EA FC 25: Are You Ready For The New Player Roles And Promo Cards In The Ultimate Succession Promo?

In the hottest football video game, EA Sports FC 25, the tactics and formations you use and the ratings of your players are very important, because those carefully planned strategies will win over those raw skills without any adjustments. Once you find the right settings, you will have a greater chance of overwhelming victory on the pitch. And with the evolution of formations and new changes in the game every season, it is impossible for players not to use a fixed and clear formation in FC 25. In the current game content, players pay more attention to overall balance and flexibility, so 4-2-3-1 Formation has become the mainstream. This formation is very suitable for players who are accustomed to frequent rotations on the field and have a higher level of operation, but because of the introduction of the new FC IQ function and the regular release of patches, using 4-2-3-1 Formation will also become more complicated. So this guide will give you the specific advantages of this formation and how to make it more effective. Specific Advantages Of 4-2-3-1 Formation In simple terms, the 4-2-3-1 Formation provides your team with a strong balance of offensive creativity and defensive stability. This is because you have two defensive midfielders at the back and three midfielders in the attacking half, so you will have a stable defensive line, in this case the attacking players can be very effective in creating multiple scoring chances and making quick transitions on the pitch. This is the most common way to use this formation. There is also another different way to build this formation, but the ultimate goal is to form a compact defensive coverage and a wide range of attacking options. Here is a quick breakdown of this 4-2-3-1 Formation. You can place the corresponding positions based on the attributes of the players you currently have. Defensive Line: Four solid defenders are needed to maintain a solid back line. Midfield Shield: Two CDMs are needed to provide you with defensive support and control the tempo. Attacking Trio: Three high-rated midfielders are needed to act as tempo assistants. Lone Striker: A striker with strong offensive power is needed to lead the attack. The suggestion here is that in addition to the midfielders, you can choose those players with an overall rating of around 85 but a higher potential rating, because in this way, the cost of FUT 25 Coins when you appoint them as the starting players is less, but they may give you a great surprise in the subsequent training. For the selection of players in each position, you may need to check the specific attributes of the players you like. For example, you must select two CDMs to be the core of the entire formation, one of which needs to be responsible for actively seizing the opponent’s possession of the ball, while the other CDM is responsible for directing the game through creative deep passes, so that they will provide a solid shield for the back line to resist counterattacks effectively. The other three midfielders with higher ratings are where the main action of the entire field takes place, among which CAM can take advantage of the gaps in the field, and the other two wingers provide speed and creativity for this main organizer and goal threat to achieve the purpose of disintegrating the opponent’s defense. Finally, choose a striker with a strong offensive ability to lead the front line at the top of this formation. Best Formation Variants There are several variations of 4-2-3-1 Formation in FC 25, but Attacking and Balanced are the most discussed in the community and on social media, and even used by some pros in real life. 4-2-3-1 Attacking Formation is more about attacking play, allowing your team to score all their goals under very high pressure and exploit the gaps in the midfield more frequently. In this formation, you can choose three attacking midfielders, who are needed to support the strikers perfectly, making your team the most aggressive in the entire FIFA 25. In contrast, 4-2-3-1 Balanced Formation offers a more cautious approach for players who are more focused on stability, although it maintains the same player structure, but focuses more on maintaining possession and controlling the midfield. CAM is still the core of the team, but it will be more involved in connecting the play rather than just finishing the play. Not only that, CDM will also take on more defensive roles, allowing the entire team to be in a stable state of scoring goals. Best Tactics After understanding the advantages and variations of the current 4-2-3-1 Formation, which is the most popular in EA FC 25, it is time to understand how to use it in the game. Here are the best Tactics for this variation and Player Roles for you to make your own formation according to your needs and the player cards you have. Tactics Tactical Preset: Custom Formation: 4-3-3 attack Build-Up Style: Balanced/Counter Defensive Approach: High Player Roles ST: Advanced (Attack) LCAM: Playmaker (Balanced) RCAM: Playmaker (Balanced) CAM: Playmaker (Balanced) CDM: Holding (Defend) CDM: Holding (Defend) LB: Fullback (Balanced) RB: Fullback (Balanced) CB: Ball-playing (Defend) CB: Ball-playing (Defend) Goalkeeper: Sweeper Keeper (Balanced) Recommended Players The success of this 4-2-3-1 Formation depends entirely on the synergy between the two CDMs, so you can appoint a player like Joshua Kimmich who is good at tackling and intercepting as the leader, so that he can more often seek to break the opponent’s attack and protect the back line to prevent any attack from the opponent. The other CDM who matches it will focus more on making accurate passes on the field and in the penalty area to start the team’s attack while maintaining the formation. Given that there are so many options for such players in FUT 25, I won’t list them one by one here, but be sure to stick to the principle just mentioned: choose players with lower overall ratings but higher potential ratings so that your FC 25 Coins are worth spending. For the core pillars of the entire formation, CAM should prioritize players with fast speed, agility, balance, passing and finishing ability. Cole Palmer is the best choice among them because of his ability to penetrate tight spaces and make accurate passes, and can also play the role of secondary striker. The above is some specific information and production guide of the very popular 4-2-3-1 Formation in FC 25. I hope this guide can help you get more victories more easily in this world-famous football video game. I wish you a happy game!

