We are back with another EA FC 25 guide, and today we are going to talk about the 4-2-13 formation. There are currently many formation and tactic codes that are quite good in the game.

However, the 4-2-1-3 will do some magic, if you can properly tweak the changes. You can easily dominate your opponents and boost your win rate. This was first posted on Futfc. Let’s check out more details in this article.

Why Choose 4-2-1-3?

After the post-patch, the five back-formations have mostly gone useless. Since then, the 4-2-1-3 formation has become quite common and famous among the pros and many other users. It’s especially effective against teams that use a five-back system, giving a difficult-to-break balance while enabling exciting attacking moves.

The Mechanics Behind the Formation

• Build-up Play: Use short passes to maintain control and create tight passing triangles, keeping the ball away from the opposition in EA FC 25.
• Defensive Structure: A defensive breadth of 70 promotes compactness while not being too tight, making it difficult for opponents to locate passing channels through your defense.

Ea FC 25 guide: Player Roles

• Fullbacks: Set to “Balanced,” allowing them to help assaults while also performing defensive duties.
• Center Backs: Keep in “Standard Defend” mode to prevent counterattacks.
• Central Defensive Midfielders (CDMs): Use the “Holding and Defend” role to create a strong midfield shield, which is essential for interceptions and transitions.
• Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM): As a “Playmaker,” this midfielder dictates the game’s tempo by setting up plays with precise through balls.
• Wingers: Both should be “Inside Forwards”, with the right winger “Roaming” to cut inside for shots and the left balanced for width.
• Striker: An “Advanced Forward” who plays the “Attack” role to stay forward and finish movements.
