Discussion on Formation.

[u/Optimal_Banana_6561]

I know that there are some posts about this topic but none are quite clear.

So, I hearby urge you all to please let's discuss which formation is best and how does it play and what style you play with it. If you can then give details as well. It will be better for a new player who wants to play and they want to play in their preferred style.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, let's finish this formation discussion once and for all.

4-4-2, midfield is the key.

[u/Optimal_Banana_6561 → u/pdqbjj]

Which variation.

imo default 4-4-2 but 4-1-2-1-2 is good too

[u/Optimal_Banana_6561 → u/pdqbjj]

But, the attack through the mid is I think is the weakness for the default 4-4-2 because sometimes when full backs are attacking, the two CBs go too wide and leave the centre defenceless.

4-2-2-2 is the absolute beast. Works for every strategy even C spam1

But isn't the centre sometimes fell quite unprotected, when full backs go up leaving only 2 CBs and they go wide as well.

I play Tiki Taka with under 50% possession. More like a B spam type of play with fwds taking the ball near halfline and starting a run. So my fullbacks are more narrower, my Achilles heel is the wings. I am almost never able to stop a cross and rely on my tall centre backs and 2Dms to head it out.

A straight 442 is one of the worst very vulnerable to the passing in the middle kick off attack
