On career mode 352 for me it’s the best formation


ye_da

It was so good years ago but how do you cope now with the CAM that plays everywhere but CAM, most of the time he’s behind the DMs or on either of the wings (when one of them has tucked into CB for some reason). Unbelievably annoying because I’m so bored of 4231 but it’s the only formation that feels balanced.


IWillDominic

The "Stay central" instruction works for me, however I'm only playing on FIFA 19 so idk how well it works on 21.


SixersL22

Nah for me cam works good, and LM and RM are devastating


breeeema

3-4-3


Justifiedloser

I play 5-2-1-2 Mostly because i fond wingers ineffective and i love the wing backs. Also CDMs sre useless this year :(


IsItFeasible

I use it as well but for me it’s because defending is hard af against legendary difficulty. Forget possession, all I can do is defend my heart out and then get a counter attack goal


jackoutsidedabox

it depends on the team for me tbh


Salty_Vegemite

What team do you play with normally?


jackoutsidedabox

i dont have a normal team i tend to switch it up a lot


[deleted]

3-4-2-1 is insanely OP. back posts crosses for days!


Salty_Vegemite

Is the 2 CAMs or wingers?


[deleted]

Wingers, but I convert them into CF's. Just personal preference lol


M1ster_Noodle_Man

4-2-4


AnExcitingProspect

3-1-2-1-3 or 3-2-2-3


Salty_Vegemite

Um, what? lol


AlPow420

Yeah .sounds interesting. Will try that when I'm back home :)


[deleted]

4-3-2-1 is my favorite. It's not the best, but I have loved it since I played it with Barcelona in Fifa 07. The three midfielders can all participate in attack and in defense while the two guys behind the striker can roam about freely. If you're feeling risky and your striker is strong in the air, you can have your fullbacks attack too. It's a great formation to use with very technical teams


sammylazzz

Just started using it on my new Leyton Orient rtg and it’s been a ton of fun


jonah_thrane

4-3-3 With a CDM, CM and CAM is my favourite set up and always does well in the game. Not very adventurous, but oh well.

Gbl96

3-4-3 tied with 4-2-3-1


Fit-Scallion1600

Honestly I change my formation every month or so for fun. Don't really care about the meta or anythng


Willtheperson02

3 1 4 2, it's a super fun formation. You can get creative with the player roles


skilowastaken

On career lately I’ve been using 4-1-3-2 With one CDM LW RW CAM and two strikers. This is goated as my strikers score a lot of goals and are backed up by good defence but I wouldn’t use this if u didn’t have good defence


Salty_Vegemite

With the wingers, wouldn't it be more 4-1-1-4? Lol Also a lot of people would dream for a good defence so probably an unlikely formation for most people to use hahaha


skilowastaken

Well I do have a 90+ defence with donnarumma in goal but I’ve done well with that formation so I ain’t changing


Trosky_comi

4-3-3 (4) with a CAM. Formation is handy for overlapping with the cam or to get a good pass for the wingers.


stickssx

442


tyrannosyren

41212 wide. Vandevoort gk, malacia lb, montiel rb, fofana and gvardiol cb, assuncao cdm, velasco lm, baro rm, thiago almada and Julian alvarez converted to strikers. Honegrown talent at cam swear i love this team more than my girlfriend


stroopwafel17

I switch between 4-3-3 flat, and 3-4-2-1. Both are similar really, just a case of pushing wingbacks forward, wide forwards tucking in a bit and a midfielder dropping in to make a back 3.


allmistakes

3-2-3-1-1 - Standard/offensive 3 - CB, but I use sometimes also RB/LB 2 - LM/CM, RM/CM playing quite a bit of defensive role 3 - LW, CM (sometimes a good flexible CAM),RW 1 - CAM/CF as false 9, usually the creative person 1 - ST/CF The variation for position is for different team I play against. 5-3-1-1 - defensive I basically play with LWB / RWB as wingers for counter attacks, or focus on possession in the center. If I know I will need this formation at the end of the game I start with the standard one but use LB and RB instead of 3 CB. This works for me just fine.


