With the removal of the 4-3-2-1 formation in EAFC 25, the new meta formation players are interested in is 4-5-1 (2).
Towards the end of EAFC 24, EA Sports announced the removal of the fan-favorite 4-3-2-1 formation, leading to an uproar. The 4-3-2-1 formation worked pretty well as it allowed players a lot of flexibility. However, with the onset of EAFC 25, players have found another favorable formation, the 4-5-1 (2) formation or 4-5-1 flat formation.
Best Tactics for 4-5-1 (2) Formation
The 4-5-1 (2) formation is similar to the 4-3-2-1 formation from EAFC 24. With the 4-3-2-1 formation, gamers had two center-forwards and a strike. It made the team more compact in the midfield, leading to a higher possession rate.
The 4-5-1 (2) formation has five midfielders, and the wide midfielders can be disguised as center-forwards with specific roles. Let us take a look at the best tactics for the 4-5-1 (2) formation.
