FC Mobile Formations: The Ultimate Guide

Last updated December 6, 2023 9 Comments

The formation you choose for your team in the EA Sports FC Mobile (previously FIFA Mobile) can significantly influence your success in beating your opponent in Versus Attack (VSA), Head to Head (H2H), or Manager Mode.

However, it’s worth noting that a formation that works well in VSA may not necessarily perform as well in H2H and Manager Mode, and the same applies in reverse. Your choice of formation should be tailored to the specific mode of play.

In Versus Attack (VSA) mode, an effective formation is one where the first touch of the ball is relatively close to the goal. This approach increases the speed and likelihood of scoring opportunities.

On the other hand, in Head to Head (H2H) or versus AI Matches, a formation that is optimal for counter-attacks tends to be more successful. Why? We will explain it later.

In this post, we will cover everything you need to know about formations in EAS FC Mobile. We’ll present a comprehensive list of formations, guide you on how to change formations, and recommend the best formations for VSA Attack mode and Head to Head mode, among other things.

How to Change Formation

How to change formation on FC Mobile is very easy. Here’s how to do it:

  1. From the Main Screen, go to the ‘My Team‘ menu.
  2. Click the Formation icon in the bottom right.
  3. Then, click ‘select‘ in the formation that you want to use.
  4. Done.

Most Used Formations

The most used formations in FC Mobile are :

  • 352
  • 3412
  • 433 Attack
  • 424
  • 451

Best Formations in VS Attack Mode

The best formations in FC Mobile for VSA Mode are 352 and 3412. The reason behind this is that these formations are well-balanced between attack and defense.

The 352 formation is more defensive with two additional CDMs, while 3412 is more offensive with two additional CMs. Use two CDMs with good defensive stats when using the 352 formation, and use two CMs with good offensive stats when using the 3412 formation.

A little note, EA often tweaks formations regularly, so don’t always stick to our guide above. When there is a change in the formation that you usually play, do tests and search for information as much as you can in the forums or social media about changes that may be done by EA.

Best Formations in H2H Mode

While on VSA the best formations are 3 ATB with 3 Center Backs, in H2H the best formations are 4 and 5 ATB.

The reason behind this is that on H2H, many users exploit the wide area using pacey wingers to make crossing passes, so using 3 ATB is not effective enough to block it because the defense is focused only on the center side. On the other hand, by using 4 or 5 ATBs, the wide area will be covered by full-backs to prevent spam crossing/crossing abusers.

Best Formations vs AI Matches

This season’s AI matches are pretty easy to beat. Any formation was effective against them.

If you want to beat AI in matches more easily, use a Mourinho-style strategy. Just sit deep then do counterattacks. Let the opponent attack and ambush them in our defensive area, then do counterattack tactics with pacey strikers or wingers.

That being said, the most appropriate formations for this tactic are 4222, 433 Attack, or 4231.

Hopefully, this guide will be useful for you. Don’t forget to check our other guides regarding Rank Up and how to train Players.

      I think it depends on the player’s OVR. I would say if it is below a 95 or 97 then use different because you wont really be able to find a lot of players that are good that don’t cost a lot of coins

    Last month I used 3412 but wanna try 343 since Leon Bailey LW out with 122 pace and still I kept Orsic 90 with 116 pace. So is 343 also good for vsa?
