these formations, their player roles, and what makes them special.
4-2-1-3
The 4-2-1-3 is one of the best formations in the game, as it's incredibly strong defensively, and provides players with a lot of counterattack opportunities.
With this tactic, players will defend in a line of six, as both defensive midfielders will drop between the center-backs. This makes it very hard for opponents to break the defense, and get clear goal-scoring opportunities.
If opponents try a riskier pass, there is a good chance they lose the ball and are exposed to a quick counterattack. It's a formation that forces opponents to be disciplined with their passing, and aware of counterattack.
The build-up style for this formation should be set at counter and the defensive approach at high, with the line height being between 60 and 70.
5-4-1
Without a doubt, one of the most hated formations in FC 25, 5-4-1 is also one of the most reliable, especially for players who struggle with defending.
The five at the back, plus the two midfielders who will also help on defense, make breaking down this defensive formation very hard and extremely frustrating.
Opponents will often find themselves passing the ball around and not finding an opening on the defense. This can force opponents to try riskier passes, especially if they desperately need to score, allowing players to get the ball back with ease, and launch a quick counterattack.
Patience is the name of the game when playing against this formation. Players will need to wait for the opponents to make a mistake and then capitalize on it.
Scoring changes are rare when playing against a 5-4-1, especially on Fut Champions, so users need to be as effective in front of the goal as possible.
The build-up style for this formation should be set at balanced and the defensive approach at high, with the line height being between 60 and 70.
4-2-4
The 4-2-4 is one of the most offensive and enjoyable formations to use in FC 25 and is perfect for when players need to score.
Since it only has two midfielders, there is a big risk players are overrun in the midfield, and struggle to get the ball back in that area. However, the four strikers make it very hard for opponents to build up from the back, which can lead to opponents losing the ball in dangerous positions.
Starting the game with this formation can be a little risky, but it's a perfect formation to switch to if the opponent makes many mistakes when pressed in the build-up process, or players need to score.
The build-up style for this formation should be set at balanced and the defensive approach at high, with the line height being between 60 and 70.
These are the three most meta formations in FC 25 and they will certainly help you win many games.
