The young Pep Guardiola disciples are in luck in EA FC 25, with this year's title offering a more in-depth tactical experience than ever before.

The introduction of FC IQ, EA Sports' new tactical system, allows players greater control over how their team functions, making formation choices and, most importantly, player roles more significant than in previous iterations.

However, shaping your tactical vision can be overwhelming, especially given certain systems are unlikely to be effective in-game against the very best opposition.

With that in mind, here are the best custom tactics to use on EA FC 25 to ensure success.
