Settling on a good tactic in FC 25 will go a long way towards securing wins regardless of whether you’re playing Division Rivals, Squad Battles or Career Mode, but the best formations and custom tactics are hard to find.

The tactics change in every edition of the game, and this year’s release is no different, with the most significant tactical overhaul in recent years and the introduction of Player Roles.

Some tactics will offer more width, while others will be stronger defensively. Most importantly, they can be the difference between winning and losing.
