Hi, players! My goal for today is to introduce some fresh tactics in EA FC 24. We’ll be focusing on the 4-2-3-1, specifically the second variation featuring the Left and Right Mids. As usual, I’ll delve into custom tactics and player instructions. Additionally, I’ll provide gameplay examples to illustrate the strategies effectively.

Custom Tactics

Defensive Tactics: First, for Defensive Style, we always stay on balanced. In the normal situation, I will choose to set the width on 40, but this time I’ve gone for a bit of a lower depth with 45. I’ve done that because this formation is excellent when it’s compact and you can counter attack very well.

Offensive Tactics: The Build UP Play is on balanced again and then opt Direct Passing for the Chance Creation. In every formation, that’s objectively the best, unless you’re maybe playing a narrow formation, which you want to use a fast build up.

Then we go the width on 40 because the formation in itself is already very wide, so with 40, they’ll be a bit more balanced, and we don’t really want them to touch the sideline. The Player In Box is on 4, which contains 1 Striker and 3 Attacking Midfielders. Then set the Corners on 3 and Free Kicks on 2. That’s irrelevant if the formation is just whatever you prefer.

Player Instructions

Now let’s get into the players instruction. For the Goalkeeper and 2 Center Backs, they are all as usual. It’s on default, so don’t need to change anything as good as it is. For the Left and Right Back, both on Stay Back While Attacking for this formation. You want to keep them in place and don't try to make things too complicated.

CDM: Now, let's focus on the Central Defensive Midfielders (CDMs). Typically, you'll want one player to adopt a more defensive role while the other takes on a more attacking stance. In our setup, we have Fridolina Rolfo as the defensive CDM, offering solid defensive capabilities. Alongside Fridolina Rolfo, we have Bruno Fernandes, who brings creativity and attacking prowess to the midfield.

Both players should be set to Cover Center, but for Bruno Fernandes, the more attacking CDM set him to Balanced Attack. As for Fridolina Rolfo, the defensive anchor, it's best to set her to Stay Back While Attacking. This configuration allows Bruno to contribute more to the attack while still maintaining defensive stability, ensuring we're prepared for both offensive opportunities and defensive counter attacks.

CAM: As for the Attacking Midfielder, we've opted for Kevin De Bruyne. However, you can also use an attacker in this position. I prefer players with solid defensive stats who contribute to the defensive effort. For Kevin De Bruyne, we've chosen not to apply any specific instructions because we believe a balanced defensive is appropriate. He naturally contributes to defense, and there's no need for additional defensive duties.

Left & Right Mid: On the left side, we have Kylian Mbappe, who will be instructed to Get Behind because of his incredible speed. He needs to consistently pressure the opponent's defense by making runs in behind.

On the right side, we have George Best. We've left everything on default but added Get Into The Box For Crosses. With Davies on the left, who has an excellent crossing ability, we want Best to make runs at the back post to receive crosses, regardless of his height.

Striker: As for our Striker, we have Eusébio, who will be instructed to Stay Central and Target Player. He needs to stay in the middle to receive support from teammates while being the main goal-scoring threat.

As we all know, skill moves play an important part in EA FC 24. Executing them at the right moment can truly alter the course of the game. Today, I'm going to reveal 5 skill moves of dribbling effectively in tight areas and close quarters. I'll demonstrate how to perform the skill move, the ideal timing for its execution, and how to maximize its effectiveness.

Reverse Elastic

Introducing the highly effective skill move for close-quarters play inside the box - the Reverse Elastic. Widely regarded as one of the top skill moves in 1v1 situations, the Reverse Elastic is known for its effectiveness in tight situations.

To execute it in FC 24, initiate a half-circle motion with your right stick, starting from the left side of your player, moving backward, and ending on the right side. This sequence is tailored for right-footed players. For left-footed ones, simply reverse the direction.

The Reverse Elastic's versatility makes it invaluable for evading Defenders and creating scoring opportunities. Whether you're looking to maneuver past opponents in a crowded box or make a decisive cut towards goal, the Reverse Elastic excels in both scenarios.

Flair Nutmeg

Then the Flair Nutmeg stands out as one of the premier skill moves for navigating tight spaces inside the box in FC 24. It's particularly effective for close dribbling and excels in tight situations, making it a top choice for skilled players with at least 4-star skill ratings.

