3 Best Arsenal Formations for EA FC 24

Explore the best Arsenal formations that will help you dominate EA FC 24 with the Gunners

Arsenal have had a remarkable 2022/23 season even though they could not add to their trophy cabinet. Securing a coveted second-place finish, the Gunners have clinched a Champions League spot after seven long years, making them a hot prospect for EA FC 24 players.

With many of their players receiving upgrades due to their success in the last season and the addition of some high-profile technical players, Arsenal is now a more tactically versatile team. As a result, selecting the best Arsenal formations for EA FC 24 is no straightforward task.

Let’s look at some of the best possible lineups for the Red and White in the new EA Sports soccer title.

EA FC 24 Best Arsenal Formations: 1. (4-3-3)

After three years of rebuilding, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has slowly moved away from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3. The Spaniard now has the tools to implement a 4-3-3, which helps the team create overloads in desirable areas of the pitch without being overly exposed defensively.

Goalkeeper: Aaron Ramsdale (84)

Mikel Arteta has favored David Raya over Aaron Ramsdale in recent matches. In EA FC 24, however, Ramsdale remains a superior pick over Raya. His rating is four points higher and they share the same PlayStyles. The England international also boasts better ratings in nearly every metric compared to his Spanish counterpart.

RB: Ben White (80)

Ben White is an automatic choice at right-back. We will ignore the RB experiment Arteta tried with Thomas Partey for right-side inversion, and stick to a more proven formula. White can seamlessly slot into any position within a back four and even fill in as a holding midfielder when needed. He, nevertheless, truly shines when deployed as the right-sided central defender in either a back three or four, where he can make the most of his strong right foot. His Long Ball PlayStyles will prove valuable during swift counter-attacks.

RCB: William Saliba (83)

Saliba, as a modern central defender, shines in his ability to control the ball. With a pace rating of 82, he is not the fastest defender in the game, but for a center-back, that is a very good number. He can deal with fast attackers well and is very useful in advancing the ball to forward channels. His Power Header Playstyle makes him a threat in front of the opposition goal, especially during set-piece situations.

LCB: Gabriel (84)

Gabriel and William Saliba have forged a successful CB partnership for the Gunners. In a four-man defense, they remain the first-choice Arsenal CB pairing. Since he comes with a Bruiser PlayStyles rating, he is very effective in physical duels. The Aerial PlayStyles enables him to deal with crosses flying into the Arsenal box from both flanks.

LB: Jurrien Timber (79)

This a controversial call, but we chose to play Jurrien Timber over natural LB Oleksandr Zinchenko because of his superior defensive abilities and better pace. While he lags significantly behind Zinchenko in passing ability, the Arsenal midfield we've assembled possesses enough flair to make up for this shortfall.

RCM: Martin Odegaard (87)

Arsenal’s highest-rated player in the game, their captain fantastic, occupies the right side of the midfield trident. He is the only 5-Star Skiller in the Arsenal squad, who has an Incisive Pass PlayStyles+ rating. The Norwegian is the creative hub of the Arsenal midfield, who can also find the back of the net, as his shooting statistics suggest.

CDM: Declan Rice (85)

Arsenal’s marquee summer signing Declan Rice wins the race for the sole CDM position in this system. The England international gets the nod ahead of Thomas Partey. While both players are rated 85, we pick Rice for his better physicality and agility, which is important to balance the midfield.

LCM: Kai Havertz (82)

Kai Havertz has been some sort of an enigma ever since he moved to the Premier League. There have been astonishing highs, of course, like the Champions League winning goal for Chelsea, but mostly it has been a story of unfulfilled potential. In the 4-3-3 Arsenal setup, we believe Kai Havertz can be a very good pick with his technical attributes

RW: Bukayo Saka (82)

Bukayo Saka is one of the most gifted right-wingers in the world right now. A genuine creative maestro, Saka excels at maneuvering into dangerous positions and unleashing lethal final passes since he boasts a Technical PlayStyles. His combination of finesse and technicality makes him a menace to the opposition backline.

FW: Gabriel Jesus (82)

Gabriel Jesus is a workhorse who is happy to perform all the off-the-ball movements Arteta demands from his center-forward. He has a decent range of PlayStyles, which makes him the perfect man in the Gunners squad to lead the line.

LW: Gabriel Martinelli (84)

Gabriel Martinelli takes up the left-wing spot. The Brazil international has emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in world football. His incredible pace and dribbling stats, coupled with his collection of impressive PlayStyles, make him an excellent pick in the Arsenal frontline.

EA FC 24 Best Arsenal Formations: 2. (4-2-3-1)

The 4-2-3-1 is a more conservative approach. You bring in an extra defensive midfielder to provide more protection to the backline. The shape is more compact, which makes it more difficult for the opposition to break down.

Goalkeeper: Aaron Ramsdale (84)

RB: Ben White (80)

RCB: William Saliba (83)

LCB: Gabriel (84)

LB: Jurrien Timber (79)

CDM: Declan Rice (85)

CDM: Jorginho (83)

Jorginho is our pick to partner Rice because of his excellent passing attributes. The Italian veteran also comes with a broader range of PlayStyles, which makes him crucial for ball progression in this system.

RW: Bukayo Saka (82)

CAM: Martin Odegaard (87)

LW: Gabriel Martinelli (84)

FW: Gabriel Jesus (82)

EA FC 24 Best Arsenal Formations: 3. (3-5-2)

If you want to deploy a three-man backline, we believe the Arsenal squad is better suited to a 3-5-2. Here’s how Arsenal can line up in a 3-5-2:

Goalkeeper: Aaron Ramsdale (84)

RCB: Ben White (80)

CB: William Saliba (83)

LCB: Gabriel (84)

CM: Declan Rice (85)

LCM: Jorginho (83)

CAM: Martin Odegaard (87)

RW: Bukayo Saka (82)

LW: Gabriel Martinelli (84)

FW: Gabriel Jesus (82)

FW: Leandro Trossard (81)

Leandro Trossard can excel when paired with Gabriel Jesus in the forward line. Trossard, a player with a four-skill rating and a commendable weak foot rating, also boasts a range of impressive PlayStyles attributes.
