In this video, we’ll break down how to recreate Pep Guardiola's Manchester City tactics in EA FC 25. Guardiola has continued to evolve his tactical genius, using a 4-2-1-3 and a 3-1-2-1-3 system to dominate both defensively and offensively. Let’s dive into how you can replicate these formations to get the best out of your team in the game.

### Formation Overview

Preferred Formations: 4-2-1-3 and 3-1-2-1-3

Guardiola switches between these formations depending on the game situation. The 4-2-1-3 provides structure and balance, especially when building from the back, while the 3-1-2-1-3 gives City attacking overloads, particularly in transition.

### Defensive Setup

- **4-2-1-3 Defensive Shape**: In this formation, two defensive midfielders shield the back four, ensuring defensive stability while also being crucial in transitioning the ball forward. The high pressing is a key feature, with the front three leading the press, supported by the midfield trio, suffocating the opposition's build-up play.

- **3-1-2-1-3 Transition Shape**: When switching to the 3-1-2-1-3, the team becomes more aggressive in possession. The single holding midfielder covers the defense, while two central midfielders push higher to support the attack. This system allows Guardiola's team to control the midfield and press even more effectively, with three attackers staying high up the pitch.

### Midfield Dominance

- **Double Pivot in 4-2-1-3**: The two holding midfielders play a key role, both defensively and offensively. They protect the backline while also dictating play, distributing the ball either to the wingers or the advanced playmaker in the center.

- **Advanced Playmaker Role**: The central attacking midfielder (number 10) operates between the lines, creating space for the wide forwards and the striker. This player is pivotal in unlocking tight defenses, linking play, and providing key passes.

### Attacking Play

- **High and Wide Wingers**: In both systems, Guardiola's use of wingers is vital. These players stay high and wide, stretching the opposition defense to create space for central players to exploit. The wingers can either deliver dangerous crosses into the box or cut inside to create goal-scoring opportunities.

- **Overlapping Full-Backs**: In the 4-2-1-3, the full-backs often overlap to support the wide forwards, providing extra width and crossing opportunities. In the 3-1-2-1-3, one of the full-backs may join the midfield, while the other pushes higher up the pitch, becoming an auxiliary winger.

- **Fluid Forward Line**: The striker and wingers constantly interchange positions, keeping defenders guessing. The striker may drop deep to link play, while the wingers or attacking midfielder make runs in behind.

### Conclusion

In **"Pep Guardiola's Manchester City Tactics Recreated | EA FC 25,"** we’ve detailed how to implement his 4-2-1-3 and 3-1-2-1-3 systems. These tactics focus on high pressing, ball retention, and fluid attacking play. With these setups, you can dominate possession and overwhelm opponents, just like Manchester City under Pep Guardiola.

Good recreation of Pep's tactics but with your line ups you have a few players out of position. I created to line up where the players are in their right positions and most of them are in their + roles, while still achieving the real life ManCity tactics.

The first line up is as follows:

Line Up 1

Base Formation: 4-3-3 Holding

Ederson - Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol - Rodri - de Bruyne, Silva - Foden, Haaland, Grealish

Tactic 1: 3-2-2-3

GK: Ederson - GK Sweeper Keeper (Balanced) ++
RB: Walker - RB Fullback (Defend)
RCB: Dias - CB Stopper (Balanced) ++
LCB: Akanji - CB Ball-Playing Defender (Defend) +
LB: Gvardiol - LB Falseback (Defend) +
CDM: Rodri - CDM Deep-Lying Playmaker (Defend) ++
RCM: de Bruyne - CM Playmaker (Attack) +
LCM: Silva - CM Playmaker (Roaming)
RW: Foden - RW Inside Forward (Roaming) ++
ST: Haaland - ST Poacher (Attack) ++
LW: Grealish - LW Wide Playmaker (Attack) +

Looks roughly like this with the ball:

Grealish Haaland Foden
Silva de Bruyne
Gvardiol Rodri
Akanji Dias Walker
Ederson

Tactic 2: 3-1-2-1-3

GK: Ederson - GK Sweeper Keeper (Balanced) ++
RB: Walker - RB Fullback (Defend)
RCB: Dias - CB Stopper (Balanced) ++
LCB: Akanji - CB Ball-Playing Defender (Defend) +
LB: Gvardiol - LB Falseback (Balanced) +
CDM: Rodri - CDM Deep-Lying Playmaker (Defend) ++
RCM: de Bruyne - CM Halfwinger (Attack) ++
LCM: Silva - CM Playmaker (Roaming)
RW: Foden - RW Inside Forward (Roaming) ++
ST: Haaland - Poacher (Attack) ++
LW: Grealish - Wide Playmaker (Attack) +

Looks roughly like this with the ball:

Grealish Haaland Foden
Silva
Gvardiol de Bruyne
Rodri
Akanji Dias Walker
Ederson

I know this is way late but Manchester city have been paying the 433, 4231 and the 4141 as well. They really do use loads of formations which is confusing. Why do they need so many different formations its crazy
