5. 4-3-3 (4)

Luis Suarez's Barcelona excel using this formation to score plenty of goals.

The 4-3-3 is a very common formation on FIFA games and it has a variety of variations. The best variation for attacking on FIFA 20 must be the 4-3-3 (4) as it replaces one CM with a CAM and here is why you must consider using it.

Having a CAM role means you can fit world-class attacking players, like Kevin De Bruyne, into your team with ease.
Having 2 wide players means you are a threat on the wings as well as centrally.
Having two CMs allows your fullbacks to also push up and join the attack as the CMs can cover them defensively.
If used correctly your fullbacks, wingers, and central midfielders on either side will connect in passing movements to break through your opponent’s backline with ease.

4. 4-1-2-1-2

CR7 would have a top striking partner in this attacking formation.

The 4-1-2-1-2 has been a popular formation for attacking players for years in past FIFA titles and FIFA 20 is no different. This tried and tested formation is a FIFA classic that is sure to get you plenty of goals and wins on FIFA 20.

Having 2 strikers and 2 wide midfielders means that you can attack from the wings or from the middle. Meaning your opponent never knows what you will do next.
Having a CAM means that whenever one of your attacking players makes a run you will have a quality player that can pick them out with a quality pass.
Any formation with 2 strikers is great for counter-attacking but the 4-1-2-1-2 adds a CAM to make it the best.
The CDM is also often left unmarked by your opponent so they can be an attacking threat with long shots.

3. 5-2-2-1

Lionel Messi would make a great goalscoring RW in this formation.

A 5 at the back formation may not seem as though it belongs on this list. However, the 5-2-2-1 formation has 3 attacking players in the form of 1 striker and 2 wingers. Therefore, when combined with the fullbacks, that can attack more because there are 3 CBs, this formation offers a massive attacking threat that some others simply don’t.

Having 3 central defenders means that your fullbacks can push up and join the attack.
Having 3 central defenders also means that your attackers can stay upfield, which is great for counter-attacks.
A high-quality box to box central midfielder, such as Moussa Sissoko, can also offer an attacking threat.
A team with 5 defenders will also win the ball back more quickly, meaning you can attack more often.

1. 3-4-3

With this formation you can build an attacking trio as good if not better than Liverpools.

No other formation could top this list for the simple fact that the 3-4-3 has to be the best attacking formation because it has the most attackers. A combination of 2 wingers and 2 wide midfielders means that you can overload the wings to overload your opponent. You will have no trouble scoring with this formation on FIFA 20.

Having 2 wingers and 2 wide midfielders ensures that your opponent’s box will always have plenty of your players in it, waiting to score from crosses.
Having the wingers next to the striker and wide midfielders ensures that they can play one-two passes to get in behind with ease.
Having so many attacking players means you can have a variety of styles in each position, for example, one quick winger and one slow larger one.
It also allows you to use slower wide midfielders with better passing statistics, such as Henrikh Mkhitaryan, more effectively as they will have more space in which to operate.
