EA FC 24 best formation & custom tactics: Pro player recommendations

radiotimes.com:

As with previous FIFA releases, if you're looking to get better at EA FC 24, using some of the best formations and best custom tactics will go a long way in helping you move up in Division Rivals or Squad Battles.

While we're still in Early Access, the FC 24 meta has already started developing — and to no surprise, fast players are still dominating.

So, what is the best formation to use? RadioTimes.com has once again teamed up with pro coach NealGuides, who runs his own FC school, to help you stop smashing your controllers and start winning.

For players just starting out, one of the best formations in EA FC 24 is the 4-2-3-1, according to NealGuides.

This staple includes two CDMs, adding some much-needed protection for your back line, while the remaining four attacking players can quickly break forward when you win the ball.

However, NealGuides also notes that some players have been having trouble with one striker, due to players parking the bus.

So, if you're having trouble with attacking, we'd also suggest trying out formations with two strikers, such as a 4-2-2-2 or a 4-2-4 instead.

While uncommon nowadays in real football, the link-up play between two strikers helps break defenders apart.

In the video below, we can see NealGuides using a more traditional 4-4-2.

We'd also recommend trying out a formation with wingers, or at least wide CAMs, over the more narrow formations that worked well in previous games.

Through our current experience climbing the Division Rivals ladder, players can easily get overrun in the midfield, and so playing out wide helps give you the breathing room to avoid making unforced errors.
