According to many professionals, the best formation is the 4-2-3-1. What makes this formation a perfect formation for defense is its midfield. The two defensive midfielders will provide defensive stability and avoid counter-attacks, this formation is perfect when you want to keep the ball it will present a lot more solutions with the 4 attacking players. Beware, this formation can also endanger because there is only one real attacker who can be isolated in case of attack.

The 4-4-2 is the Most Balanced Formation

With 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, and two forwards, this formation ensures perfect balance in every part of the field. No player will find himself alone or in lack of a solution because they will be in pairs, the two attackers make it possible to create lightning attacks by creating situations of one-two touch of the balls or even the most technically skilled can deploy their technical palette to free themselves of a certain situation. The danger with this formation is that the attackers find themselves alone there is often a great distance between the attack and the midfield.

Defense for Expert Counter-Attackers

The 5-3-2 is perfect for you because you have both offensive and defensive certainties thanks to the number of players in midfield. The corridors will be occupied by your sides whether offensively or defensively, the 3 center backs will close the game quickly and create counter options. The disadvantage is that the opposing wingers will often be in a 1v1 situation against your full-backs and your full-back is not good enough to have a bad time.

All-out Attack Formation in FIFA 22

On FIFA there are several offensive formations 3-5-2 and the 4-2-4… But the one that ensures you be strong offensively and not sink defensively is the 4-2-2-2. This formation will allow you to multiply short passes in midfield. With the two CAMs, the attackers will always have support and will create opportunities to increase the tempo or to calm the game, the two defensive midfielders will ensure the defensive withdrawals during the transitions which will allow you to ensure a certain balance. The problem with this formation is that there are no wingers while the CAMs will be drawn to the middle your lanes will be left out which will create a 1v1 situation, you better be good defensively to use this formation.