To execute this move, start by holding down the R1 and L1 buttons on PlayStation, or the RP and LP buttons on the Xbox. Then, flick your right stick in the direction you want your player to move. Your player will seamlessly perform the Flair Nutmeg move.

What sets Flair Nutmeg apart is his lightning speed in the game. Moreover, it allows you to maneuver your player in any direction you desire - whether it's to the right, left, backward, or forward.

La Croqueta

Next up, we have got the La Croqueta, an absolutely great skill move in tight situations and close dribbling. If you want to perform it, you have to be using a player that has got 4-star skill moves.

It's very simple to do it in the game. If you are on PlayStation, hold the L1 button and then hold your right stick to the right of your player or the left of your player. If you are moving with your player to the right and you want to go down with him, hold the L1 button and then hold your right stick down. If you are on Xbox, hold the LB button and then hold your right stick down or up.

There are some situations where the La Croqueta can be really effective for you, especially if you are on the wing and you want to cut inside the box. Perform a fake shot, make your player fully stopped, and then perform a La Croqueta, and you're going to escape from the Defenders.

Mcgeady Spin Cancel

Moving on to the next skill move, we have got a skill combo this time and probably the best skill cancel in FC 24, which is the Mcgeady Spin Cancel. To perform it, 5-star skill moves are required, so you can only execute it with a 5-star player. Spending some EA FC 24 Coins to upgrade your player's abilities is crucial.

The Mcgeady Spin Cancel is done by flicking your right stick forward and then flicking it again up or down, depending on where you want to move your player. Then, quickly while your player is performing the Mcgeady Spin Cancel skill move, you have to cancel the skill move, which is done by pressing the R2 and the L2 at the same time on PlayStation, or if you are on Xbox, press the RT and the LT at the same time.

With that, you'll cancel the skill move and activate the Mcgeady Spin Cancel, which is by far the best skill move to cancel in FC 24. This animation allows your player to keep the ball close, making it perfect for 1v1 situations. It's particularly effective for tight dribbling, mainly because not everyone is familiar with the move.

Stepovers

Next up, we have one of the most meta skill moves for - Stepovers. This skill move is widely recognized for its effectiveness in tight situations. To perform it in FC 24, all you need is a player with 2-star skill moves, allowing for versatility across your team.

To execute the Stepovers, simply flick your right stick forward and slightly up or down on Xbox or PlayStation. Using the Stepovers with a player possessing the Rapid Playstyle+ or the Quick Step Playstyle+ enhances its effectiveness, as it grants a speed boost during gameplay.

After performing the Stepovers, you can further capitalize on their momentum by holding down the R2 button on PlayStation or the RT button on the Xbox. This action triggers a burst of acceleration, allowing your player to surge forward.

The versatility of the Stepovers makes them applicable in various situations, from creating space with your Defender to evading high-pressure situations. However, they shine brightest when utilized in the wing. The speed boost gained after executing the Stepovers enables Wingers to sprint past Defenders effortlessly, resembling the unstoppable pace of a player like Killian Mbappé.

With most domestic leagues approaching the end of their seasons, EA FC 24 Ultimate Team has also announced the upcoming release of the highly anticipated Team of the Season Promo Event.

As one of the largest and best promo events in Ultimate Team, TOTS will reward the best players in world football with significant stat boosts. It’s worth noting that its promotion will be bigger than ever this year, so expect more squads and new TOTS changes in the coming weeks.

In this guide, we’ll talk about how to prepare for this upcoming TOTS promo event and share ways to increase your chances of getting blue player items. If you want a head start when entering this event, don’t miss this guide.

Keys To Prepare For TOTS

Currently, TOTS Warmup Series has been launched, and players can complete a series of challenges to obtain generous rewards before TOTS promo event is officially released.

A fan vote is also expected to be held by Ultimate Team community soon. Players can vote for players they think should be selected for Community TOTS, Premier League TOTS, Bundesliga TOTS, La Liga TOTS and a number of other TOTS squads.

In fact, the keyway to prepare for TOTS promo is to be patient and stock up on enough packs. No matter how tempted you are, save as many packs as you can and don’t be tempted by any released and overpriced Player SBCs. Because you need to save these fodders for when TOTS starts.

But I’m not saying go spend your hard-earned FUT 24 Coins to buy all the packs when TOTS launches, as there are plenty of other ways to get packs without spending a penny.