Since Christmas 2024, the real-world football world has held many exciting leagues, and many teams have contributed to their best performances. For example, Nottingham Forest is expected to return to the Champions League for the first time since 1980; Atletico Madrid won the La Liga championship, etc. However, you may be surprised that no players from these teams made it into the final FC 25 TOTY lineup. As a prestigious football video simulation game, EA Sports FC 25 holds various promotions every year to help you get your favorite players with fewer FIFA 25 Coins, or to upgrade the cards of the players in your team more easily. Among all the promotions, the annual TOTY is undoubtedly the most watched. The promotion is presented as a vote, which will list all the playable FUT 25 players in a year for you, allowing you to choose the ones you think performed best. The final 22 players selected will be formed into two teams (11 men and 11 women, excluding substitutes) and included in the game as TOTY player items. The latest EA FC 25 TOTY voting has officially ended at 11:59 pm PST on January 12, 2025, and the specific list of selected players was leaked a few hours ago. Let us introduce it to you. TOTY Men’s Team You may be surprised to find that four Real Madrid players were selected in the starting lineup of the men’s XI of this FC 25 TOTY - after all, there are only 11 places in total! In addition, Liverpool occupies two seats, and the remaining seats are taken by Chelsea, Aston Villa, Leverkusen and Arsenal, respectively. Among these 11 male players, the one who impressed you the most may be Rodri from Manchester City, because he has been plagued by injuries since September 2024, which led to reports at the time that this would have an adverse impact on Manchester City. It is rare that a player’s EA Sports FC 25 game value increases when they are injured. Here are the specific candidates: Goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa/Argentina) Defense Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool/Netherlands) William Saliba (Arsenal/France) Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid/Spain) Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen/Spain) Midfield Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid/England) Rodri (Manchester City/Spain) Cole Palmer (Chelsea/England) Attack Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid/Brazil) Mohamed Salah (Liverpool/Egypt) Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid/France) TOTY Women’s Team As you can see from the results of this vote, the days of the United States dominating women’s football are gone, as only one American player was selected for FIFA 25 TOTY Women’s Team. It is worth noting that Barcelona is the backbone of the new TOTY Women’s Team with four players selected, and Chelsea is close behind with three. In addition, there are two Norwegian female players in this 11-person team, showing you the hidden potential of Toppserien. Guro Reiten from Chelsea and Caroline Graham Hansen from Barcelona are the only two players on the entire annual team who do not play in their own domestic league. Here are the specific candidates: Goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger (Gotham FC/Germany) Defense Sakina Karchaoui (Paris Saint-Germain/France) Wendie Renard (Lyon/France) Irene Paredes (Barcelona/Spain) Lucy Bronze (Chelsea/England) Midfield Aitana Bonmatí (Barcelona/Spain) Alexia Putellas (Barcelona/Spain) Guro Reiten (Chelsea/Norway) Attack Caroline Graham Hansen (Barcelona/Norway) Sophia Smith (Portland Thorns/U.S.) Lauren James (Chelsea/England) When Can You Get The New TOTY Players? Although you now know which players have been selected, according to the release order of FC 25, the official list is expected to be announced to all players between January 23-24, so you will just have to wait until the end of January to view and obtain the above players through the relevant in-game pages. The 22 winners will be included in EA FC 25 as TOTY player items redeemable by FC 25 Coins after this promotion ends. Each item will not only have a unique blue theme design and gold decoration, but will also be able to further improve the statistics and ratings of their own cards in the game, so that you can get more benefits after obtaining them. In addition, FC 25 will also launch TOTY Icons team composed of legendary players. What’s more noteworthy is that the two official teams will each get an additional No. 12 substitute position to recognize those players who are good enough but missed the starting lineup by a few votes. The relevant voting for substitutes usually takes place at the end of TOTY promotion, so if your favorite player did not make the official team, don’t forget to vote at that time!

Blaise Matuidi also played for Saint-Étienne, winning 4 league trophies for the club in his ten years in France’s top league. Although he did not lift European Champions League trophy, football fans all over the world remembered his name after he led French team to win World Cup in 2018.

He can dodge the opponent’s defenders with his calm dribbling. When he breaks into the opponent’s penalty area in the game, he will be unimpeded, just like his career path. Speaking of his career, it has to be said. He gradually changed from a compact figure in Lille to one of the greatest players in Chelsea’s history. Although he didn’t have any outstanding performances when he was in Real Madrid, this did not affect his legendary status. The most worth knowing is that Eden Hazard was named Premier League Player of Year in the 2014/2015 season and helped Chelsea win the championship. This indirectly affects his overall rating in the game. I believe that with your correct strategy, he can help you win more games with a rating of 90 points. 4. Jamie Carragher Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 88 Jamie Carragher is not only one of Liverpool’s best ever players, but also one of their greatest defenders.

