I have been playing this game since release, struggling to break lines and attack freely. I watched this video, everything made sense but then I thought no way the clips he has posted are from higher divisions people defending so badly. I hopped on the game hoping to replicate some of the ideas and to my surprise people actually start defending poorly once you execute the spaces correctly. Never enjoyed playing the game more, never have been happier to be proven wrong. Absolute beast of a video.
I literally can't thank you enough... Almost to the point where I feel like I wish your fc25 videos would get taken down 😂... I was stuck in a division and losing 90% of games, after watching your videos this morning, I've now been winning 90%. This is the only fc25 channel everyone should be watching. Thank you bro 👊🏾👊🏾
@@Six-bw3ir lol nah I'm being serious... This was the first upload of his I watched and it's changed the way I play entirely. I just use a different formation.
To be honest, i think most of my level of insight on pitch come from your vid on EA FC 24, all the vid ( watched it multiple times to learn more and understand the depth) you made me a good player, and this reminder / new perspective / relearning is a bliss, ty have a lovely day lad
Hi, i just watched the vid and played 2-3 games and with immediate effect felt a huge improvement in my attacking. I never comment or like vids but wow, I think this 10min of ur explanation really improve how I play and enjoy this game. Thank you so much 🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏼👏🏼
Just found your channel and the way you play is beatifull. I always respect someone that doesnt really follow the meta but just focuses on his own style of play. Hats off to you my friend!! You got a new subscriber
You a real one. As someone who also has played the game and coached the game; thanks for this, I've played the same way for years, relying on my tactics as they pertained to my personnel more so than skill moves, for example and have gotten to the Elite Div. I'm struggling a bit thus far early on so this is very appreciated.
first time seeing one of your videos bro and i’m a huge fan. when i see a man who is very good at the game playing consistently attractive football i have to respect it.
My bro so happy to that you uploaded today, I was watching your first video on passing & studying little bit of it piece by piece. What a coincidence, I was thinking of messaging you TODAY bro to ask if you going to UPLOAD in FC 25! And look LOL you did upload this! Your videos are unique, if you do have time try to upload more quality content, because 99% of people are BRAINWASHED by the META & they forget about the fundamentals!
Wish i saw this before my champs games but nonetheless this video really help wasnt happy with my gameplay and felt kinda lost till i try to apply what have been mentioned in the video its actually enjoyable now and there a step in the correct direction for me to learn more
I’ve always played slow and wait for opportunities to come but this video just made it 10x more better to understand and how to play it’s basically just L1 passing until you find an opening or an option but still be patient when waiting for an opportunity to open up. Great vid 💯
I know you think that tactics are just a suggestion but your 352 helped me a lot in improving my game. Could you please upload a 352 guide for ea fc 25?