Participate In TOTS Warmup Series

Since TOTS Warmup Series is now living in Ultimate Team, this event is all about helping you prepare for the official TOTS start date.

The developers will release daily SBC challenges and Objectives for players to complete over the next week, and in return you will receive packs and player picks that can be saved to TOTS. Additionally, daily login upgrades will also be returning in TOTS Warmup, so be sure to take advantage of this. 

But remember, no matter what rewards you get, don’t try to open them! There are only a few days left until TOTS goes live, so try to avoid temptation.

Avoid Wasting Fodder

Currently, there are multiple Icon, Hero and special item player picks SBCs that can be completed, but it has to be said that they are not cheap.

You only have a slight chance of pulling a huge multi-million icon. But more likely than not, your original player picks cost less than the amount of fodder you put into your SBC, and you’ve wasted useful resources by the time TOTS shows up.

Each TOTS promo event arrives, EA Sports releases a series of TOTS-themed SBCs, TOTS players, guaranteed TOTS packs, and more SBCs that will make it even better for you than you already are. So when they drop, save as many fodders as possible just in case.

If you really want to complete some SBCs, the low-requirement upgrade packs are still very useful, as long as you save the upgrade packs for when TOTS arrives.

Spend More Time Completing Game Objectives

The last and easiest way to prepare is to spend more time playing the game before TOTS promo arrives. Rewards in Rivals and Champions in particular have been improved before TOTS, so make sure you play as much as possible to accumulate as many pack rewards as possible.

This way, not only do you complete some objectives, but you also gain access to additional packs. So, this is also another effective way to earn free rewards for TOTS in a timely manner.

It’s important to note that none of these methods guarantee you a TOTS player item, as the items you get in a pack are entirely dependent on luck. But thinking about it another way, if you save more packs, it means you have more chances to get those coveted blue player items! So, hurry up and join in!

In EA FC 24, the defensive depth carries more weight than anticipated, profoundly influencing defensive strategies in real-time situations. This key aspect has the potential to significantly improve your defenses. However, determining ideal defensive depth depends on a variety of factors, including our individual playstyles and the specific opponents we face in each game.

Defensive Depth Of 71

The defensive depth of 71 is something that almost everyone was using when EA FC 24 first dropped. As we remember, because when you put your depth higher than 44, the auto Overload Ball Side comes in, and the team does an auto press.

When you put it higher than 70, the team does auto press plus auto Offside Trap, which makes it very suffocating for your opponent to build up because you are constantly pressing him, there is the auto Overload Ball Side, and you won’t lose as much stamina. And you’re also doing auto Offside Traps, which made 71 depth almost unbeatable.

Defensive Depth Of 44

After EA significantly nerfed the auto press feature, many players reverted to using their preferred defensive depth settings. Now, some experts suggest using a depth of 44 for defensive tactics. They argue that at this depth, there is no auto press, allowing the team to maintain shape without auto Overload Ball Side. This can lead to better defensive organization, making it appealing for less skilled players who struggle with positioning and quick switches.

However, whether this approach is effective depends on various factors. While it may offer defensive stability, a depth of 44 results in a static defensive line with no pressing. This means that players who lack the ability to manually press may struggle to disrupt opponent attacks effectively.

Without pressure on the ball, opponents have more time to build up play, making it challenging to defend against even moderately skilled players. Therefore, while using a depth of 44 may seem like a safe option, it can also expose defensive vulnerabilities, especially against opponents who can exploit space and time on the ball.

Other Defensive Depths

There are some other depths to consider, typically ranging between a depth of 45 to 65, or even extending up to 69. When setting your defensive depth above 45, you'll still experience some level of auto press. However, once you surpass 44, the auto press and auto Overload Ball Side functions are activated. The higher the depth setting, the more aggressive the press and Overload Ball Side tactics become.

Gameplay Example

Choosing the appropriate depth ultimately depends on your preferences and playstyles. Let's delve into an example to better illustrate this concept. In the Weekend League, you will encounter opponents of considerable skill. Enhance your players by investing some EA FC 24 Coins and then you will choose to opt to employ a defensive depth setting of 71.

However, you may soon find that this aggressive approach left too many defensive vulnerabilities. Many adversaries exploited this by consistently employing lobbed through passes, long passes, and ground through passes, creating significant challenges for the defense.