He is an unforgettable hero in the eyes of the fans, who admires him for everything, not just an aggressive defender. 5. Jaap Stam Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 89 With players who strike fear into the hearts of their opponents in football, Jaap Stam is definitely one of them. Even the best attackers in the world don’t want to stand in the way of this Dutchman, as he has the best collision, duel and tackle skills in the entire league. He also won Treble at Old Trafford and was hailed as one of the best players in Europe, while also being feared by everyone. Although his Prime rating is only 89, you can’t underestimate his ability in defense. 6. Tim Howard Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 89 Tim Howard has already been called an icon in Premier League, and his longevity and naturalness have earned him an Origin rating of 85 in FC 25, earning him Hero status. This American number one is also known for his ability to stop everything, and he will do whatever it takes to stop the opponent’s attack, and challenged Premier League football early in his career. He eventually chose to settle down with Everton and even helped them reach FA Cup final in 2009. In 2014, he also gave one of the greatest goalkeeping performances of all time for the national team. Tim Howard himself was very happy to be selected as one of FC 25 Heroes and showed that he really likes the goalkeeping position. 7. Laura Georges Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 89 As we mentioned earlier, female players will be officially added to the world of EA FC in 2024. And in this year’s new game, three more Heroes have been added, one of which is Laura Georges. The central defender has had an impressive career in Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon and her nation France. Although she was away from the field for a while during her college years in United States, she is most remembered for winning Champions League in 2011 and 2012 as the captain of Lyon. If you get Laura Georges in your collection, you will get a very good and true leader, and you will save a lot of FC 25 Coins that you would have spent on other defenders. 8. Maicon Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 90 Having mentioned defenders before, now we have the greatest right-back of all time - Maicon. Despite being a Brazilian, he spent most of his career in the southern European country. It was there that he grew from a struggling youngster to a powerful, aggressive defender that everyone feared. His meteoric rise to fame in Supercoppa Italiana laid the foundation for everything he would build on. Then, in four years, the up-and-coming Maicon became a force in world football, leading Inter Milan to the treble and becoming a hero in their eyes. 9. Guti Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 88 Many young footballers would like to work their way through their childhood club’s academy until their first big break, but few manage to do so. Fortunately, Guti did it in spectacular fashion. He joined the club as a child in 1986. He made over 500 appearances and shone throughout his remarkable career until he left in 2010. His excellent vision on the pitch helped him greatly in finding his teammates with ease, which is also an exceptional skill to have in your team. 10. Fara Williams Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 88 Women’s football has been rising rapidly in England and it is becoming more and more popular, especially with European Championship of 2022. But in the time before that, Fara Williams has been laying the foundations. Her experience in the midfield is crucial, but her ability to score goals is equally valuable. Her heroics have earned her several personal honors during her career, including an MBE from Queen. Perhaps this makes her royal nickname Queen Fara perfect. 11. Ze Roberto Origin Hero Rating: 86 Prime Hero Rating: 89 Ze Roberto’s extraordinary skills can be summed up in a few words: Electric, Fast and Frightening. As a dynamic player who always managed to outsmart his opponents, he was adored by all. During Ze Roberto’s time at Bayer Leverkusen, he helped the team reach Champions League final in 2002, while also coming close to domestic titles. It was then that he acquired the ability to shine in any league, at any level, in any competition. Add to that his 84 caps for Brazil and few are as iconic, so his rating in FC 25 is over 85. 12. Marek Hamsik Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 89 In football, a haircut that stands out from the crowd is Marek Hamsik. His mohawk is like Marmite; some love it, some hate it, but it is undoubtedly iconic. But as his talent honed over the years, just like his mohawk, Slovakian shone during his 12 years at Napoli. Marek Hamsik went from a doubter to captain, winning Coppa Italia with the club in 2012 and 2014. 13. Mohammed Noor Origin Hero Rating: 85 Prime Hero Rating: 88 Many fans would assume that Saudi Arabia’s status in world football has been rising, but in fact it is not the case, so Mohammed Noor’s talent has been overlooked throughout his 22-year career. The midfielder became one of the most exciting players ever in Asia because he perfectly mastered the ability to control opponents and throw defenders out of position just by lowering his shoulders. At his peak, Mohammed Noor won European Championship in 2004 and 2005, and he also scored 60 goals for the club in his career. But it is worth lamenting that his talent came too early. If he was born 20 years later, the whole world would definitely be his fans. But thankfully, you can still use him in FC 25 and make him a trump card in your hand. These are all the heroes in FC 25. Hopefully, you can get the heroes you want in the game when it is officially released on September 20. If you have questions about other gameplay methods in FC 25, you can come to iGMeet Discord to ask other players. I believe they will be very happy to help you!
