Anyone still on the forums from the old 4-3-3(5) threads and planning on playing this year?
I quit fifa 23 in November last year lol, but back to do Chelsea P&P RTG and England P&P RTG and will be using 4-3-3 (5) as ever.
Just posting to see if anyone is still about and to share tactics as I/we go.
Yeah, I'm back for 24. Was BenjaBH on the old forum.
Happy to see the spirit of the thread lives on! 🙂
Decided to take the first owner path again.
Thoughts about this team??
@freddfranca Give these a try
4213 formation
Fullbacks on overlap
CDMs on stay back(easier to keep possesion)
CAM free roam get in the box
Wingers: Cut inside, come back on defense, get in behind, get into the box.
balanced
20
61
slow build up
Chances is Attacking runs? It gives the Dutch name in my game
40
4
3
3
I just realized that is impossible to play by the middle in this game. Every time I try to make a pass, my players are surrounded by 5 opponents.
Need a new formation that works with my Giroud.
Has anyone used the new 4213 formation? Just noticed it exists.
Want to get the most out of Xabi Alonso, so looking for a good formation that fits him
I'm back on 433(5)!
After failing 3 times in a row on WL to get 11w I switched to 433(5). 4 wins in 5 games and one draw in DIV4 left me impressed. 1 attacking CM and 1 attacking fullback gives me lots of passing opportunities upfront and wingers are cutting in like always. Nothing too fancy, but it works!
Once again I'm full of motivation to start my WL and FINALLY get that 11wins 🤣 Few new names in my team too; Blanc (sbc), Petit (Icon SBC). Still need to get new attacking CM to replace Llorente and I'm good to go.
What results are people here getting on WL? 10Wins is my best now which is funny cause last year I could get 11w's even blindfolded lol
@HeiVetle do you mind sharing your CTs for the 3421? I wouldn't mind giving it a bash
Got Xabi from the Icon SBC and well chuffed with that. Thinking about a new team and he helps with chem and is one I will use lots as he is one of my favourite former players.
Went with this
Basically just play the 3-4-2-1 right now as it plays very well against all the "meta" formations.
Which are mostly 4-4-2 variations.
Against the higher press ones I always have wide outlets in my RM/LM and the CFs that drops to find space.
Against low press the CFs really get too much time on the ball.
The RM/LM are very good at timing the runs and just destroys people who plays very narrow in their defensive shape.
If they push up their CBs or invert their wingbacks to stop my CFs it just opens up a lot of space for someone else.
Frenkie might not look like a conventional CB, but I really like to have him as CCB to progress the ball through his ability to carry the ball, switch the play and play through the lines.
Getting in Acuna and Oshoala has been a revelation, they're so strong and always win their 50/50s. (In 10 games Acuna has 4 goals and 2 assists so far in, whilst Osho has scored 12 times and has 9 assists)
Rodrygo and Neymar are just fun, dropping a bit deeper as CFs to help control the tempo of the game.
If I had the time to play more today I'd probably reach Div 2 today.
Also reached lvl 29 today and packed Messi in the pack, Gundogan was the walkout however 🤔
I was probably getting him back at some point, he'll start as a sub as the team is really vibing right now, but when the MLS get's more special cards he'll probably be right back in. (Could get him on 2 chem with Veron and booting out the women of the team, but really like them, even kept Rolfö as a RM/LM-sub)
@JOHN_D_EFC the formation that os working best for me is that 4222 you posted before (Diniz one). This is the team