Recognizing the need for a tactical adjustment, you then experimented with reducing defensive depth in subsequent matches. Setting it to values such as 65, 68, or 67 allowed you to maintain a higher defensive line while avoiding the pitfalls of an overly aggressive auto Offside Trap.

Tips & Tricks

Recognizing the signs of ineffective defensive depth is critical to adjust tactics during games. If your opponent consistently finds too much space to take Long Shots or execute finishing moves, it may indicate that your defensive depth is too low. In such cases, increasing your depth can help to tighten up your defense and limit your opponent's scoring opportunities.

Similarly, a lack of Counter Attacks in FC 24 may signal that your defensive depth needs adjustment. If your opponent can counter you too frequently, it suggests that your defensive line may be too high, allowing them to exploit space behind your Defenders. Lowering your defensive depth can help to address this issue and prevent your opponent from capitalizing on counterattacking opportunities.

Hi, players! The 4-3-3(4) formation I am going to talk about is designed for swift build up play and counter attacks in EA FC 24. It offers the versatility to execute tiki taka style football with the right custom tactics. Without wasting times, let's dive in!

Custom Tactics

Defensive Tactics: When it comes to Defensive Style, you can opt for a balanced approach. Regarding Width, I set it to 4, while for Depth, there are 2 viable options. The first involves a depth of 65, resulting in an effective high press during gameplay. However, employing a high press without a CDM in the formation poses risks. If you are against counter attacks, consider a depth of 60.

Offensive Tactics: In terms of Build Up Play, I recommend sticking to a balanced approach. When it comes to Chance Creation, Direct Passing is the best choice, especially effective with a formation featuring a Center Attacking Midfielder. Regarding the others, you can opt for 4 Players in Box, and then set 6 for Corners and Free Kicks.

Player Instructions

Then let's move on to the player instructions. Get ready to boost your players' abilities with some EA Sports FC 24 Coins.

Center Back: In defense, maintain default settings for the Right and Left Center Backs. Focus on keeping the Right Back in a defensive role, instructing them to Stay Back While Attacking. Conversely, encourage the Left Back to Overlap, facilitating both defensive cover and offensive support.

This strategic move ensures that your Left Back contributes to both ends of the pitch. Despite already having a Left Winger in attack, employing the left wing as a forward adds depth to your offensive maneuvers.

CM: Starting with the Left Center Midfielder, who assumes the role of CDM in this formation. You'll find that he operates in a defensive capacity, focusing on intercepting passes, making tackles, and thwarting counter attacks.

Therefore, it's crucial to have a midfielder with exceptional defensive abilities and physical prowess in this position. In EA FC 24, he'll primarily function as a CDM. As for his instructions, set them to Stay Back While Attacking and Cover Center.

Right Center Mid: For the Right Center Mid in the 4-3-3(4) formation, you're looking at the box-to-box role. This player needs well-rounded stats to contribute both offensively and defensively. For the instructions, prioritize Stay On Edge Of Box For Cross and Cover Center to optimize his contributions to the team.

If you are letting your Right Back to help you on the attack and help you on the defense, and your Left Back to Stay Back While Attacking, that time you have to use your Right Center Mid as the CDM on this formation, and your Left Center Mid as the box-to-box.

CAM: Moving on to the Central Attacking Midfielder, the pivotal playmaker in this formation, arguably the most crucial player. Whether it's providing assists, executing precise passes, or initiating attacks, this player will always be at the heart of the action.

Wingers: For the Right Winger and Left Winger, what I recommend using with them is Come Back On Defense, Get In Behind, Cut Inside, and Get Into The Box For Cross. If you want to play it wide, you don’t need your Right Winger and Left Winger to play it narrow.

Striker: For the major player, the Striker, what I’m using with is Get In Behind, Stay Central, and Stay Forward. With these custom tactics, you need a striker who can easily get in behind. This formation is absolutely perfect for counter attacks and fast build up, and with these player instructions, you’re going to see him always trying to get in behind and break the defense line.

I’m here to walk you through everything you need to know about D-pad tactics. Many players may not be familiar with D-pad tactics, but they do work because they allow you to give instructions to players without pausing the game. These D-pad tactics are crucial for becoming a pro player in the EA FC 24.

Let's begin by discussing all the available options. Initially, there are 8 different choices for D-pad tactics, comprising four D-pad up tactics and four D-pad down tactics. We'll commence with the D-pad up tactics first.

