This FIFA 22 game guide contains all the information you need to start playing this extremely popular game from EA Sports. The detailed information and tips in our guide explain the most important game mechanics, teach you how to play defense and offense, and help you develop your club in FUT 22 mode.

Our FIFA 22 guide is divided into two large sections. The first section is somewhat of a guide to the basics of the game FIFA 22 and it includes the beginner's guide, which contains essential information for all new players. On separate pages of this chapter, we also cover other important matters like crossing, free kicks and set pieces. After reading this chapter, you will also learn how to play defense effectively and how to properly create offensive actions.

The second part of this FIFA 22 guide is entirely dedicated to the most popular game mode, FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. The first chapter can be treated as a beginner's guide to the FUT 22 mode. In addition to beginner's tips, we've also included advice on team management, trading, information on the transfer market, the FUT Web App, the FIFA 22 Companion mobile app and tips for earning money.

A crucial section of this FIFA 22 game guide is the chapter containing sample starting squads in the FUT 22 mode. There you will find pre-made squads for the top football leagues, including the Premier League, La Liga and the Bundesliga. In a separate section, we list and describe all the best formations in FUT 22 to help you find the perfect strategy to compliment your play-style.

In the next big chapter of this section, we list all the Icons, the TOP 100 players in FUT 22, as well as the best players from all the major football leagues: Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1. We have listed the best players from each country in FUT 22 on a separate page of this chapter.

Another extensive chapter is the FAQ, which contains answers to frequently asked questions, such as when to claim rewards for the various game modes: FUT Champions, Division Rivals or Squad Battles, and how to achieve full chemistry in your squad.

FIFA 22: Quick beginner's guide

Passing: in FIFA 22 you can use different types of passes (short, long, ground, lob, etc.), but each of these requires the correct strength and timing so as not to disrupt the flow;
Crosses: the classic lob cross is in many cases the best way to get the ball into the opponent's penalty area. Remember not to use too much force;
Offense: use various opportunities to break down your opponent's defense and get inside their penalty area when creating offensive actions. Combine short and long passes with wall passes and through passes to change the pace of the game and find a gap in the opponent's defense;
Defense: defensive play is probably the most difficult aspect of FIFA 22, as you have to be very careful not to foul players running into your penalty area. The standard technique of stealing the ball is the safest play, which very rarely results in the referee's whistle - just remember to try to intercept the ball only when you are close to the opponent;
Shooting: in FIFA 22 there are various shooting techniques (finesse, flair, chip, etc.), but the classic power shot is frequently the most effective. Just remember to use the right amount of force and choose the right direction so the ball lands in the goal and doesn't hit the post;
Sprint: the constant use of sprinting not only tires players quickly, but also reduces control of the ball, which can lead to losses. Careful use of sprinting is especially important in the midfield, where the player density is the highest;
Free kicks: during the game's set pieces, always try to pass to a player who turned away from the defenders. For free kicks, choose players who excel at finesse shots.