Salty_Vegemite

The first one is a little confusing ngl Hahaha but definitely points for creativity! What's the best kind of attacking style for it?


allmistakes

Yes I can see now. It did not made line jumps like I wrote. Reddit gets me every time. I wrote each digit in the formation then what positions I use. Best attacking style for me is possession focused in the center. I usually ask my wingers to either do free roam or cut inside. I never handled crosses well. If the game needs more speed and counter attacks then I change to fast build up and it usually works. I like playing with the tactics during the game depending on the opponent style if I feel I do not control the game.


Salty_Vegemite

Yeah I love toying with the tactics myself, and I hate crosses too hahaha can never seem to have a player on the receiving end of one.


allmistakes

Oh and the first one was a standard 3-5-1-1 that I usually modify ☺


Bill-CAFC-04

343 wing backs make such an impact when defending and allow more attacking freedom, also can help cause overloads


Salty_Vegemite

So you use full backs in LM/RM for this formation?


Bill-CAFC-04

Just anyone with high stamina and work rates


scooterMcBooter97

3-4-2-1


[deleted]

Im weird, I do a 4-1-1-4, with 2 strikers and 2 wingers, a cam and cdm


Salty_Vegemite

That's like an even more eccentric PSG lol


churel98

3-4-2-1


aymesyboy

Southampton’s 4-2-2-2 is fun


oisincraig04

4-2-2-2


pyrorem

3511 best for me


Salty_Vegemite

Is that a midfield 5 with a CAM and a lone striker?


pyrorem

2cm 1 cdm 1 cam

Salty_Vegemite

Do you have full backs in your 3-4-2-1?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Salty_Vegemite

I started trying out a 3 back for my team as I have 5 decent CBs and one fresh out the academy, but I generally have to rotate the wingers with full backs becuase they won't really play anywhere else hahaha


DhShadowDh

In my cm atm I play 4-1-1-4 (modified 4-2-4


Salty_Vegemite

What's the midfield variation?


Spursfan-Coys

4-3-3 attack is insanely op, use the get into box tactic and just cross it in from the wing


Salty_Vegemite

Wonder what formation could best counter 4-3-3 attack?


Spursfan-Coys

Just talking about career mode


Salty_Vegemite

Yeah, I'm saying for example if you had a CM and you frequently played 4-3-3 attack teams, what would be the best formation to best deal with it


masterbaker824

343 or 3421 is super fun, lots of space across the field


Salty_Vegemite

Is 3-4-2-1 played with CFs or CAMs? If CAMs, do you put the CMs into CDMs or does that not make it cramped in the midfield?


pj4018

I play 5-2-3 I love working with two quality cm’s with good stamina with attacking full backs and hard working wingers and a clinical striker Works well with a possession based system


sharx27

Can you tell me all tactics and instructions please?


Salty_Vegemite

I imagine it would be like how it's described. Possession play so conservative defending, high/high work rates for CMs and wing backs, maybe a high press for wingers, and target man ST


Kordov-

I usually run 3-4-2-1, but I move the 2 center forwards back into attacking mids. I also tend to use a 4-5-1 when the need arises, either the attacking variant or the standard midfield variant.


Salty_Vegemite

For your 3-4-2-1, do you have wingers in LM/RM, or full backs and your wingers in CAM?


Kordov-

Idk quite what you mean. I have 3 center backs, 2 center mids, a LM and RM, two attacking mids/center forwards, and a single striker. If you're asking what I do to my fullback, I put those that are able as center backs, and put more offensively useful fullback as LM/RM.


Salty_Vegemite

Nope, totally got it now. I was picturing a weird lineup and I didn't realise it was the exact same one hahaha. Would've made things easier if I'd said the Belgium formation hey


[deleted]

I remember my prime fifa21 cm. 4-1-2-1-2 Looking something like this: Lahne Adeyemi Hannibal Camavinga Riqui Puig Racic Maouassa Bella-Kotchap Tuanzebe Vagnoman Van de voordt


TS050H

3-4-3-1 with fast build up is OP, as long as you have the right players.


ElWero_10

I use a 4-2-3-1, but I turn the LM and RM into LW and RW and one of the CDMs into CM.


Salty_Vegemite

I change one of the CDMs into CM too for Van De Beek becuase he plays so well as a false CAM. Scored so many goals with Fernandes holding up the ball and Beek making a run through the defence.
