4141 is my jam.. Giving the side back to join the attack and the cd goes back to support the defense Or 4132 is best for counter attacks and against teams with strong wings. Especially those who play 433

I've been looking to find the best formation for me in FIFA 21 for a long time and this helped me a lot. In FIFA 20 I was operating a sort of 4231 with 1 CDM and 2 CM's but this was not working in 21 the same as it did before. So major props! I have a follow-up question: Does it really matter performance wise if I use a LW and RW in the positions of LM and RM? Would they perform any better (positioning for attacks, reactions to counters and so on) if I converted them to LM and RM?

These tactics are terrible.. if you like your hand held through everything in life then maybe these are for you but I'll fall asleep playing this cookie cutter way smh. I have my own tactics which work for my style of play.. figure out how you like to play and set your tactics accordingly. Long ball is terrible, no one wants to sit back and counter attack with 30% possession.

Arman Falahati 6 dager siden

How come when I try and use 4-2-3-1 I can’t get a ram and a Lam and it’s super narrow. Your formation here looks like 4-2-3-1(2). Am I doing something wrong?

Hasan Mo 25 dager siden

Isn’t it bad that left mids and right mids lose chem as they play as CAMS

Still to this day best tactics. First game, I was a little shaky and then the next to games I won with a 5-0 margin. Brilliant

Gustavo Liryco official 27 dager siden

This people forget this game is created to be the most realistic to real soccer and real soccer is very tactical. You need to actually need to know soccer to understand some of the this. I see a lot of you tubers refer players and make videos and I’ve play with them and they suck they look at rating and shit like that. Theirs a lot a good players that move very good to the realistic.

I be using 4-2-4

Billy Bob Måned siden

So you just put it on defensive right away?

Rob Kwanten Måned siden

Excellent video. Won 17 of my last 18 games using this tactic. Very balanced. Using Griezmann as central attacking mid and he is scoring for fun!

Morris Holmlund Måned siden

These tactics are AMAZING!! I went down from div 4 (after placement matches) all the way down to div 6 (cuz I suck) but with this one I've already made it back up to div 5 after a 6-1-0. Thank you so much. 10/10 would recommend!

kurtis vowles Måned siden

I was using this formation and tactics last week on rivals and was on a massive win streak and ended up with a record of 17-3 by friday and enjoyed actually playing for the first time in weeks. Go into FUT champs and end up with only 10 wins this weekend. Anyone know what I could change??

Ken Mooney Måned siden

This formation (with LAM CAM and RAM is not in FIFA 21 X/S) I am using the 4-2-3-1 with LM CAM RM...hope this works.

Living Earth Måned siden

I would like to buy fifa 21. Want to play online, that's it. Which package is better?

Matt Måned siden

Defensively these tactics are great. Except on the counter they will score goals. Offensively this its shit. I had 70% possession and 1 goal in 5 games. I lost all the games because they hit me on the counter I lost by 1 goal every time. The goal I scored was a penalty. This formation and tactics arent good for me. People should try it tho because it did help me keep possession in the opponents half. I just couldn’t score any goals.Maybe I’m just shit but I’m a gold 1 player trying to hit Elite.

wtf theres no lam position

Bro these tactics are just amazing fabulous fantastic 🖤

Marco Rojas-Vazquez Måned siden

truth is there is no real meta in FIFA. People only suggest that there is so they can keep videos coming out and when one world class fifa player does something everyone copies. traore is good in some aspects but you can make him pay with his horrid passing. Honestly just use a style you enjoy and stop following everyone on youtube. I play a 433 (5) with Jouaqin in rw Suarex in the middle and some really slow players in the center and Im pretty successful in division one. Just find your own play style without forcing something your not because your favorite youtuber likes i

What custom tactics is reccomend if you have a middle CAM as De Bruyne

Anyone else notice how dry his mouth is?

