I used to play 4231 in 19, but now, since the game is so op in counter attacks I like the 4222 more as it transitions from defense to attack in a second.
Thank for this nugget man, since changing I've gone up 200 rating. This formation is great for anyone who build methodically and the triangles are always there unless the game is prosecuting you
@@OfficialRG11 hey bro i have a couple questions (1)I'm using barca with this formation as u know suarez isn't fast wat instructions should i give him? (2)And who should i play in cam role between messi and griez? (3)is this the best formation to use for barca? (4) should i use these exact tactics and instructions? Im looking forward for a response to these questions I NEED HELP!!!
Last fifa I played was 18 and was a div 1 player. This fifa im losing every single game I'm playing. Used every single formation and still get slapped. People are just petrified of losing the ball and would rather pass back and back and back than take a risk it's boring as fuck
Kodiac you’re not only the one man :( in fifa 18 I’m always the top players in division one with incredible records. Now I’m stuck in division 5 bro. Every formation I’ve tried just gave me the same result :( it’s fucking boring.
Red Jammie Set your instructions to Drop Between Defenders on one of the CDM in a 4231 (Narrow) or 41212. He will drop deeper in defense which will give you 5 at the back. The CDM sits on that 6 yard ark allowing you to plug the middle
Drop between defender will make you even more solid in defence but it will give up space in the midfield and make it harder to link up to your CAMS because the gap between them will be even larger!
If your fullback loses possession trying to get forward don't you want your cdm's to cover the wings since there will be a huge space for the opponent to counter?
You can do but if you dms run out to the full back area, the whole of your midfield is wide open and then it forces you to control one of your CBS And if you do that.... Its game over unless you get a clutch tackle in!
Thank you for the great content. I used exactly the same tactics that you’re using. However, I usually set the ultra defensive mentality in any game, do you think is it a good way. I’m stuck in division 5-6 now :(. I used to be a division 1 players in fifa 18. Any advice from you would be great
Thanks man appreciate the kind words, Make sure you are using a formation that YOU Like not what is popular, also make sure yu have players that also YOU like not just because they are META
Does this mean you can set up as a 4-2-3-1 (2) wide formation on the squad page but then actually use the attacking instructions to avoid your chemistry dropping because you're using wingers in LAM and RAM positions?
Like this compo! Bro can ask you a question? Can i play with two cdm like one balanced def and the other one stay way back attacking? Love your vidz legend!!
Yes man you can do that if you want it to be a little bit more offensive! It will make you a little less rigid in defence but overall a little more attacking! Thank you bro!
Great video thanks! I've noticed the AI in career mode scores alot from crosses on the wings and have had to keep full backs back to counter or you leave them loads of space
Thats okay man not every formation suits every play style, just have to find one that works for you, hopefully i can help you find something this year! :)
RG11 I wrote this comment before I watched the whole video, what I was doing wrong was using fast build upp, then I heard u say that it ruins the formation so I used it like u showed it and it’s amazing to be honest. 98% of the time u are going to have somebody to pass
Just go with what you're most comfortable with. These formation guides are good but you still need to adopt a style that suits how you play the game. If you play fast build up normally then give that a try, if you play slow patient build up then try possession even. Every player plays the game a bit differently so go with what you feel you're best at yourself.
Each to their own my dudes! I found this tactic worked for me but everyone has things that work for them, make sure you always use something you feel comfortable with! if you like to play a slow possession style of play then using fast build up wont work for you, so always use something that is comfortable to your natural play style!
@@jordansayles12 did u solve ur problem? I had the same thing and found playing kick off from the main screen and adjusting ur controller settings in game, then go back into ultimate team and the arrows and movement are on.
is there a way so it automatically changes to LAM/RAM so you don’t have to manually switch formations at the start of the game. Also when you switch formations do you lose the the custom tactics from 4231(2) on the 4231
joseph mcnulty Custom tactics on your team you can change Ultra defensive-Defensive-Attacking-Ultra attacking. You can edit balanced to but this will be the formation you start with so if you are starting with lm and rm you must keep them in these positions on balanced, then switch mentality in game to the one you prefer
Bro amazing vid honestly this made me so much better! 🙌🙌🙌🙌💯 but so many people beat you by not being better no they beat u because they buy Fifa points and in turn get Fifa coins so their team is full of sweaty amazing players meanwhile I’m here with my 10k team 🌚🌚😡🤔🙌
And once someone realises you’re playing a 3 atb formation and know how to counter that, they’ll switch to a 433(4) and maybe sometimes 4321. 433 formation completely counters the 3 atb that’s why you have to be careful setting up that formation as more people are using it and more people are learning to counter it.
