German club Bayern Munich has mostly been a top performer in the Bundesliga, the UEFA Champions League, and more. The club’s dominating presence is reflected inEA Sports FC 24as well, with many players picking it up to go against top squads like Manchester City, FC Barcelona, and Liverpool, to name a few.
Updated June 18, 2025, by Amjad A. Asma:It has been a few months since EA Sports FC 24’s release, and Bayern Munich has upheld a strong showing in the Bundesliga. The Manuel Neuer-led team currently ranks second on the table, eight points behind Leverkusen and six ahead of Stuttgart. There have been instances where fans have been extremely disappointed with the roster’s performance, especially in the recent 3-0 loss against Leverkusen. However, the club still has great potential, and this is reflected in the player stats in EA Sports FC 24.
There have been multiple squad updates in the game cycle so far, and the latest one brought about some nerfs to reflect the real-world showing. Since Bayern Munich is one of the top clubs in the Bundesliga, and has a great following, it becomes important to take a look at the impactful stat changes.
The Best Formation For Bayern Munich In EA Sports FC 24
The developer has looked favorably upon Bayern Munich inEA Sports FC 24, and the team’s strong line-up allows both defensive and offensive players to have a good experience. The default formation chosen reflects the footballers’ real-world positions, tried-and-tested for top performance. As such, the 4-2-3-1 Wide will help gamers make the most out of the Starting 11.
While players can also choose to go with a 4-3-3 Attackdepending on their playstyle, this will have Coman and Sane playing as the wingers instead of in the mid-positions. Although they can adapt to the spot when required, playing in the middle spread comes more naturally to them.
Bayern Munich’s layout was different last season and may change with the next one, but the 4-2-3-1 formation is what plays to the team’s current strengths.
The Best Starting 11 For Bayern Munich In EA Sports FC 24
Bayern Munich’s overall rating and pace have decreased with the transfers earlier this year, especially with Sadio Mane to Al Nassr, Lucas Hernandez to PSG,Joao Cancelo moving back to Manchester City, and more. Nevertheless, the additions of Korad Laimer from RB Leipzig, Raphael Guerreiro from Borussia Dortmund, and most importantly, Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur, have kept the core strong.
Bayern Munich’s Starting 11 inEA Sports FC 24consists of veteran players who are skilled at ball control, passing, and creating plays, rather than chasing the ball and sprinting towards the goal. As such, the 4-2-3-1 formation strikes a good balance with offense and defense, with build-up being the play here instead of pacy attacks. However, beginners not used to excessive passing and dribbling can still make things work.
Kane fills in the role that Robert Lewandowski did for the club till two seasons ago and now does for FC Barcelona. Although Kane is not much of a runner, his finishing is quite good. The core team passing the ball around to create opportunities for Musiala and Kane has ensured Bayern Munich’s dominating presence. Although Coman and Sane do make runs, it’s mostly to ensure the ball reaches Musiala and Kane.
The good part of playing Bayern Munich inEA Sports FC 24is that the defense is strong enough to stand up to many opponents. Consider the presence of CDMs like Kimmich and Laimer: the two bring in important playstyles like Anticipate, Press Proven, Relentless, Bruiser, and many more. Kimmich comes with Long Ball PS+, which is incredibly helpful in retaliating against an opponent’s mistakes by crossing out to Sane and Coman, if not Musiala and Kane. Meanwhile, Laimer’s Block PS+ and Incisive Pass PS come in clutch in many situations.
The bad part of playing Bayern Munich inEA Sports FC 24is that the best chance at scoring is to give the ball to Kane. Now, this is bad because he is incredibly slow in the game, especially considering the speed that many CBs and wingbacks now possess. Until players become confident in their dribbling skills, it’s recommended to send Coman and Sane, down the wing to initiate attacks and lead time till Kane and Musiala make it to a good spot.Alphonso Davies is one of the fastest players inEA Sports FC 24, and he is great as a fullback.
Musiala has the Technical PS+, which will help clear the defense in crowded spots. Kane’s PS+ is Incisive Pass, not suitable for a finisher. He does come with great shot power and finishing and Trivela PS, so standard or Trivela shots are the way to go.
Further, Guerreiro is a very good replacement for Coman or Sane in the second half, especially considering the astonishingly low stamina the two come with. He also comes with a treasure trove of playstyles for Bayern Munich inEA Sports FC 24, including the Tiki Taka PS+, which can create amazing build-up plays.
