1. Speed Demon (S-Tier)
This build turns you into an unstoppable force on the counter-attack. Maxing out Pace (95) and Acceleration (93) creates separation that defenders simply can't match. Your Finishing stat of 88 ensures you convert most one-on-one chances.
The key is balancing your remaining points between Ball Control (82) and Stamina (85). You'll need that stamina for those lung-busting runs in the 80th minute. This build shines in online matches where opponents often commit too many players forward.
Best Formation: 4-3-3 with wingers Weakness: Struggles against packed defenses Pro Tip: Use R1+Square for quick one-twos to break through midfield lines

6. Set Piece King (B-Tier)

Game Mode Optimization: Career mode rewards balanced builds for versatility. Online ranked favors specialized builds that excel in specific areas.
Build Customization Tips
Start with these base templates, then adjust based on your playstyle. If you're struggling with finishing, sacrifice 5 points from less crucial stats to boost your shooting. Love nutmegging defenders? Bump up your skill moves rating.
The training mode lets you test builds without commitment. Spend 30 minutes with each build to understand their strengths and limitations. What looks good on paper doesn't always translate to match performance.
These builds represent months of testing across different skill levels and game modes. The Speed Demon and Technical Master consistently perform best, but your success ultimately depends on matching the build to your natural playing style. Start with the Balanced Pro if you're unsure, then gradually specialize as you discover your preferences.