RG11 not exactly and issue but I’ve found this game that 2 strikers against a four back can leave the CB’s more vulnerable specially depending on the tactics and instructions you have on em
LyricsNep what I actually do could be worked out with that solution, I have in the 4-4-2 a striker that runs in behind but comes back on defense and another who stays forward but then plays as a false 9, this mixture seems to confuse a bit the CB’s marking and open some nice wholes in defense 👍🏻
Kyle Hector It depends on the game but I usually starts with 433 1 cdm 2 CMs it’s like having 3 strikers. If it’s not working I switch to the 442 and if that didn’t work I go for the 41212 narrow and if my opponent is really good and I think he will score at some point I go with the 4231 and play it safe
RG11 It is a good formation but for me I will only use it when I am playing against a better opponent or if i wanna close the game and play on counter I believe there is no point in using it if the opponent is not a pro
Is okay just game is broken headers are broke and you gotta be extra smart in passes or they will intercept everything ! Rebounds delay pass on first touch lol like honestly people need 2 sack for a update and fix all this
@@OfficialRG11 yea we can just wath fifa 21 comes out and we gotta learn all over because the mechanics are different that's all they do is change things in game is kinda bullshit this had been the worse fifa in years and I been playing since 2005 this game
Oh for sure my dude i agree it gets harder every year! But if it was impossible people wouldn't be getting the top scores in the same bullshit mechanics we have to play in too!
I don't like it. Tried it and it's extremely good for about the first 20 min of game time. By half time everyone is about to die of renal failure. Will work great if every player has 90 plus stamina
Problem is that the cams run WAY TOO MUCH for no reason. The central cam should really be floating around the halfway line just waiting for the ball to get the attack rolling but he sprints back on defense till he is around 1/3 up the pitch where he is told to be as per "stay forward". What actually needs to happen is the cam floats higher up and doesn't waste energy on his way back every time. 4 2 2 2 with false 9 on one striker and other set to get in behind works better for me. Lets you play messi or neymar at "cam" without them dying in 20 min.
@@AB21Nah, I specifically had an issue with it because I want to play messi on central cam. he has med/low work rate. In that spot he's dead at half time. And no it's not something I'm doing I've watched plenty of vids with "pros" playing the same thing with neymar messi etc on cam and they can only score in the first 20 min after that it's just defending all day since the cams are all broken. Stamina is super nerfed atm. I'm sure this is still the best formation but personally I don't like it. 4 2 2 2 with a false 9 achieves almost the same thing and saves a tonne of stam.
It probably also helps a lot if you build up slower and keep possession longer. Games where possession switches a lot force the cams to run back and forward all the time. I'm obviously no pro (division 4) and yea I lose possession a lot to stupid things so maybe that makes the formation worse. Even so I still don't think its THAT great. Before the stamina patch yes, but now not so much.
Yeah man you do need to have good stamina on your players, but that will be the same in any formation if you are playing on any sort of press your players will get drained. This formation is about build up play and not bombing it up the field fast! :)
Its not been negative for the sake of it, but if you try play aggro on FIFA 20 You get countered for days, so this is how to stop/minimise them counter s happening to you guys!

"Drop between defenders" made the 4231 even more OP
please elaborate
Red Jammie Set your instructions to Drop Between Defenders on one of the CDM in a 4231 (Narrow) or 41212. He will drop deeper in defense which will give you 5 at the back. The CDM sits on that 6 yard ark allowing you to plug the middle
Drop between defender will make you even more solid in defence but it will give up space in the midfield and make it harder to link up to your CAMS because the gap between them will be even larger!
I do that on one of my defensive customs when I've got the game won and I'm seeing it out.
100% my dude
I love this channel! Great video bro, keep on grinding.
Thank you so much man
Should I copy these tactics for balanced defensive ultra Attack and ultra defence?
Just use this as 1 tactic on its own
SUBBED for the shear effort you have put in this video other formations on the way too? Great video mate!
Thank you so much man! You guys are the Real Stars!
41212 wide with the custom instructions is the easiest for me to use , what do you consider the easiest formation to get used to ?
I would say the easiest to get use to would probably be the 4-3-3 (2) iMO
RG11 love that form but will it eventually hold me back? I should try this one instead I suppose?
7 damage BTW personally i feel that wingers waste players potential they do much more as wide CAMs then as Wingers
The winger will help you spread the opponent open, if you play narrow, everything can get too crowded
If your fullback loses possession trying to get forward don't you want your cdm's to cover the wings since there will be a huge space for the opponent to counter?
Albin same question.. i use cover wing for both cdm’s.. seems working well for me.. but sometimes u can see spaces when counter attacks
You can do but if you dms run out to the full back area, the whole of your midfield is wide open and then it forces you to control one of your CBS And if you do that.... Its game over unless you get a clutch tackle in!

I have a formation to beat the 4,2,3,1 meta..it’s the 3 at the back with wide players enjoying the flank..
And once someone realises you’re playing a 3 atb formation and know how to counter that, they’ll switch to a 433(4) and maybe sometimes 4321. 433 formation completely counters the 3 atb that’s why you have to be careful setting up that formation as more people are using it and more people are learning to counter it.
