The 4-3-3 holding formation plays to Barça‘s current strengths, namely pace and fast transitional play FC 25 Coins. The side‘s front three of Memphis Depay, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Ousmane Dembele are easily one of the paciest attacking outfits in the entire game, meaning that there‘s an absolute necessity to exploit width and space as soon as the chance presents itself.

The 4-3-3 Attack formation is also a viable option, but Holding makes far more sense as it allows de Jong and Pedri to play as classic CMs while Busquets nails down his preferred CDM role.

For managers looking to switch things up a bit, there‘s absolutely nothing wrong with falling back on the hardly FC perennial of the 4-2-3-1. this time placing Memphis as the CAM alongside Ferran Torres at LW and Ousmane Dembele once again out wide on the right and Aubameyang up top, leaving de Jong and Busquets as the two holding midfielders.

For both formations, more experimental managers might consider putting de Jong at CB alongside Pique and allowing Pedri to come into the midfield, resulting in a net numerical gain of +1 (87+82 instead of 87+81) and allowing players to accommodate the young starlet of Barça‘s team. Be warned that de Jong‘s strength, jumping, and aggression are far behind Araujo‘s, so the decision shouldn‘t be made lightly.

The goalkeeper isn‘t a particularly tricky position to make a selection for and it requires little discussion. German international ter Stegen is easily one of the finest shot-stoppers in world football, and his inclusion is an unquestionable must. Brazilian Neto is a very decent backup thanks to his solid 81 rating but ter Stegen‘s mammoth overall total of 88 makes him one of the buy FIFA 25 Coins game‘s premier players. A nailed-on starter.
