Player Instructions

Next, let's break down the player instructions of this 4-5-1(2) formation.

Goalkeeper: First of all, you can choose EA FC 24 Coins Peter Schmeichel as the Goalkeeper, and set him on Sweeper Keeper so that he will try to catch the ball before the opponent touches it.

Backs: For the Right Back, set the instruction on Stay Back While Attacking and Overlap, and it's the same for the Left Back. For Center Backs, I also recommend having Stay Back While Attacking. I think these are the best setting in this formation.

Midfielders: In midfield, I want to maintain a 4-4-2 defensive shape while leading and transition to a 4-5-1 when controlling the game. Thus, I instruct the Left Midfielder to Stay Forward and Stay Wide to act as a Left Forward or Striker in a 4-4-2, while the Right Midfielder stays back while attacking and covers the wing, providing defensive support.

For the center midfielders, you can instruct them to stay back while attacking and cover the center to maintain defensive solidity. The Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM) is instructed to Come Back and Stay Wide, allowing for diverse attacking options.

Striker: Finally, for the Striker, I highly recommend picking Ronaldo who are really famous and powerful. You can instruct him to Drift Wide and Come Back On Defense to maintain pressure without dropping too deep.

Regarding substitutions, I typically bring on Cristiano Ronaldo for Aerial physical presence, William Saliba or Jude Bellingham for defensive reinforcement, and R9 for attacking variation. In terms of potential substitutes, players like Nuno Mendes, Marcus Thuram are notable options. Marcus Thuram, in particular, stands out for his attributes and playStyle.

Final Thought

This formation aim to prevent the opponent from easily penetrating our half and invite pressure. I believe they are effective for TOTS Weekend League matches, especially with a strong team. This tactical strategy enables the formation of dynamic attacking triangles, facilitating easier access to both the wings and the center, thereby increasing the chances of scoring goals.

That wraps my 4-5-1(2) formation settings, and I think they are fantastic. Please use them in the TOTS Weekend League and I'll be very happy if you like them. The players also play an important role in this formation, don't forget to enhance their abilities. Hope you have a wonderful gaming experience!

Hi, fellow players! Welcome back to another EA FC 24 formation guide. I'm glad to see you're enjoying the Team of the Season event. Today, I'll be delving into the 5-2-1-2 formation that can be used in the Weekend League. If you're curious about how it works, let's dive in and take a closer look.

Custom Tactics

To start off the defensive tactics, the Defensive Style remains balanced, as always. Then The defensive Width is set at 30, allowing for a nice and narrow defensive line of 5. Depth is maintained at 50.

Move to the offensive tactics, the Build Up Play is balanced, with Direct Passing as the preferred method, a strategy akin to what you've likely encountered in various formations. Offensive Width stands at 50, ensuring adequate width provided by the Wing Backs, a crucial aspect we'll address in the player instructions shortly.

Then the Players In Box is set at 7, despite the 5-back setup.buy EAFC 24 Coins  This formation isn't defensively minded. In fact, it's arguably the most attacking among similar formations. The Corner is set at 2, with Free Kicks at 1, but these are both personal preference.
