Formations are the foundation of every good team. Today we will be focusing on which formations in the game are improve your tactical gameplay, and of course yourself.
Especially in Fifa Ultimate Team, this decision can be decisive. If you pick the right one, you climb up in the ranks more easily.
10. 4-2-3-1
Personally, this is my favorite formation. It is a highly defensive formation, but if you have fast midfielders and fast attackers in your team, you can break through your rival's half easily. You must instruct your 2 CDM to stay back while attacking. Lack of LM and RM can cause some inefficiency in the forward players. You ought to plan your attack.
- Defensive Superiority.
- You can control the ball if you are patient enough.
- Provides many position possibilities for your team to score.
9. 4-4-2 (2)
One of the well-known formations in the world of football is 4-4-2. It is simple, easy to organize, and effective. I have picked the two CDM version instead of CM because there is a big problem in defense mechanics in the game. (You are free to use the two CM version) so with this 2 CDM, you can cover cut balls before reaching your keep.
- Two strikers are a huge plus. One can combine them according to their stats.
- Wingers can make a difference in wide spaces if you can use them wisely.
- Defensive management of the game is in your control.
8. 4-2-2-2
On this system, you can dominate midfield with 2 CDM and with two CAM. The best side of this system is that it allows you to play with two strikers. You can use them as wingers to create space for your CAM. CDM can cut the passing lanes to break the opponent's game plan.
- You can possess the ball and dominate the match.
- More attacking options.
- Strong defense.
7. 5-3-2
One of the Meta formations in the game 5-3-2 closes your team against your opponents. Players who use this formation mostly use fast players like LB or RB as CB. I recommend you to know how to use them because they have low-DEF stats.
- Strong and dynamic defensive line.
- Three midfield players and two forward players make a difference.
- With the right tactics, you can keep your clean sheets.
6. 4-3-2-1
Instead of playing 4-3-3, I would recommend you this formation. Your wingers are active in the box. In 4-3-3 your wingers mostly stay off the box. In this setup, they find more chance in the box. Three central midfielders should contain a balance between attacking and defending. My advice is that two defensive and one attacking midfielder should cover your game.
- You can make good use of your wingers with instructions.
- Balanced gameplay.
- Midfielders have more free space to create chances.
5. 3-5-2
Instead of playing 4-3-3, I would recommend you this formation. Your wingers are active in the box. In 4-3-3 your wingers mostly stay off the box. In this setup, they find more chance in the box. Three central midfielders should contain a balance between attacking and defending. My advice is that two defensive and one attacking midfielder should cover your game.
- You can make good use of your wingers with instructions.
- Balanced gameplay.
- Midfielders have more free space to create chances.
4. 4-3-3- (4)
This variation of 4-3-3 is the meta one because two central midfielders and one attacking midfielder are the keys to this formation. You can balance it with one or two defensive midfielders.
- You have a balanced formation.
- You can choose a variety to have more attacking chances.
- Wingers and one striker can stay forward because of your crowded midfield.
3. 3-4-2-1
3-4-2-1 is the system for the professional players seeking to suffocate their opponents and score counter-attack goals.
Starting with this one could be audacious, as there are plenty of wide spaces for your opponent to attack. But it's common when leading a game for players to become very defensive, which presents less risk when going all-out with the 3-4-2-1.
- It is pretty effective if you can keep your opponent in his or her half.
- 3 CB are a setback for your defense, but you can cover the wings with four wingers.
- You are highly offensive in this setup.
2. 4-1-2-1-2 (2)
This formation had frequently used since it was the cup winner formation for Gorilla in the 2017 Fifa Interactive World Cup. Two CM who have positioned themselves close to the wings can give you a boost in attacking and defending. You can lock your opponent in his or her half and put high pressure on your opponent.
- Wide midfield control.
- You can use two strikers as wingers.
- You can instruct your CDM to cut the passing lanes to avoid any counter-attack situation.
1- 5-2-1-2
For the number 2 in our list, I have decided to use this formation. Lately, I have been seeing this formation in the weekend league and rivals. I tell you guys, this formation is insane. I had a hard time unlocking this formation's defense because five defenders with a high pace outnumbered my attackers.
- Your defense builds a wall on your goal.
- Two strikers and one CAM are efficient for attacking if you play smart.
- LWB and RWB can act as wingers.
These are the most meta formations in Fifa 2021. My favorite formation is the 4-2-3-1 formation. Let me indicate that the best formations are the ones you play well.
