I’ve tried this last night after stumbling across it and I have noticed such a difference, not conceding as many goals and actually controlling games with possession and generally beating a high press. A great video and insight
this video is what i needed 2 days back... figured it out and running the exact same tactics for the past 2 days now and the game is alot better... feels good to figure it out without a yt video tbh :) the formation and the tactics works ppl listen to this man, he is the best!
I tried 4222 after playing 4231 for as long as I can remember, and was wondering why I couldn’t create anything. The CAM is essential for me to tiki taka the ball forward in triangles
Every year Neal makes the best tactic videos. Especially his 4231 . He's the reason I switched to 4231. Took me a while to get used to it buy its all I use now. It used to frustrate me
I find your videos incredibly helpful, thanks for making them! The only issue I have is using low depth. Since I swapped to 39, I found it hard to get out of my half and I was actually having to defend my box a lot more (which is what I'm worst at) so I just kept losing game after game. Subsequently, I've pushed it up to 72 depth (for the auto off-side and press) and I'm winning more games now while playing mostly in my opponent's half, which I find much more fun.
play a 433, put "stay out wide" on your wingers, put the offensive width ~65+ and play L1+Y passes on your wingers, works the best if you play the L1+Y pass across the field.
Personally i like high depth. Thats so much more fun than sitting back. Play as your like but i hope more ppl try playing in a offensive way...much more enjoyable
when i feel like m being high pressed alot i shift to a 523 formation and just win the ball deep in my half and play it to either winger for a counter attack... the opponent doesnt expect it and is left with a weak defense.. try it if you get bored of trying everything else
Not a formation but try using woman players at fullbacks and also one female cdm, they are more agile and you can dribble yourself better out of press. It's stupid but that's just how the game is.
High pressing attacking game is exactly the way the game should be tbh, I would much rather the meta was high press and attacking than a low depth drop back meta
OK, so I've got these tactics in for a few games now, and here's what's happening to me. First, my CAM is coming back on defense, even though I have them on stay forward. It's not overriding anything here, and (it's Alex Morgan) she's coming right back to the top of the box, and then just sitting around there while I try to progress. If I trigger runs on my forwards, their back line does. not. move. So my players go offsides. Meanwhile, their team blitzkreigs me, and send my back 4 sprinting toward my own goal, giving their strikers ACRES of space. All the time. Forget these formation videos, tell me how to either bomb the field and drag their center backs, or how to stop it. Everything else is window dressing when their players are just flying at me and no one keeping up.
I’ve tried these tactics and the defending videos, but in career mode it doesn’t work (for me) My team stays compact and defends well but as soon as they concede they all run all over the place, the attackers run at 100mph and straight past all my players and my defenders stop even trying. So damn frustrating.
Hey Neal, lots of vids already out on your channel thanks appreciate it. now for the weekly tactics is it possible to give like 2 options because of everyone having different teams and stuff like myself I'm playing Seasons and not FUT. so let's say I'm playing Real Madrid for example. with 4231 well RAM doesn't have a real Striker really like I can do 41212 or 433 but like 4231? kinda impossible to fit with RAM but yea thanks for the vids please keep em coming.
I must admit my team is worth alot.. but im unbeatable with this formation! Thank you so much! GK Alison CB Diaz and Carlos Puyol. LA Robertson RA Alexander Arnold CDM Casemiro CDM Declan Rice Cam Bruno Fernandes Cam Laudrup Cam Ødegaard ST Nunez evolutions Still have 497.681 left for upgrades.... Played 4 won them all!