D-Pad Up (Attacking Tactics)

Extra Striker: The first one is to press your D-pad up and down. It means that one of your Center Backs goes up front, but I don’t really think this happens.

Hug Sideline: This tactic is to press up and to the right. This one is really useful this year because if you play a formation with only Full Backs, for example, the 4-3-2-1, your Full Backs will hug the sideline, which makes it significantly easier to build up and to find them in the overlap when you’re building up.

You may want to create the run with your Full Backs in that formation. They will always be on the sideline, so they will create a lot of width in your attack. Don’t forget to allocate some FC 24 Coins to enhance the abilities of your Full Backs and improve your overall gaming experience.

Attacking Full Backs: For this one, you need to perform by pressing your D-pad arrow up and to the left. This means you can put your Full Backs on joining the attack, which you can also do in the instructions. So that’s something that could be really effective.

Get In The Box: This tactic only works if you need to go all out without attacking. All the players need to go forward. When you will probably lose, chasing a game with 1 or 2 goals, 10, 15 minutes left, you can just put them in Get in the Box. In any other situation, I would not recommend using this.

D-Pad Down (Defending Tactics)

Then, the next 4 tactics are defensive tactics when you press down on the d-pad.

Team Press: Team Press this year isn’t really effective. But you perform that by pressing your D-pad arrow down and then to the left. This will make all your players push up on the pitch and try to pressure the opponent in situations where this can be useful.

For example, in the 75th minute or 80th when your opponent has a goal kick and you didn’t install your press tactics, make sure to have this tactic where you have constant pressure.

Overload Ball Side: Avoid using that because it drains your player's stamina. But if you want to know how to perform it, you perform it by pressing your D-pad arrow down and then to the right.

Striker Drop Back: The tactic I always use is Striker Drop Back. You can perform this tactic by pressing your D-pad arrow down and then up. It will make your Striker drop back more, so it will be more compact in defense.

Offside Trap: The tactic is the most important one. You can perform this tactic by pressing your D-pad arrow down 2 times. The Offside Trap is a dangerous one as well because this really makes you a good defender in the EA FC 24.

If you mistime this, you will allow your opponents to have a lot of chances out of nowhere. If you practice this and master it, it will make you an insane Defender in the EA FC 24. This won’t allow your opponent to reach your box easily.

For example, if your opponent passes back, you pull off an Offside Trap that makes your last line push up higher, which will make it harder for him to break you down. And every time your opponent is turning back or passing back, just make use of this.

The Importance Of Full Backs

The Hug Sideline and Attacking Full Backs are amazing in combination in EA Sports FC 24 this year. Full Backs are really important in this year’s game, especially if you play a 4-3-2-1. They might be the most important players in that formation.

When they hug the sideline and go high up, so you play them on Hug Sideline and Attacking Full Backs, they will be high up on the sideline every time. So the switch will be open every single time, and this makes it so hard for your opponent to defend because you can just switch to the side, and you will get into a 2v1 situation on the wing every single time.

Diamond Dynasty, the most popular game mode in the MLB The Show series, allows players to build rosters you could only dream of before.

If you want to get your team off to the right start but don’t know where to start, don’t miss this guide. Here, we’ll provide 5 professional Diamond Dynasty tips to help you have a better experience in MLB The Show 24! Without further ado, let’s get started!

Use The Market To Flip Player Cards

Collecting players by opening bags is one of the most enjoyable aspects of Diamond Dynasty. However, this comes with a significant risk of losing your hard-earned MLB The Show 24 Stubs. But there is a way around this problem, which is to use the market to flip cards.

Be careful not to use Buy Now or Sell Now buttons, as this will cost you stubs of your own. When you want to buy or sell player cards, you can create a buy or sell order. Then, depending on whether you want to buy or sell, place an order for more or fewer stubs than the current best quote.

This method of buying low and selling high can effectively help you complete your Live Series Collection at the lowest price. You can even earn some extra stubs if you time your player card flips just right.

Core Cards Have High Value

As we all know, each season of MLB The Show 24 lasts approximately twelve weeks, and each season has a corresponding set.

Among them, Set 1 cards can be used in Season 1, but you need to obtain and use Wild Card slot to use a card in Season 2. The idea is to give players faster access to high-end teams while still encouraging constant lineup changes.

