How to recreate Arsène Wenger’s “invincible” Arsenal in EA FC 26

Arsenal under Mikel Arteta has been one of the most exciting teams in English football with full of pressing, control, and attacking flair. Yet, despite coming close, they’ve still struggled to secure major silverware, with the Premier League and Champions League remaining just out of reach. This contrasts sharply with their past glory under Arsène Wenger, who guided the club to an “Invincible” Premier League season in 2003–04, going unbeaten across 38 games.

Wenger’s Arsenal was known for fast, expressive football built on technical excellence, intelligent movement, and creative balance. Now, in EA FC 26 Career Mode, you can try to rebuild that iconic, unstoppable Wenger squad with modern-day players.

Formation and tactics to build Arsène Wenger’s “invincible” Arsenal

Wenger made the 4-2-2 fluid with interchanging roles and intelligent movement, contrasting with Sir Alex Ferguson’s rigid system at Man Utd. The same shape still works perfectly in EA FC 26 if built around mobility, quick passing, and positional balance.

Player Roles and Instructions:

• GK: Sweeper Keeper (Balanced)
• RB: Fullback (Balanced)
• RCB: Defender (Balanced)

• LCM: Holding (Defend)