This formation make you feel like The Queen Gambit 😅

Similar to my most favourite one which is 4-1-2-3 (4D-1CDM-1CM-1CAM-2WF-1ST)

Best fifa NOpostr out there

How do i move the CAM to a RAM and a LAM? cant see where i can edit the postion of the player to do that

What about the CB and LB?

David Francis Måned siden

My 4-2-3-1 options either have 3 CAMs or 1 CAM with a LM and a RM....no RAM or LAM. Anyone know how I change this ?

Nikman Shah 2 måneder siden

I wholeheartedly agree with these tactics. Thanks @NealGuides for sharing this with us! I've been using 352 settings from FUT20 that was shared by @NealGuides last year but they don't work well in FUT21 - I kept getting counter-attacked! This formation and player instructions worked superbly for me last night. Haven't lost at all in the roughly 4 Div 4 games I played so far (won 3 drew 1... Let's see how it goes in WL. But all in all, definitely a balanced formation that's both attacking minded and compact enough to defend properly. I really recommend this formation and its associated instructions. Thanks!

PeteKJ 2 måneder siden

Can it be 4231(2) as well so I can use RM and LM instead of 3 CAMs?

And that's how 99% of people play. Same formation, same tactics, same players and same overpowered handball, basketball mechanicals. FIFA is not football, it's an arcade game disguised as football.

I'm struggling with my wingers being on 2 - 3 chem when put into CAM roles? Maybe being a bit noob, but I'd love to fit rashford as striker, so it's hard to fit Ben Yedder, Gelson Martins and somebody else in. Any tips?

sh0wmemagic 2 måneder siden

@Michael Bird thank you so much, I was a bit confused watching the video! I had a suspicion people were doing something like this but wasn't quite sure.

Michael Bird 2 måneder siden

For example, I start using the 4321 with Son and Salah out wide and then switch to 4231 in game with them in the wide CAM roles.

Michael Bird 2 måneder siden

You need to start off in a formation where everyone is on decent chem, doesn’t matter what formation it is. Create this formation (or any formation you like) on custom tactics and switch to it in game. Your players won’t lose chemistry during the game, it only applies for the menus.

Another anti football guide. It’s all about the winning and not playing football. EA do a pretty rough job of making these games but videos like this breed everything wrong with the FIFA series. Front 4 (st and 3 cams) average pace 92. Midfield average pace 75 but with the 3 cams helping it raises this. Defence average 87 pace and notice the two RB’s at CB. Every chump who says it’s not about pace always sits behind a pacey team. You mention Berkamp but your team has as much elegance as Gemma Collins on ice. Your formation and team is the equivalent of holding down and smashing punch button with Blanka or button mashing with Eddy Gordo. No skill just reliance on pace.

Okanxo Måned siden

@Dan i‘m on your side i hate that everybody plays like a sweat and does the Same thing has the Same Team every Team in fut champs has the Same 4 Players in defence its really Not fun to Never See any variety in the oponnents Teams

Hello. I’m not sure I understand your question. During the video I see Mbappe, Dembélé, Ben Yedder and G. Martins which is my point. I don’t see Hazard, Costa and Oscar. Guides like this influences others to use the same tactics, formations along with the same players which means whenever you play, either as a causal player or not, you come up against the same. People complain that FIFA is the same year on year yet will do the same as everybody else. To me, the question you maybe should ask is ‘is EA ruining the franchise or is it the FIFA (mainly Ultimate Team) community?’ Guides like this swing it towards the FIFA community for me. Thanks for the offer of assistance. I’ve been playing FIFA since FIFA International on the Sega Mega Drive (apart from an 8 year hiatus to play the much better, at the time, ISS Pro/Pro Evo) so I think I’m alright. Maybe I’m alone in this but it would be nice to come up against a good player who doesn’t rely on ‘meta’ formations, tactics or pacey players. This is football after all.

How did you get to play Martins & Dembele with proper chemistry when played out of position? In 4231 you have to use them as CAM instead of LM & RM with 4231 (2)?
