Endgame, also known as Futties season, has arrived in EA FC 24, and Ultimate Team already seems to be quite different.
The Futties season is all about very good products that have very high ratings overall. A 99-rated Lionel Messi Team of the Tournament card is already available, and over the coming months, many more cards of this kind will be released. These cards, of course, provide certain formations more opportunities to rule the meta and win more games. The 4321 and 541 are unquestionably the finest offensive and defensive EA FC 24 formations, respectively. The options are rather obvious.
The ideal EA FC 24 lineup for Season 8
The Since the release of EA FC 24 in September 2023, 4321 has been a top-tier formation. Since then, Ultimate Team's new promo cards have already increased the system's power. This configuration is the ideal one to employ for the following two main reasons:
- In an attack, you use three ST/CF, which makes it difficult for any defense to handle. Additionally, one of the three CMs makes aggressive runs into the box during attacks. The shape changes to a 4-2-4 with the correct instructions.
- In defense, two of the three CMs stay back in defensive shape, while one of the three attackers falls back like a winger. This formation is ideal for your wingbacks to put on ‘stay back during attack’ instruction. Hence, the 4321 formation defends in a 442, adding to the defensive stability.
One other option if you're a good player is to use 100 defensive depth. In the current meta, this has become quite widespread, and many esports competitors competing in the Pro Championships followed suit. Keep in mind that using a line that high might also be rather dangerous.
The 4321 is the greatest option for Season 8 of EA FC 24, regardless of your choice of custom tactics.
The best defensive configuration for EA FC 24 in Season 8
When playing against elite players, it's critical to switch to defense when necessary. Once again, in the finale, the 541 is the best option. Although this configuration has a few limits in theory, the majority of them are eliminated by the items that are now being introduced in Ultimate Team.
First of all, you may now utilize wingers who are just as excellent as attackers in wider positions. Like many CBs nowadays, they have a passing playstyle+ that makes them essential components of the build-up. While it's preferable to avoid using a defensive formation like that for the whole game, moving to the 541 is a great way to end the battle.