Will this stil be good if i use the 4-2-3-1(2) with the LM/RM instead of wide cams? I have fast and technical players that can play LM/RM but only 1 that can play CAM to the standard and i would prefer him as the central CAM
I might be wrong on this but, since i'm still learning how to defend properly i feel like 39 depth hurts me more than having lets say 45-55. I understand the reason for it and most likely Neal is right once you start playing people so much better than us . But i really struggle with how passive and deep the defensive line is . Maybe a lot of people gonna realize this and i find that having a little bit of press from my players actually helps me more in the learning curve . I actually change in game to a 39 depth formation lets say at 70min if i m winning to try to close the game
why do you change depth (39 -> 46) and chance creation (forward runs -> possession) from the beginning of the video at the end? which one is better? thanks!
These video’s helping me out a lot!! Triggering your players with L1/LB should really be the first thing that your implement to your gameplay if you aren’t already. Never knew about this but once u start using it you immediately see why its so powerful
@@yamanersun538 Thats not what I mean. LAM or RAM jut dont exist in the game, at least on PS5, is it different on PC? I cant use players as Foden, Martinelli etc. Becouse they would be out of position. I have to use CAMs in this formation
@@yamanersun538 yes, Thats right but its not what I mean. LAM/RAM position just doesnt exist in the game. At least not on PS5. Is it different on PC version? I cant use players as Martinelli , Saka, Foden etc. It have to be CAM. Otherwise players are out of the position.
@@MrKulisty bro you can use another formation as your balanced tactic. you dont have to customize that balanced tactic. for example you can use 433(4) as your starter formation which has lw, rw and cam. then press L3 and go to cusom tactics. press L2 in custom tactics screen and choose attacking or defensive tactic. copy these tactics down in one of them. once you are in a match you can change your gameplay to attacking or defensive by tapping the right or left keypad (the arrows), and your formation will change to that without getting off chem. hope this helps.
Thanks for the video. I have a problem with the L1 trigger run you mentioned though. It doesn’t work in rivals and champions mode but it works in squad battle how can I fix it?
I have been watching your videos for a few years now, personally i just cant sit back im to impatient 😅 I just like to press so it would be good if you could upload a few high press/attacking formations. Im using the 4231 but with a 71 depth and pressure after possession lost and it just feels good and enjoyable. I just hate sitting back haha
new to fifa been seeing some of these tips and practicing...still not even coming close to getting any wins blow out every time very discouraging to get started.
Forget about it bro, if you try to play real football no chance is just a video game that rewards gaming habits adhd meta stuff, trust me quit it because its addictive like slots because of the pack opponening stuff, quit it, its very frustrating and unenjoyable and you will rarely if ever meet new players, all old addicts that will beat you with glitched game mechanics, trust me, quit it
@@BibleLessonsWithHumor yeah am learning a little the skill gap is still pretty crazy. won 4 of my last 20. Big part is defense I feel I can get the ball up decently and have opportunities every game now, but I cannot stop the opponents defense to save my life.
So once we think we are ready for manual calls, should we switch on 60/46/balanced/possession/50 instead of 45/39/long ball/forward runs/55 like showed at the end of the video (9:48)?
I think inception made that video regarding 4321 formation. I usually use single striker so I tried that one and it’s pretty good as well. U can try it out
Neal your 4-3-2-1 tactic where you defend in a 4-4-2 was obe of the most enjoyyable tactics for me. This year it does not work cause there is no drop into defence instruction. Any intention of still trying to recreate that one?
after 6 years of consistency with 3-5-2 it feels very difficult to do now if you play in the 5th division and above...and in Champions fut...maybe it's time to change to 4-2-3-1....btw.. .R1 hold is shit gameplay...EA made this dribbling shit...
Yeah I think its a skill issue cus everyone is using 4231 all pros included have it in their set up, if you cant defend/attack with this its skill issue

I tried your 4231 back in fifa22 and it took me from div7 to div4 so definitely gonna check this out
I also find to have the better dribbler/passer on deep lying playmaker helps dealing with the high press. Found Bernardo silva to be perfect for this!
Every single year, I come here to watch the 4-2-3-1 video. Works for me every time.