I failed qualifiers twice and was struggling in rivals in div 6 playing after a gap year but this really helped I actually won some back to back games and kinda noticed that i was forcing my attacks and loosing ball which was resulting in conceding stupid goals. This is super helpful and please share some more tutorials/tactics.
@@syedomerzulfiqar5767 yea idk bro. i’m getting better just from practicing but it still feels impossible to move/turn or defend without feeling in the mud
1. Pass the ball to Mbappe or Vinicius 2. Spam L1/LB speed boost 3. Sweat it across goal or score instantly in a 1 v 1 versus GK. That's about it. No possible way to defend it.
You’re right bro, also this content creator is comparing FIFA 18 to this pile of garbage FC25 lmao. I hope nobody falls for this stuff, they’re two completely different games and play nothing alike!.
@@ballislife9924 Nah there isn’t a way to defend it, let me explain why: because when you press tackle the ball would keep on bouncing back to your opponent, it happened to me 3 times in a row when perfectly pressing tackle at a good angle.. then eventually he scored.. the game is broken rn.
@kiritokun-2078 You don't press tackle. I'm a 20-0 player (well, sometimes tbf), and I can defend it. Yeah, it's a very strong move, but most players try to abuse it and aren't really good with it. It's a strong move but not impossible to defend.
Totally appreciate your way of playing and always tried to play in such way earlier fifas, but personally i struggle playing it in EA FC 25, for the following reasons: - Passing the ball directly is very prone to misfit - Send a player through is difficult because they run into offside before the passing player even controls the ball - General ball control is super bad, every enemy is pressing constantly and you lose the ball quickly Dribbling or l1-sprinting with one player just seems more effective. Most goals are scored because of loosing the ball in build-up anyways, since high pressing is op. Either i loose or i win but dont have fun. That game is shit in my opinion.
Yeah, i'm definitely holding the ball at my feet a lot more this year as passing is inconsistent. Still playing successfully, but abit slower than earlier FIFAs.
I’m a huge fan of your videos…..they have helped me tremendously. The problem I’m having this FC is mechanically. I can see all the runs and spaces opening up but I can’t access them in time because I can’t dribble or I can’t one touch pass as quickly so the spaces closes and it’s back to square 1.
When im watching how you play, i just look at the players i want. Then you pass it to the third person and you even forget that there was a player🤣 Thats my problem, i cant make space and every game i have the feeling that my opponent has more space then myself. Im trying these tips next games!
This is a good video to an extent, the problem is a lot of these examples are bad as the defending is really poor. Many of these examples the opposition is charging his cb out at the attacker
Good attacking is by getting the defender to move out thinking he can win, FWIW i've had my worst start to any FC, but still sitting halfways to Elite in division 1 with a budget squad.
@bigfads8530 oh don't get me wrong the fundamentals are great, knowing where you're going before making a pass, facing the way you're passing, and scanning the pitch.... all great techniques to highlight. The biggest issue you'll face as an attacker i find in higher division is when players switch between 2 cms and never control their back 4/5. In this point your biggest weapons i think are timing L1 passes/runs and triggering L1 runs but changing the direction with R3. Good video none the less 👌
The thing is. Not every User has that high level of Input Response. The way you're playing requires good Input Response. But all you get is major Input delay. Was able to play the exact same way like this back in FIFA 22. But man since FC24. It's not the same
Im 100% sure that I can’t score the same goals you are scoring because of the terrible passing system. I tried multiple ways to fix it and it’s definitely the only thing that piss me off besides de input delay. They need to fix it ASAP
Please make more videos on this game mate... my defending is shit lol , im currently 2 and 9 in the weekend league and previous weekend league i went 5/10 . This game is just so frustrating , In EA fc 24 i was averaging 11/20 so i would have thought i would atleast be getting 7 wins but there is so much shit that happens in this game and i know mentality i have to just accept it but the mechanics of this game annoy me so much
The issue with me is I would do all the hard work and good passing plays to score a goal but then my opponent just plays one through ball and he scores an equaliser
In addition to the tips and strategies in your video, could you also please recommend a few skill moves that a novice/below average player should add to his gameplay? Thanks BigFads!
@@bigfads8530 Do you do FC Coaching/Gameplay Analysis? Can I send you one of my games for review/analysis and tips to improve? How much do you charge? Ty! 👍
4-2-4 and 3-5-2 are the tactics i use, but i throw everyone forwards. It's always easy to run through people that just move CDM's. Just wait for a gap and run straight in it.
No man, this year what they did to tactics has change the game completely. If you don't have right tactic with right players to execute it you will be smoked. It took me a week to find tactic that suites me and I'm confident to play with it. Yesterday I played a game and I got hammered by my oponent in the first 35 min, it was 0-4 I could do nothing to stop him. So I have change tactic and end result was 10-6 for me. This was my EURECA moment. I did not want to play FUT qualies before I crack the code for me. I got 4/5 in qualies it was close call to have 5/5 but defensive AI issues has cost me one lost game. It is not like on other years, this year tactic is absolutely crucial to give yourself a chance for a fair match, otherwise you will be smoked.
Hello! I want to be better at the game, so I saw your video. I’d like to say few thinks of my mind. I feel like when watching through the clips, that YOU always just have an option ready, there is not a scenario where your entirely cut off of passing options, and either your opponents are bad or something. While writing I lost 20/27 games today. I tried to get my players to run but to no “open space availability” even where I’m running opponents are predicting me. So at this point idk how to improve since comparing this gameplay to my own, I can’t see the options as you do. Overall good informative video but I’m just gonna be stuck Div 4
Focusing only on the ball is a mistake. You need to scan the pitch to make smart decisions. The improved physics make balance and momentum more realistic, and fixating on the ball makes you react late to the situation and lose balance and control. Also, skill moves aren’t for dashing through defenders; they are meant to confuse the defender by creating options and forcing the opponent to commit.
My issue right now seems to be that my players can’t make a first time pass this year. If i don’t take a touch, the pass will have low accuracy and speed. I have a hard time playing fast. How do you do it??
Passing is so bad this year, it’s doesn’t make sense how some passes are missplaced. I still play like that even though i know it doesn’t work (but should)
I was wondering if your philosophy always mean you have to play three at the back to create an extra passing option in attack? Also, do you always use co-op camera?
Not really, 3 back help uf playing patiently. I’ve played 4-2-4 with attacking wingbacks this year and last year. Same principles but more direct. The examples in the video are with a bunch of formations. Co-op makes it easier for me.
I have been playing this game since release, struggling to break lines and attack freely.

Thanks for these tips, i’ve always thought that passing too much was bad in this game but i should think of it as an advantage.
Depends on your reason for it. Passing for sake of it isn’t useful but having a plan makes it useful.
Amazing video bro! Really insightful and made me realize a bunch of errors I was doing
great explanation bro ..loved it.👏👏👏
The brilliant part of this video is all the fundamentals perfectly translate to pro clubs or rather any other game mode.

Focusing only on the ball is a mistake. You need to scan the pitch to make smart decisions. The improved physics make balance and momentum more realistic, and fixating on the ball makes you react late to the situation and lose balance and control. Also, skill moves aren’t for dashing through defenders; they are meant to confuse the defender by creating options and forcing the opponent to commit.
