The long awaited Manager mode is finally playable in the Global Edition of and to Sports most popular football title, FIFA Mobile 22. FIFA fans can finally try out this brand new game mode that could potentially open a new dimension to the already vast world of the franchise. In this FIFA mobile guide, we will discuss the new manager mode added in the game, the tactics you can choose in a given game situation to progress in the divisions, the formations that best suit these tactics, and share some useful tips and tricks for users to be an ace in this mode.
Introducing the new Manager mode
As the name suggests, in the Manager mode of FIFA Mobile 22, you have to take on the role of a Manager and lead his team to victory in games in autoplay mode, i.e. your team will be controlled by the AI and will play according to the Tactics and lineups that you decide at the start of the game. However, you can also change Tactics in the middle of an ongoing game if you deem it necessary given the game situation.
For example, let’s say you’re playing a Attack game and the opposing team just scored against you. The score count reads 2-1 at 88th minute. Now, as a Manager, you have to decide whether to continue with the same strategy or switch to Defensive tactics so as to cancel the risk of granting another.
It’s a Player vs. Player (PVP Mode) and is accessible from the Division Rivals menu in the game along with, Head to head (H2H) And VS Attack (VSA). The Division Progression methodology is also similar in all three. When you start winning games in Manager mode, you move up the Division Rival leaderboard. Cumulative rewards are earned in the form of Star Pass and coins. The rewards amplify with each Division you climb. However, unlike Head-to-Head and VS Attack modes, you cannot participate in the game as a player. You can only watch your team play according to your own plans.
Divisions in Manager mode
Divisions are nothing more than the levels of progression that one must pass in order to be promoted to Manager mode. You will be rewarded with 3 points for winning a Division match, 1 point for a draw and none for a loss. You need to accumulate a certain amount of points depending on your current division in order to be eligible for a promotion.
You must reach the limit points within 10 games, otherwise you stay in that division. In addition to points, you also receive a certain amount of Star Passes and coins after winning, depending on the current division. The division labels are similar to the others Division rival counterparties that is, H2H and VSA. Here are the divisions from the bottom up.

Understanding the tactics of Manager mode
Tactics are all in Manager mode. They are nothing more than the game plan you go out with, in a given game. Just as mentioned above, FIFA Mobile 22’s new Manager mode allows you to dynamically plan your strategy and change your favorite tactic in half, based on the game situation. To help users with their strategy, FIFA Mobile has provided a number of preset tactics that can be used in the game. Let us know about them in detail.
1. Attack tactics
You can choose this tactic if you want to come out with an aggressive approach beforehand. Your players will not be in organized positions and will try to penetrate through open spaces. This is a high-risk tactic as your players would tend to do this build the attack with long / passing passes this could sometimes give the ball to your opponents and could leave your defense exposed as your defenders would also remain on the high lines (i.e. in midfield position) trying to press / mark opposing forwards closely, leaving your midfielders out of position. This would keep the possibilities of a counterattack open.
When you are using the Attacking strategy, your players would have a free positioning And aggressive mentality. You can also change the Back-Line stroke to Offside trap so that when the opposing attacker is in a counterattack race, your defense rises in unison and leaves the attacker in an offside position. We will discuss all of these traits in detail when we talk about custom tactics.
Using the attack tactic
You can use an Attack strategy when confronted with a weaker opposition. You can also switch to an attack tactic sometime in 2nd half when your team is unable to score.
2. Control tactics
It is nothing but the Possession game tactic that your side would try to have increased ball possession and attack enhancement through the wings with short passes to negate the chances of missed passes. That is, your players will patiently wait for that one chance to break through the opponent’s defense.
When you choose the Control tactics of your team The mentality is balanced and your players remain in Organized positions during Stacking, unlike the Attack tactic.
Using the control tactic
One should use the Control Tactic if and only if he has players in his roster who can formally adopt that style of play. In this context, FC Barcelona players are somewhat adept at playing this style. So, if you have FC Barcelona players in your squad or players from any other club who are well suited to the Possession Game style of play, you can use this tactic.
3. Counter-tactics
In Counter Tactic, your team wouldn’t care about ball possession e just sit down and wait for them to get hold of it. Once they have regained possession, they would try to hit long balls to open spaces directly at your attacker’s feet.
When you choose Counter Tactic, all of your players would tend to retreat and play with a Defensive Mindset.
Using counter tactics
One should sswitch to Counterattack strategy when the opposition team adopts an aggressive approach and tends to Attack from the start. This would not only strengthen your defense but also bring you the odd goals when the opponent loses the ball. When you opt for Counter Strategy, make sure your 11’s midfielders and forwards can have fast runs.
4. Defensive tactics
The defensive tactic is exclusively to stay active Defensive and limiting the offensive attacks of your opposing team. Your players will all pull back and invade the defensive third of the pitch to prevent your opposing team from scoring. Your players will try to relieve the pressure by making long passes to your forwards every time you regain possession of the ball.
When you choose Counter Tactic, all of your players would tend to retreat and play with a Defensive Mindset.
Use defensive tactics
One should switch to a defensive strategy when confronted with invincible opponents. They could also switch to defensive tactics in the final moments of the game, when they have a small advantage and can’t afford to give up that advantage.
5. Custom tactics
You can also choose to customize your tactics to suit your team’s needs. The custom tactic is the one we suggest users to use, as you can make changes to the upgrade, attack and defense options or completely recondition them. We’ll discuss the various customizable options available below and give our suggestions on what you should set them up.
