Given the players and their attributes, a 4-3-3 Holding formation should work really well with Arsenal in EA FC 25. Kai Havertz has been chosen as the central striker, with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on the wings.

The midfield trio consists of Mikel Merino, Martin Odegaard, and Declan Rice. Behind them in the backline are Kieran Tierney and Ben White as wing-backs, Gabriel and William Saliba as center-backs, and David Raya as the goalkeeper.

Since the team is a bit compressed, choose the Short Passing Build-Up Style and set a High Defensive Line Height. Keep Havertz as Advanced Forward+ and set his Focus to Complete. Gabriel Martinelli should play the Winger role with Balanced Focus on the left, whereas Saka plays Inside Forward++ on the right, focusing on Attack.

In the midfield, Martin Odeegard should be set to Roaming as Playmaker++ to utilize his Passing and Dribbling prowess. Mikel Merino plays a Box-to-Box+ Center Mid on Balanced with Declan Rice as a Holding++ CDM focusing on defending.

Both Wingbacks should have a Balanced Focus; however, Tierney plays the Fullback role whereas Ben White takes up the Wingback+ role. Set the center-back pair's Focus on Defend with both Gabriel and Saliba in the Ball-Playing Defender+ role. Finally, assign David Raya Sweeper Keeper+ with a Balanced Focus.
