For managers looking to be experimental, there‘s also a lot to be said for the 4-5-1. a similar formation to the recommended 4-3-3 that keeps the pivotal midfield trio of Modric, Kroos, and Casemiro as the team‘s core. Most other formations sacrifice this elite FC 25 Coins unit by attempting to push one of the midfield three too far forward, but the 4-5-1 plays to its players‘ strengths in a way that is similar to the 4-3-3 False Nine.
Both formations practically pick themselves in terms of the players used, the only real headaches coming in the form of whether to play the struggling Eden Hazard on the left over Vinicius Junior or whether to place Marco Asensio on the right wing over Federico Valverde. Neither switch affects an overall statistical change, so such decisions are often dictated by tactics, preference, and availability.
Of all the positions to pick, the goalkeeper must be the simplest of all. Belgian international Thibaut Courtois had shaken off a tricky debut season at Madrid to become arguably the finest keeper in the world, and his inclusion here is not up for a challenge. 23-year-old Ukrainian Andriy Lunin makes for a very decent backup, but Courtois‘s whopping 89 rating speaks for itself.
With Marcelo‘s time at Real Madrid sadly coming to an end, Ferland Mendy can rest easy knowing he has the left-back spot completely nailed down. The Frenchman doesn‘t necessarily take all of the headlines from his position in the back line, but he‘s proven himself a capable and explosively fast asset in defense.
Mendy‘s key attribute is unquestionably his lightning pace (91 acceleration and 92 sprint speed), but his stats are exceedingly well-balanced elsewhere. While nothing stands out as outstanding, pretty much every necessary attribute is well into the green, making Mendy a hugely valuable EA FC Coins for sale player without any glaring weaknesses or defects.
