Want more wins in Weekend League – These tips could change your game, With Team of the Season (TOTS) just around the corner, EA FC 25 players are hunting for every competitive edge possible—and content creator and gameplay coach NilGazU has delivered a game-changing guide. Whether you’re pushing for 11 wins or dreaming of Elite, the advice here will boost your win rate and transform your approach to Weekend League. From optimized tactics to psychology and squad management, here’s how to dominate the sweatiest weeks of the year.
Want more wins in Weekend League : These tips could change your game ?
Use the right tactics — but only if they suit you
Many players rely too heavily on copying meta tactics without fully understanding them. NilGazU recommends using the tactics you’re already comfortable with rather than rushing to adapt new setups just before TOTS. That said, he insists every Weekend League squad should include a variation of the 4-2-1-3 formation for balanced defense and counterattacking strength. Pair it with a 4-4-2 or 4-2-4 pressing system for versatility under pressure.
Other options like the 4-1-2-1-2 (narrow), 4-2-3-1 (both variations), and 4-3-2-1 are valid, but personal familiarity trumps popularity. Changing tactics on the day of the Weekend League is a common mistake. “Don’t see a pro dropping 20-0 and switch setups mid-league. Stick to what you’ve practiced,” he warns.
Plan your games — and avoid Friday 6 PM chaos
If there’s one piece of advice most neglected by casual players, it’s this: spread out your matches. Playing all 15 games in a binge session ruins concentration and performance. Instead, split games into bursts of 3, take breaks after losses, and avoid grinding when emotions run high.
Statistically, most players underperform by 1–2 wins during high-stakes weekends. If you’re used to finishing 11 wins, prepare for 9 or 10. Fatigue, frustration, and sweatier matchmaking during Premier League TOTS weeks are very real. Avoid playing at launch time — especially Friday 6 PM. Instead, play during off-peak hours and make use of Division Rivals as warm-up sessions before diving into WL games.
“If you lose, stop,” NilGazU stresses. “Don’t chase wins when you’re tilted.” Keeping your composure, resetting mentally, and preparing properly between matches will save you from free-fall losses that wreck your weekend progress.
90 sprint speed minimum — don’t get left behind
Pace is king. According to NilGazU, every outfield player — especially fullbacks and attackers — should have at least 90 sprint speed without chemistry styles. Players like Bambito, Kai Havertz, or evolved cards like Faser and Bick can offer top-tier pace at low cost or from previous evolutions. If you followed his evolution advice, you likely already own some of the top-tier cards for this meta.
Forget what pros use. “They could play with deflated balls and still win,” he jokes. But for the average player, 80 sprint speed won’t cut it — not when you’re reacting to 90+ sprint speed strikers triggering runs. “You need margin for error,” he explains. Shadow or Hunter chemistry styles are a must, but the base sprint speed is your foundation.
And it’s not just for starters. Your super subs should also be explosive. Cards with 95+ pace and natural finishing make the perfect impact players. Just remember: subs get zero chemistry boosts, so raw stats matter more than linked synergy. Good sub roles include two central midfielders, two wingers, one striker, and one fullback or center back with high pace for emergencies.
Practice smart and manage expectations
Before jumping into the Weekend League, play a couple of warm-up games in Division Rivals. This helps reset your muscle memory and gives you time to ensure all tactics and roles are working. Even if you’re already in Elite Division, Rivals is still the perfect sandbox to test and adapt without risking your WL record.
NilGazU emphasizes the importance of locking in your tactics by Thursday or Friday. Don’t try a fresh tactic mid-weekend because a YouTuber went 20-0 with it. Your ELO will balance itself out. “Stick to what works. Even if you start 3-2 instead of 5-0, you’ll climb if you stay consistent.”
And remember — this TOTS is sweaty. Expect more hardcore players returning, competitive matchmaking, and tight games. “Some of my rank one friends are back now and grinding. Be prepared for extra stress. This is the most intense WL of the year,” he says.

His guarantee: get better in a month or your money back. If you’re serious about getting from Division 10 to Elite, it’s one of the few trusted coaching resources built for real improvement.