I agree the low depth doesn't work, defending in your own box is shit.
+1 to this. I set my depth to 72 and my R&LB to join the attack.
Highly recommend going with 71 depth if your above division 5. Totally changed the game for me.
100% need a counter video for stopping high pressure it’s impossible to stop or make space this year
Seriously. It’s nuts mate
The press is automatic if you take too long on the ball with your defenders the game presses you automatically, it’s one of the metas rn
All my oppenents using high press is driving me mad
Please find something to tackle high press
play a 433, put "stay out wide" on your wingers, put the offensive width ~65+ and play L1+Y passes on your wingers, works the best if you play the L1+Y pass across the field.

Thanks these tactics are helping me in defending and also creating good chances
Yo I was struggling in div 7 and I followed this tutorial and the skills one and it worked amazingly thank you so much you derseve a subscribe bro
Use them in div 2 and get slaughtered. Nice narrow formation for the big boys hugging the sidesline
Been using this formation for yearsss. Trying the 4222 as a second formation with the tactics
That Cruyff quote hits man different
Man I have to subscribe to your Patreon just for the videos you put out.
Thanks for saving my fifa experience
game makes sense again. thank you 🤝🏼💪🏼
best formations tutorial...always! Thanks bro
The one I was waiting for this formation always works for me
Is this for 4231 wide or narrow and which one is better to use
great tactics like always, are you playing this year on newgen or oldgen? I still kinda prefer old gen gameplay
433 2 finally is nice again. Playing like Arsenal with wingers stay wide and inverted fullbacks on balanced/attack so u always got 4/5 man back
Nice work mate but for a defensive one in my opinion, still prefer 4222 for example...
Cheer!
Works a dream thank you very much 👌
So far i have seen 3 meta formation from this guy. Decide one
I’ve tried these tactics and the defending videos, but in career mode it doesn’t work (for me)

can we get a full game plan formation and tactics please like defence and ultra or ultra attaking? great vid btw
That's what I want as he was editing the ultra defensive wasn't he??
@@chris4847did you ever figure out if this is the balanced or just the ultra defense settings?
Which formation is this in ultimate team? Is it the one that is marked ad 4231(2)?

When are we getting the annual 3-5-2 video?

hi neal really like your guides have u tried the new formation 4-2-1-3- yet would like to hear your thoughts
Same goes for 4-2-3-1(wide)??
I didn’t understand the instructions for MI and MD, they have 5 categories of instructions and right there is only showing 4
Is Bernardo Silva good for cam or RW.I know he's not the fastest but he has the technical+ playstyle.
direct passing is what every pro plays
For MI and MD what do I choose on offensive support and create opportunities?
I thought you said 4222 was most meta a few days ago ?
Thirs 3 all absolutely meta 4222 4231 442
Will this stil be good if i use the 4-2-3-1(2) with the LM/RM instead of wide cams? I have fast and technical players that can play LM/RM but only 1 that can play CAM to the standard and i would prefer him as the central CAM
When all tactics ? For all slots 😃
I packed untrad. Grizeman would you play him cam or st?

Yeah he must of got the depth wrong as it just opens a fat gap between the backline and CDMs leaving you open to every attack option under the sun
I play so bad that lost every match using these tactics
Because it is terrible and AI will sit idle lol. Only above 45 depth, AI will start pressing.
Switched to this from 3412 cause I felt too ratty lmfao
This is good Fr
I have KDB and Messi, Should i play KDB as CAM and Messi as RCAM/LCAM?
Fast players always at rcam and lcam. Put your slower player in cam.
You are the goat 🐐
Is it a 4231 NARROW or WIDE
Why did he do this for ultra defense? I was copying it but dont know what to do for the other modes now??
why do you change depth (39 -> 46) and chance creation (forward runs -> possession) from the beginning of the video at the end? which one is better? thanks!

Why did you create this tactic in ultra defensive instead of balanced or attack?
means nothing dw just a name

Cant see the penalty accuracy curser in fut champs play offs 😮
