Scouting and stacking the best players is simply not enough to win you titles in SFCC.

To win titles, you need to start using the Sega Football Club Champions' best formations with the correct formation combos. The formation affects how your players combine on the pitch, so you need to be picky when selecting, as one wrong move will cost you funds and sponsors

Ranking Factors

We have used the three most important factors to determine the best formations in Sega Football Club Champions. The formations will only work when your club plays with a certain approach while maintaining a balance in offence and defence. Also, you must have the players with the required playstyles to make the most out of the formation combo. Here is a detailed look at the factors.

• Approach: There are four types of approach in the game: React, Counter, Keep Moving and Hold the ball. Each formation favours a specific approach based on the positions where your players are positioned.
• Balance: This refers to the overall shape of the team on the field, where each player is entitled to play a role. The formation must be balanced with equal weightage on both offence and defence.
• Formation Combo: Each formation in the game has a ‘formation combo’, which boosts the stats of the players. It needs to be activated by using the correct positions, approach, formation and playstyle. You can find the right combo to use for each formation below. The Sega Football Club Champions Guide will help you better understand this new game in the town.

List of Sega Football Club Champions best Formations

We have compiled a comprehensive list of the Sega Football Club Champions' best formations that will help you dominate every phase of the match. You can start the match with one formation and change it later, depending on the objectivity. Nonetheless, most of the formations given below are balanced and will help you win more matches should you use the correct type of players:

4-4-2 (A)

This is a good to-go formation in the initial stages of the career mode. Using the free ‘Prime Scouting’ tickets available via daily login, you will eventually acquire a good CF, LM, RM and DM. These are the four most vital positions on the pitch in this formation.

The midfielders (RM and LM) are the lungs of the team, who need to be both offensively solid and defensively compact. The central pivot DM needs to be a higher-rated (at least silver 2-star player) as he is the only one shielding the defence line.

The team formation must include at least 12 players with the same approach, and you need to use a 4-4-2 formation combo to get bonus points on the overall rating. This is perfect balanced combo to begin as well as end the game.

4-3-3 (A)

The SFCC 4-3-3 formation is much more defensively compact. With 2 DMs and 4 defenders, you will leak fewer goals even against higher-rated oppositions. Make sure to use two CBs with a stopper playstyle. The full-backs can be offensive to give some attacking output. The two midfielders at the back can be both Markers or CMs or a combination of both.

If you are trying to protect a lead, use 2 markers as DMs, else play with a combo of both. Your wingers and CF need to be good so that they can finish off the limited chances created. You can switch to this formation to protect a lead or while trying to force a draw. The formation combo to use for this is the standard 4-3-3.

3-5-2 (B)

This formation is for those who believe attack is the best form of defence. With no fullbacks, the 3 central defenders are tasked to neutralise attacks while the 2 DMs (markers) are there to intercept passes and block the central lines. The RM and LM are tasked mostly with offensive utility, initiating attacks from either wing. There are 2 CFs in the opponent's box to capitalise on spaces.

The 5 at the front unit can unleash hordes of attacks. A combination of 2 dribblers, 1 winger and 1 Striker playstyle will help you score more goals. However, once you take the lead, you may need to switch to a more defensive formation to keep it intact. You can use the standard 3-5-2 formation combo with it to further boost the stats.

5-2-3 (B)

This is the ‘harmaball’ formation, and it works best with the ‘Counter’ Approach. In this setup, you have 3 CBs and 2 Fullbacks to defend your goal. There are 2 DMs, but you can use a combination of a ‘Marker’ and a ‘Central MF’ to channelise more attacks. Make sure you have fast-paced wingers and strikers to capitalise on the counters or breaks.

This formation is very useful when playing teams rated more than yours, as you can force a draw or steal a win. The formation combo to go for this is standard 5-2-3. Know about the best players to start your SFCC team to better use this formation.

3-6-1 (B)

This formation is for the brave hearts. While being extremely offensive, that gives you great goal-scoring chances, the defence may suffer due to a lack of numbers. The best way to utilise this formation is by using 2 stopper DMs with a Central MF. You need all your CBs to be of ‘Stopper’ playstyle.

This formation works best with the ‘hold the ball’ approach that allows your team to keep possession and decrease the chances of counters. The standard 3-6-1 formation combo is one to be used for this style.

4-4-2 (B)

This is one of the simplest yet effective formations in Sega Football Club Champions. It is very balanced, covering all the important positions on the pitch. Although it lacks an AM, the LM and RM are entrusted to be the creative playmakers for your team. The best part is that this formation blends with almost any approach. You can sit back and counter, hold the ball or even just react and play.

5-4-1 (A)

This is the best formation in the Sega Football Club Champions for beginners. It is compact, defensively solid and offensively reliable. It lacks wing play, and so most of the attacks run through the central channels. In the first season, you lack much funding and cannot afford expensive wingers; this formation will help you carry your team in any league.

This formation works well with all approaches. The standard 5-4-1 combo is the best formation combo for this style. Just ensure you have 2-3 good dribblers and strikers in the team.

4-5-1 (B)

This is the best formation in Sega Football Club Champions. This formation need not be changed mid-match just because it covers every position on the pitch. The downside to it is that you will need at least 2 good players for all the different positions to avoid fatigue.

This formation is balanced and uses a combination of 2 dribblers, 2 stoppers and 1 man marker and striker. It is also very versatile and can be used with any ‘approach’. The formation combo for this is the standard 4-5-1.
