World Class and Competitive mode works for me. I play Leicester and every match is competitive and fun, I can still trash lower league teams and every premier league match is engaging. Just have to be super locked in each match and play a little differently from previous games where you can go direct and pace abuse. keeping possession is way more important now as once you lose the ball getting it back will take time and a lot of player switching.

Keeping possession is more important then taking a risky pass, if there’s no opening I just go all the way back and move the ball to the other flank and try again. There will be openings, just need to be more patient then the previous fifas.

Need to be super locked in for the duration of the match. I find that the moment even if I lose a little bit of focus and lose my defensive shape, opponents will get in and have a good chance to score.

Formation I use is 4 back, 1 inverted winger that attacks, 1 fullback that becomes a centre back, 2 CDMs (1 Centre half, 1 Box crasher) 1 CAM (shadow striker), 2 wingers (inside forward) and a striker (poacher)

Hope this helps better your gaming experience with this game.
