As with previous FIFA releases, if you\u2019re looking to get better at EA FC 24, using some of the best formations and best custom tactics will go a long way in helping you move up in Division Rivals<\/a> or Squad Battles<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

While we\u2019re only a week into the game, an FC 24 meta has already started developing\u00a0\u2013 and to no surprise, fast players<\/a> are still dominating.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what is the best formation to use? RadioTimes.com<\/a> has once again teamed up with pro coach NealGuides<\/a>, who runs his own FC school<\/a>, to help you stop smashing your controllers and start winning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best Formation in EA FC 24<\/b><\/h2>\n

The best formation in EA FC 24 is the 4-2-3-1<\/strong>, according to FC 24 pro coach NealGuides.<\/span><\/p>\n

This meta staple includes two CDMs, adding some much-needed protection for your back line, while the remaining four attacking players can quickly break forward when you win the ball.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the other top formations in the FC 24 meta are also:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 4-2-2-2<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 4-1-2-1-2<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 4-4-2<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 3-5-2<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You\u2019ll notice the above formations all have two strikers. NealGuides noted that some players have been having trouble with one striker, due to players parking the bus.<\/span><\/p>\n

    So, if you\u2019re having trouble with attacking, we\u2019d also suggest trying out formations with two strikers, such as a 4-2-2-2 or a 4-2-4 instead. <\/span>While uncommon nowadays in real football, the link-up play between two strikers helps break defenders apart.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In the video below, we can see NealGuides using a more traditional 4-4-2.<\/span><\/p>\n
