In eFootball 2025, possession game is not just a tactic, it is creating a game where you control every move and force opponents to play at your rhythm.
Before I go into the step by step guide on how you can customize your play, let's quickly take a look on how possession game works:
Understanding How the Possession Game Works
Possession Game in eFootball 2025 is based on two key principles, which is staying compact and moving intelligently both when you have the ball and when you lose it.
Once you secure the ball and start your buildup, you will notice that your players stay tight and connected, not far from each other.
The nearest teammates are always toward the ball holder, positioning themselves for safe, short passing options.
Also, Your strikers and wide forwards won't just dash blindly into the back of defenders.
Finally, Deep defensive line. Defenders do not rush into attacks.
There are two player movements in efootball that is dependent on the possession.
- First, after gaining positions - players seems to come closer to the player on the ball in other to retain possession for a long time.
- Second, after losing possession - after losing the ball, players closer to the ball quickly run to put pressure on the opponent holding the ball.
Best Formations for Possession Game
Choosing the right formation helps you maximize the possession play style. For me personally, I use the 4-3-3 Holding formation, but you can try other similar formations like the 4-1-2-3 Narrow or the 4-2-3-1.
Player Attributes You Must Consider
Not every player fits a Possession Game play style, that is why you must focus on these key player attributes.

Tips to Enhance Your Possession Game ( from me to you )
- Always offer passing options: Do not leave your teammates isolated.
- Switch play more often: Keep your opponents guessing by moving the ball across the pitch.
- Stay calm even under pressure: Rushed passes often lead to turnovers.
