Federico Valverde and EA FC 25 cover star Jude Bellingham will play as the two central midfielders, with Aurelien Tchouameni being the defensive midfielder.

The defense will be comprised of Ferland Mendy on the left, Dani Carvajal on the right, alongside Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao as the two centre-backs. Belgian shotstopper Thibaut Courtois will be the goalkeeper.

Kylian Mbappe should be set as an Advanced Forward++, with Vinicius Jr. being a balanced Inside Forward++ and Rodrygo being a balanced Inside Forward+. This will allow gamers to crowd their opponent's box with attackers for easy opportunities.

Valverde has to be set as an attacking Playmaker++, with Bellingham being a balanced Box to Box player and Aurelien Tchouameni being Holding+ midfielder. These roles will provide a healthy balance to the midfield, with all three Real Madrid players covering different areas of the pitch.

In defense, Mendy will play as a balanced Wingback+, Carvajal will play as a balanced Wingback++, and Rudiger will take on the Defender++ role, with Eder Militao serving in the Ball Playing centre-back+ role. With this system, gamers will have plenty of width with their fullbacks to assist the attackers, while also helping out in defense. Thibaut Courtois will play as the Sweeper Keeper++.
