Things to consider: It should go without saying that you’ll need two high-class wingers to make this formation work, so make sure they’re there before setting out with this formation. So the second 4-3-3, with its CDM supporting the two CMs, is useful for players who want to be a counter-attacking team with real purpose. There are five 4-3-3 variants in FIFA 18, but exercising caution first is not a bad way to go about it. Player instructions: You have relative carte blanche with this one, but setting full-backs to ‘Stay Back While Attacking’ will ensure you have complete control of the match. Two big lumps up front might not work either, but this formation is so fluid that as long as you make accommodations elsewhere, you could still be a potent threat. If you find yourself getting countered down the right, for example, then you might want to pick a LB with a lower attacking work-rate. What to avoid: The beauty of this is that there isn’t a lot you can mess up.
The beauty of this is that there isn’t a lot you can mess up The CDM, though, is the most important player in this formation: without a strong presence it all falls apart.
Things to consider: You’re going to want two flying wingers to complement the CAM, otherwise things will be looking pretty static in the final third. You won’t be left wanting in any department with a wide 4-1-2-1-2 (the narrow version isn’t the best) and, when coupled with player instructions, you can adapt on the fly (or, rather, while paused). This is a great formation for keeping things nice and balanced. Specific player instructions: One of RF/LF set to ‘Stay Central’ to act as an auxiliary strike partner all three CBs to have Normal or Conservative Interceptions one of CMs set to ‘Stay Back While Attacking’ wingers set to ‘Come Back on Defence’ and ‘Stay Wide’. Leave the responsibility to that front three – and try not to play too slowly, otherwise you’ll find attacking chances in short supply. Things to avoid: Aggressive CBs will be the death of you here, as will CMs who like one marauding run too many. Also, if you’re playing Ultimate Team, it may be difficult to come across many LF and RFs. What to consider: It’s possible to completely throw caution to the wind but, ideally, you’ll want more defensive-minded wingers to counter-attack the smogarsboard of swashbuckling attacking talent at your disposal.
If 5-2-1-2 is the Tony Pulis of formations (focusing heavily on counter-attacks), then 3-4-2-1 is its swaggering, Guardiola-esque cousin.Īggressive CBs will be the death of you here, as will CMs who like one marauding run too many It helps that, this one at least, is very effective at overwhelming opposition defences. Specific player instructions: Both wing-backs should have Attacking Runs to ‘Always Overlap’ the centre of the back three’s Interceptions set to ‘Aggressive Interceptions’ CAM to ‘Free Roam’ and ‘Stay Forward’ one striker (if you wish) set to ‘Run in Behind’.Īnother back three - sorry, they’re just really in vogue right now. Two pacey strikers likely won’t work in this formation either, as you’ll be left with a lot of runners and not many bodies directly in front of you.
Not only will they force your team to play deeper, they’re also likely to be a lot slower so you’ll be overwhelmed in the centre of the park. Things to avoid: Stay clear of defensive-minded CMs like the plague. Elsewhere, most of your attacking play is going to come through your CAM, so make sure he’s a great dribbler or can lay out those diagonal balls to the onrushing full-backs. What to consider: This formation doesn’t work without wing-backs who have high work-rate and stamina attributes, so they’re a must. Most of your attacking play is going to come through your CAM, so make sure he’s a great dribbler or can lay out those diagonal balls to onrushing full-backs
