Hey fellas, I'm back!
Back again with FIFA custom team tactics to hopefully improve your gaming experience. Most of you most likely know the drill—look at the spreadsheet below and input the tactics into your game.
The tactics don't have as great of an effect this year as past years, but they still seem to add something, so I didn't want to not post them. The spreadsheet is not completely finished yet, but it will be at some point.
For those of you who are not sure of what these are, there is a FAQ section below. Have questions? Just ask!

What exactly are these?
These are settings to input for teams in the game, so that when you play the AI, you’re playing against them. They’re not settings for the user to use to have an edge against online opponents, or the AI.
These are Custom Team Tacics, which are set in the Edit Teams or Team Sheets section of the game. The goal of these tactics is to make the AI play more realistically. The original goal of these many years ago was to get the AI to play slower. To not just pass the ball directly up the field, and to actually build an attack, just like a team in real life would.
[team name] is my favorite team, and those settings don’t reflect how they play. Why?
None of these are meant to be perfect, and some of them are more guesses than actual estimations. If you see a team that has the wrong tactic assigned to it, politely note that, and I can change it in the spreadsheet if it warrants it.
Remember, the main goal of these is for teams to play in a realistic manner, not exactly play precisely like their real world counterpart. We want teams to play in a realistic style, and if we can also make them play like they do in real life, great. I have no interest in breaking down mountains of stats to show that team A should not always play like team B. As nerdy as I am about making these, even I just want to stop and enjoy the game at some point.
Where do I find them?
Located in the Google spreadsheet at the above link.
Are these needed to enjoy the game?
I certainly think so. Although this year the effects of them are less than before, they still add something to the game that is missing, which is teams playing differently from one another. When you play Arsenal, you shouldn’t have more possession than them most of the time. When you play West Ham, you should have to watch out for them hitting you on counter attacks, and so on and so forth.
Do these need sliders with them?
They don’t have to, but I strongly suggest it. If you’re not playing the game with custom sliders, you’re not getting the best experience possible. I highly suggest using
Matt10’s World Class or Legendary sliders. Matt did tons of testing, and has landed on some great sets.
How do I put these into the game?
Edit teams in the Edit Teams or Team Sheets section. The issue with this year's game is that you can not save a tactic, and then select another team to use it. You either have to create the team sheets for each tactic, and then apply that team sheet to other teams, or you go into each team and edit their default team sheet to have the correct tactic.
Note, if you're creating new team sheets, make sure you select that one as the "favorite", so the AI uses it when playing against them.
Why is there an error in the spreadsheet? Team A was relegated last year, and should not be in that league.
I often do these later at night, therefore I’m tired and make mistakes. Notice a mistake in the spreadsheet? Please let me know!
How do I make sure my squads don’t get overwritten?
Always save two copies of your custom squad file. When you’re doing editing tactics, save your squad file. Then, save that file again under a different name. This ensures that both of your custom squad files will never accidentally be overwritten.
Is there an easier way to input these?
Nope. But, once you do it once, you’re all done.
Does each tactic have a certain name?
I have named them this year, but they’re not yet in the spreadsheet. So, in the future, it might be easier to talk about certain tactics.
Are these really “Official”?
I don’t know, are they?

Could you also look into CTT for national teams?