Choose the ideal custom tactics
Construction tactics
- Speed: It will decide how fast your players move the ball up while they are attacking. We advise users to keep it at the highest level as players would pass the ball faster in this scenario.
- Passage distance: This will decide whether your team will strengthen using short passes or long passes, for example, through passes. We recommend lowering this stretch by a level or two as this will reduce the chances of a missed pass.
- Mentality: Determine the mentality of your players on the pitch. Set it as Balanced at the beginning and change it according to the match situation.
- Positioning: Maintain positioning Free so that your players don’t hold their positions when they have a chance to break into open spaces.
Offensive tactics
- Pass rate: Reduce passing speed as it would make your player safer.
- Crossing rate: Determines how often your player will cross the ball from the wings. You can set it to Medium or High.
- Shooting rate: Keep this value on Medium to prevent your player from making long range shots as they have a very low conversion rate.
- Positioning: Set it to Free so that your wings can move freely and move inside to help your forwards, while your forwards can fall back or move onto the flanks to help midfielders given the situation of the game.
Defensive tactics
- Pressure: Set it to High to closely mark your opponents.
- Length: The area on either side of the field is known as the width. You can select it according to your preferences. For example, you can choose Wide if you want to engage your external opposition while you are on offense.
- Aggression: Denotes the tendency to contrast. Set it to medium.
- Backline: This is up to you again. You can set this to Offside Trap if you want your defense to rise in unison and leave the opposing attacker in an offside position when he is on the run.
Clearly, Custom tactics give us more control as a strategy maker as we can get a mix of all strategies. However, you need to revert your tactics to any of the default tactics as and when the situation calls for it. Also, please note that these are just our personal preferences and you can always customize the Settings to your own preferences.
Choose the ideal formation for each tactic
If tactics account for 50% of your winning games, your team formation accounts for the remaining 50%. Choosing the ideal Formation according to your favorite Tactic is equally important if you want to quickly move up the Divisions. Here is our take on what should be the ideal formation for each tactic.
Attack
If you want to play with the Attack tactic there may be two formations to choose from FIFA Mobile:
- 4-1-2-1-2 Wide: With two strikers to cross the ball with, the wide variation of this formation provides an offensive presence in wide areas. The opposition wings will have to work hard in defense if there is a strong offensive play along the flanks, which will reduce their attacking opportunities.
- 4-2-3-1 Strict: This should be the to-go option as it combines offensive strength with defensive cohesion. Four lines make up the 4-2-3-1 module. Two central defenders and two full backs make up the four defenders. Often referred to as a double pivot, two deeper central midfielders operate in front of the baseline. A lone striker is surrounded by an aggressive attacking midfielder as he advances.
Check
For Control Tactic, the 4-3-3 Here it is the ideal training. This is because you need to have 4 full backs and two wings trying to facilitate the Attack through the wings and looking for a cross opportunity to get the ball to your striker’s feet.
Counter
For the counter strategy, 4-5-1 it is the ideal training. This is why the pressure can come from two of the three midfielders, from the two outside or from both, it also adapts easily to the style of counterattack. The important thing is that the other central midfielder and the winger hold and support if a winger and a central midfielder press.
Defensive
The ideal training in this scenario is the 4-1-4-1 training. When the midfield four advance in a compact unit in a 4-1-4-1, direct pressure on opposing central defenders is simple to start n. As soon as this formation breaks, the players in the center rush to the opposing defense. Assuming a four defender, the lone striker effectively eliminates the second central defender from the game by blocking the side passes of the defenders.
FIFA Mobile 22 Manager Mode Tips and Tricks
In this section, we will discuss some helpful tips and tricks for FIFA fans so they can reach the FIFA Champion Division in no time.
1. S. bewitched to Counter Tactic when your opponent tries to attack early
Just like we said before, when someone devises an attack strategy, there are also cons. He could leave theirs Defense exposed when they lose possession because their midfielders would be out of position.
So when you see your opponent attacking aggressively from the start, simply switch to Counter Tactic and wait for that one opportunity where you can respond with a counterattack to the opposition.
2. Play with a control tactic only if you have the right players on your team
The control tactic mainly requires players who are technically very good with the Holding and Wing-Play formation. They also need to be good at strategy catch the ball and pass the ball. So choose this tactic only if you have the ideal team for this tactic, otherwise there are other options.
3. Switch to Attacking tactics in the second half of the game if your team is unable to score
Scoring goals is important if you want to win games. If you see that your team is unable to send one into the nets or is in a queue, switch to attack tactics in the 2nd half to remedy. You can also switch to the Attack tactic at the very beginning if you are paired with a weaker opposition.
4. Switch to defensive tactics when you are matched with a better opponent
When you are confronted with a better opponent than you, he / she will always try to dominate. In that scenario, you can switch to defensive tactics in order to prevent him from scoring. You can also switch to defensive tactics in the last moments of the match when you have a very small advantage and can’t afford to reveal it.
5. Use the training that best fits your strategy
We have already discussed which formation associates the best with a given strategy. Make sure you follow this as team formation also has a big impact on the outcome of the game. If you choose the Custom tactics and choose the Settings suggested by us, then the most suitable formations would be 4-5-1 and 4-2-3- 1. You can use anyone according to your convenience.
6. Keep automatic substitutions active before entering a match in manager mode
In Manager mode games, you cannot perform manual substitution. So it’s a good idea to keep automatic replacement enabled so that the the game suggests some substitutions in the 2nd half when some of your players run out of stamina.
You can always choose to cancel the substitution by tapping the cross button next to the suggested substitution if you don’t want to substitute that player.
