1. Tip: Choose a wide formation with fast wingers
Which formations are the strongest? In our article on the best formations and tactics for the start, we already presented you with some strong setups. The centerpiece and the key positions of these formations are the offensive flanks.
With the new OP dribbling in EA FC 24, it’s extremely difficult to defend fast and dribbling-strong players. You can best exploit this when your wingers spread the game wide and basically stand on the touchline.
However, even the best individual players are of no use if you don’t have a good game structure because the ball first needs to reach the flanks. To help you play forward skillfully, we have another tip for you.
2. Tip: Play one-twos to combine forward
How do one-twos work? One-twos are also a proven method in EA FC 24 to play aesthetically forward. For this, just hold the L1 button on the Playstation or the LB button on the Xbox during a pass.
If executed, the player who played the ball will immediately make a run forward to potentially receive the ball again. This creates constant new passing options in the offensive play.
However, caution is advised when you have possession with your center-backs. You should only push them forward in an absolute emergency, such as facing a potential defeat.
3. Tip: Be patient in building up the game
That’s why you should take your time with the buildup: It’s understandable that you want to play forward as quickly as possible to score goals. However, it is advantageous to combine slowly forward because the more players you involve in your attacking play, the more options you will have in front of the goal.
Patience pays off especially when you are pressed aggressively by the opponent, which is the case in most games of EA FC 24. Don’t do your opponent the favor of passing the ball directly into the pressing, but choose the way through your defender or goalkeeper.
Once you’ve created some space and air, you should try to advance into a specific area in the opponent’s half.
4. Tip: Go to the goal line and play back
Why should I go to the goal line? The goal of your passing sequences should always be the opponent’s goal line. From here, there is the opportunity to pass into the space behind the defenders.
This tactic is very effective, as attackers usually position themselves intelligently in the back area to wait for the flat pass. If your pass reaches your teammate, often it’s enough to simply tap the shoot button to overcome the opposing goalkeeper.
However, if your opponent defends well, you may have difficulty making the pass into the back area. In this case, you shouldn’t hesitate to simply shoot at the goal.
Further down, we’ll show you how to utilize different shooting techniques to your advantage.
5. Tip: Use different types of shots situationally
Which shots are the most effective? In a separate article, we have extensively presented to you the different types of shots in EA FC 24. Above all, curled shots and outside-of-the-foot shots are extremely effective, as they give your shots spin to bend the ball past the keeper into the goal.
Therefore, if your opponent has adjusted to your passes into the back area, you can either pull inside from the outside and look for a finish or decide on a long-range shot. Both variants are a good means to achieve scoring success with the mentioned shots.
You should always aim for the far corner with the strong foot of your player. Situationally, following this principle, you’ll choose an outside-of-the-foot shot with the L2 button on the Playstation or the LT button on the Xbox, or a curled shot with R1 on the Playstation or RB on the Xbox.
But also the power shot promises great scoring danger this year. We have summarized for you the players at a glance who can execute power shots particularly well.
