  • Defensive Approach: Choose from Balanced, High, Aggressive, or Manual.

  • Player Roles: Adjust each player's role and focus. Look for roles marked with “++” for world-class proficiency. If a player isn’t fitting well into the system, consider finding an alternative that better suits your playing style.

Test, Test, and Test Again

Once you’ve set up your formation and tactics, it’s essential to test them out in-game:

  • Start with Squad Battles: This mode lets you adjust difficulty settings and become comfortable with your new formation.

  • Experiment with Ball Movement: Try shifting the ball up the wings or through the center to see which approach works best.

  • Evaluate Your Defence: Notice if your backline feels too exposed; if so, tweak player roles or adjust your defensive line accordingly.

Continual testing is the key to mastering this setup.
