So, wipe off that sweat, shake off the doubt, and let’s get you back in the game where you belong on top.
1. Push The AI Opponents Out Wide
Tip number 1: push the AI opponents out wide.
First things first, you’ve got to play smart defense. The AI on Legendary Squad Battles is a tactical genius, always looking for that killer pass or shot. Your best bet is to push them out wide. This is because it’s easier to defend against crosses than it is to defend against intricate passing in the middle of the park.
When you push them wide, you’re essentially funneling the AI into less dangerous areas. This gives you a better chance to win the ball back without risking a direct shot on the goal. Plus, it’s easier to predict what the AI will do next, making it simpler for you to intercept or tackle.
It is certainly not easy to win back the ball. Before doing so, please buy FC 24 Coins to improve your player attributes. This way you can move different types of players around depending on the situation.
So, next time you’re on defense, remember to push them wide and let them make the first mistake.
2. Don’t Dive Into Tackles
Tip number 2: don’t dive into tackles.
It’s tempting to go in for that slide tackle and win the ball back heroically, but on FC 24 Legendary Squad Battles, that’s a one-way ticket to conceding a goal.

The AI is too smart and will easily dribble past you, leaving your defense exposed. Instead, focus on jockeying and containing the AI. Use the L2/LT button to jockey and keep your distance. This will allow you to stay in control and wait for the perfect moment to win the ball back.
Patience is key here. Let the AI make the first move and then capitalize on their mistakes.
3. Protect The Ball & Maintain Possession
Tip number 3: protect the ball and maintain possession.
On FC 24 Legendary Squad Battles, possession is nine-tenths of the law. The more you have the ball, the less likely the AI is to score. Simple math, right?
Use the L1/LB button to shield the ball and make smart passes. Don’t rush your play. Instead, focus on keeping the ball and waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
Remember, the AI can’t score if they don’t have the ball. So, make sure it’s safe passes and only go for the killer ball when you’re sure it’ll reach its target. This will frustrate the AI and force them to push higher up the pitch, creating space for you to exploit.
4. Maintain Defensive Structure
Tip number 4: maintain defensive structure.

Your defensive shape is your fortress. Don’t let it crumble. It’s tempting to pull out a Center Back (CB) to win the ball back, but resist the urge. Instead, use your Central Defensive Midfielder (CDM) to apply pressure and win the ball back.
By keeping your CBs in their natural positions, you maintain a solid defensive line that’s hard for the AI to break down. Trust your CDM to do the dirty work and let your CBs focus on clearing any danger that comes their way.
Strong defensive tactics are important, but so is improving your players. Although this process may cost you a lot of FUT 24 Coins, you will get unexpected surprises!
5. Speed Is Your Friend
Tip number 5: speed is your friend.
Speed kills, especially on EA FC 24 Legendary Squad Battles. Maybe you don’t have the best Wingers yet, but put what you have to good use and make sure your speediest players are on the wing.
Of course, if you have enough FC 24 Coins for sale, you can get more excellent players by purchasing FUT Packs or trading in the Transfer Market.
Use your Wingers to exploit the flanks and get behind slower Defenders. Once you’re in a good position, look for a pass across the box for an easy tap in.
Trying to play through the middle against a packed AI defense is like trying to run through a brick wall. It’s not going to happen. So, utilize your speedsters, stretch the play, and look for those cutbacks or low crosses to catch the AI off guard.
6. Utilize R1 Passing
Tip number 6, let’s talk about R1/RB Passing.
This is a game changer on FC 24 Legendary Squad Battles. These are quick driven passes that allow your forwards to run into space and help pull apart tight defenses. It’s like threading a needle, and it can be the difference between a stalemate and a glorious victory.

Use R1/RB Passing to quickly switch the play, send your Striker through on goal or even play a quick one, too. It’s a versatile tool that, when used correctly, can unlock even the most stubborn of defenses.
And there you have it – six tips that will turn you into a Legendary player in EA FC 24.
Remember, practice makes perfect. So, get out there, apply these tips, and start racking up those wins. Best of luck to you!
