Formation / Tactics 4-2-2-2 for FC 25

In this article, you'll find a detailed explanation of the 4-2-2-2 formation and the latest tactics for EA Sports FC 25, so you can thrive on the virtual pitch in Ultimate Team 25!

The 4-2-2-2 formation is one of the most dynamic and offensive settings in EA FC 25, often used by players who prefer a fast style of play and intense pressing. It is a formation that combines the advantages of the classic 4-4-2 with greater flexibility on the offensive, thanks to two offensive midfielders operating between the midfield line and the attack. However, the 4-2-2-2 formation is not without cons. The lack of natural width on the wings means that players have to adapt their play, using offensively-minded wingbacks or dynamic offensive midfielders coming down the flanks.
