Here are the best Tactical Visions in EA FC 24 Career Mode:

Gengenpress

Embrace your inner Klopp with the Gengenpress

If you’re a fan of Jurgen Klopp’s heavy metal brand of football, then Gengenpress is the best Tactical Vision for you in EA FC 24. This setup relies on high pressing and winning the ball back in the final third to generate most of its goals.

While this means you might play a lot of the match without the ball, if you close down defenders effectively virtually all of your chances will be in dangerous positions. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that this playstyle suits teams with plenty of stamina and might require a tweak to the Training Plan so players can meet the demands.

Gengenpressing is also one of the more enjoyable tactical setups you can go for. It demands an all-action approach in every phase of play and sharp passing exchanges between your frontmen. If you hammer the philosophy into your side, you’ll be able to rake in plenty of silverware.

Counter Attack

Counter Attack Tactical Vision in EA FC 24 Career Mode
Counter Attack is ideal for teams who like to absorb pressure.

If you’re starting at a lower-league team, Counter Attack is the best Tactical Vision in EA FC 24. This low-risk, high-reward strategy invites the opponent to attack and asks your defenders to soak up plenty of pressure before quickly hitting them on break.

The low block is ideal for those who aren’t confident with defending this year since it gets plenty of players back to help out and close the space. Meanwhile, as the other team commits bodies forward, you can easily exploit the gaps with a couple of well-placed through balls and a pacey striker.

Tiki Taka

Tiki Take helps you play like prime Barcelona.

For those who like to keep the ball in EA FC 24 and retain possession, Tiki Taka is the best Tactical Vision in Career Mode. Inspired by the great Barcelona and Spain teams from the mid to late-2000s, this system is all about keeping position.

By using plenty of short, quick passes to drag defenders out of position, the playmakers in your team can thread the ball through those gaps to create big chances. It also wears the opposition down and depletes their stamina, making it easier to find space as the match goes on.

Besides controlling games, your side can put together some lovely passing combinations that’ll have the crowd scream “Ole” whenever the ball is kicked.

There you have it! They were the best Tactical Visions in EA FC 24 Manager Career Mode, so be sure to choose wisely at the start of your next save.