It’s worth noting that the exception to this rule is core cards. Core cards consist of Live Series and Live Series Collection rewards and can be used all the time. Since Power Creep is back this year, high-end Core cards will be valuable.

At the start of each season, team records will be reset to around 85-90 overall. During each season, you’ll be able to acquire new and better cards, boosting your team to 99-overall by the end of the season.

Build The Best Free Team By Team Affinity

If you are a free player, Team Affinity is definitely the best and fastest way for you to build a competitive team.

Team Affinity lets you earn a diamond-level player from each MLB team simply by playing the game and completing objectives. It’s a quick, easy way to keep your team’s strength steadily improving in the heat of online competition.

I would like to remind you that there have been some changes to Team Affinity in MLB The Show 24 as well. There was a Team Affinity list for each season of last year’s game, but in MLB The Show 24, the process of completing Team Affinity is much faster. There will be three Team Affinity programs each season, each offering better players.

If you focus on the objectives, you can complete Team Affinity quickly. I finished Season 1 Chapter 1 in about two weeks.

Choose The Most Suitable Cornerstone Card

Also, Cornerstone Cards, a fresh addition to MLB The Show 24, can provide a significant boost to your squad. If you use them, it will give you an immense advantage.

While regular Captain Cards usually require you to use a certain number of players from the same team, Cornerstone Players can help you decide what type of team you want to be.

For example, if you take Nolan Arenado in Season 1, you’ll want to find a lot of slow players with the ability to maximize your upside, such as Corey Seager, Aaron Judge, and Yordan Alvarez.

In Season 1, there are two pitching captains and two hitting captains who act as Cornerstone Cards. Each of them will provide enormous benefits, but don’t forget to seriously consider the type of team you want to have when choosing which team you want.

Try Conquests For A Quick Boost

Finally, players who are really good at MLB The Show can join the online game right away and thrive. Because only by accumulating some good cards will you have a chance of staying competitive.

Among them, a good way to obtain stubs, packs, and cards is to complete Conquests. They’re single-player experiences that allow for varying difficulties and are a great way to get acclimated to the squad. You only get rewards by capturing territories and defeating bosses.

Most conquest maps are topic-specific for specific programs. Themed Conquest maps will allow you to make additional progress in the program to which they apply. Fun competition methods are also a great way for you to adjust the pace of your game.

Outro

All in all, we’re just giving you some tips to follow, you can ultimately play the way you want to play and build your team the way you want to play. Enjoy the game!

Welcome to our new formation guide! Today, we’ll delve into the 4-2-1-3 formation in EA FC 24. These tactics will help you get more wins in FUT Champs and Division Rivals! Let’s explore its potential for creating a distinctive gameplay experience.

Now, when we’re defending with this formation and this setup, how we have it is basically going to make it so that you are defending with 5 in midfield and make it essentially a 4-5-1. When you are attacking, you have the benefits of that Center Attacking Mid, Left Wing, Right Wing, and the Striker.

Custom Tactics

Defensive Tactics: First, we go into Defensive Style of balanced. There are so many people running balanced defensive style. This is a formation that we’re going to start the game with. Balanced gives us just the most neutral setup.

For our defensive Width, I go 45. This just means that when the opponent has the ball, we’re tucked in ever so slightly. So, the 45 width just means that basically when the opponent’s moving in around the 18-yard box, we’re a bit more compact.

I’m using a Depth of 64. If you go for 46 depth or higher, you trigger an automatic AI press, which was introduced in FC 24. If you’re prefer a depth of 45 to 50, that’s perfectly fine. However, I find 64 depth to be ideal for the 4-2-1-3 formation.

Offensive Tactics: In our Build Up Play, we stick with balance. While slow Build Up allows for methodical play, it leaves you vulnerable to counters. I also tried a long ball for a counter-attacking approach with the wingers, but it felt too one-dimensional. Balance offers a mix of both, which I find ideal.

For Chance Creation, I opted for forward runs instead of possession. Forward runs spread the play, creating 1v1 battles across the field, giving us numerous attacking options in the final third. However, this approach requires caution, as it can leave us exposed to counter attacks.

In terms of Width, I prefer a narrow setup with a width of 35. The 4-2-1-3 formation naturally provides width, and with player instructions, it creates a unique defensive and attacking structure.

We commit numbers forward with 7 Players in Box, allowing for attacking opportunities. While this might leave the Center Attacking Midfielder occasionally forward, it’s balanced out by defensive instructions. Regarding set-pieces, it’s a matter of personal preference. I opt for 1 player on Corners and Free Kicks, but choose what works best for you.

