Best 343 tactics in EA FC 25

Much like previous entries in the franchise, EA FC 25 lets users lay out their teams in various formations. Out of the many available options, 343 is quite an interesting one. It has a solid defense, a midfield with wide options, and a traditional attacking front-three. However, along with using the best-suited players for a formation, this year's EA FC installment emphasizes the importance of tactics to a significant degree as well.

This has been implemented in the form of FC IQ, allowing users to set up individual Player Roles, a Build-Up Style, and a Defensive Approach for the team. In this article, we will take a look at the best custom tactics to use with the 343 formation in EA FC 25. These should be of help in all modes, such as Career Mode, Ultimate Team, and even Kick Off.

EA FC 25 guide: Best custom tactics to use with 343 formation

The 343 formation features a three-player backline consisting only of Center Backs (CB). This will be followed by four players in the midfield, comprising two Center Midfielders (CM), one Left Midfielder (LM), and a Right Midfielder (RM) to provide width in the middle zone.

Up front, as mentioned earlier, is a traditional three-player attacking setup having one central Striker, a Left Winger (LW), and a Right Winger (RW). Using a Balanced Build-Up Style and High Defensive Approach (with a Line Height of around 70) seems ideal for this setup.

EA FC 25 FC IQ Player Roles let you decide what each player will do on the pitch. There are quite a few options to choose from for each position, that is defense, midfield, attack, and even goalkeeping. Additionally, some players will have a Player Role+ or ++, indicating that they are great for that particular role.

As far as the 343 formation is concerned, assign your Striker the Poacher role with Attack Focus. Use LW as an Inside Forward with Balanced Focus, and RW as a Wide Playmaker with Attack Focus.

In the midfield, have the LM play as a Wide Midfielder with Balanced Focus, RM as an Inside Forward with Balanced Focus, one CM in the Box-to-Box role with Balanced Focus, and the other as a Deep-Lying Playmaker with Defend Focus.

Assign the left and right CBs Defender Player Roles and set their Focus to Defend. The central CB should also have Defend Focus, but in the Ball-Playing Defender role. As for the Goalkeeper, assign Sweeper Keeper and set Focus to Balanced.
