4-1-2-1-2 (Wide) EA FC 25 Tactics
Starts in a 4-1-2-1-2. Wirtz and Yamal try to play good crosses to Haaland and Mbappe, who often help each other offensively, while Foden shoots long shots from outside the box and dribbles in as well as plays short often, acting as a mobile attacking force. Defensively, Davies and Frimpong come up when wingers cut in and play switches with Rice coming in as a 3rd center-back/CDM so they attack in more of a 3-4-1-2 or a 3-5-2. Foden or Wirtz comes back on defense to fill in for Rice as he moves back to make it a 5-1-2-2

Short Passing
Players will come short to support the ball carrier rather than make forward runs. This more cautious approach allows the team to maintain their defensive shape for longer during the transition.