Player Instructions

Goalkeeper: If you want to run sweeper-keeper, who comes across to deal with over-the-top through balls and to handle the opponent's ability to cross the ball, feel free. I haven't run it as much this year, to be honest with you, but it can really work when you have the right sort of keeper with it, who's confident coming out to claim and confident kind of being quick off their line.

Right Back & Left Back: The strategy differs. The Right Back stays up while attacking, while the Left Back adopts a balanced approach with Overlap. It's a matter of personal preference. The side doesn't matter. Whichever player you prefer to push forward more will work fine.

I opt for Destiny Udogie to advance more aggressively. I do this because I believe having all defenders stay back can hinder our attacking potential. By committing slightly more defensively, we maintain balance. 

Defensive Midfielders: Both of our Defensive Midfielders are instructed to Stay Back While Attacking, Cut Passing Lanes, and Cover Center. This setup allows us to maintain defensive solidity while still committing numbers forward.

One of our Defensive Midfielders, advance because of a triggered run, Ugar remains to hold, providing us with an additional layer of defensive cover and preventing the opponent's center attack from breaking through.

Career Mode is an important part of EA Sports FC 24 and has been popular with many players since the game’s launch. However, many players complain that playing Career Mode in the normal way for a long time often feels boring.

If you want a more interesting gaming experience, incorporating unique challenges is the best way to do it. These challenges give you specific goals to achieve. Besides, you can add stipulations to make them more difficult.

Over the years, the gaming community has come up with challenges that change the way Career Mode is completed. In this guide, we’ll introduce some exciting challenges to make your gameplay even more fun.

Win World Cup

World Domination is one challenge you can try in EA Sports FC 24 Career Mode. But many players often overlook managing international teams.

The focus of this challenge should be winning World Cup, the most prestigious trophy in the history of the sport. You can try performing challenges with your country’s national team or a team that has yet to win a World Cup to further enhance the experience.

It’s important to note that this challenge takes place every four years in Career Mode, which means you can only win the challenge a few times in a specific save. So it is crucial to invest more FC 24 Coins to build the best team.

Lead A Lower Tier Team To Become UCL Champions

Another thing you can try in Career Mode is to pick an underdog team from the lowest tier and help them become UCL champions. It’s basically a path to glory where you have to go through multiple horrific seasons to build a team from the ground up.

You can choose any lower division team, but it’s best to start with the fourth division in England as this is the most challenging. Completing this challenge will be easier if you end up signing a young core of high-potential players.

However, this is still time consuming as winning UCL takes at least 6-7 seasons. So, be prepared to play the long game.

Win The Treble

Winning the treble is one of the most important challenges in FC 24, which includes winning the league title, domestic trophy and UCL in one season. A handful of clubs have only accomplished this feat in real life, so the difficulty of the challenge is self-evident.

Given that you have to win these trophies in one season, you need to make sure your team remains competitive throughout the calendar year. Also, don’t forget to prepare substitutes, otherwise one injury to any player could ruin your dream of winning the treble.

Financial Constraints Challenge

Since many clubs in real life are subject to financial constraints, it’s also a fun variation to try the same scenario in Career Mode. You can completely blow out your budget for a few seasons and build a team with the players you already have. This is probably one of the hardest challenges to complete in the game, as you won’t be able to upgrade your team with better players.

Rebuilding The Team With Players From The Same Country

Another interesting challenge is to rebuild the team using only players from the same country. This adds an extra level of difficulty and makes winning trophies even more difficult.

The difficulty becomes even greater when you add in the requirement to sell players who do not belong to a specific country. It might take you several seasons to assemble a team of excellent football players representing the same country.

Build The Best Youth Academy Team

Youth Academy is an important part of EA FC 24 Career Mode, helping you develop the next exceptional talent and help your team become better.

You can only use players from Youth Academy within your team in this challenge. Also, you can try to complete this challenge using those football clubs that are known for producing brilliant talents from their Youth Academy.

Considering it can take several seasons to develop Youth Academy players, you’re in for a fun ride. Don’t forget to hire the best scouts as this will help you find better talent more easily.

In short, trying these challenges will make your Career Mode gameplay more diverse and have a more interesting gaming experience. So, come and give it a try!
