In FIFA 22 we have to think about the 4-3-2-1. After we have already gone through the tactics for 4-1-2-1-2(2), 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1, now follows probably the most offensive of all formations. Especially at the beginning of the season, the 4-3-2-1 was very popular and found a lot of approval in the community. After some patches it is now a bit weaker, but still a good formation.

The tactics for the defense and offense

For the defense, we recommend the balanced defensive style. With the three midfielders standing in front of the back four, you are well positioned. For width, we recommend a value between 48 - 54, as this formation offers good width from the ground up. For depth, we advise a value between 50 - 55 and not much higher, as this formation is relatively offensive.

Due to the good player distribution in this formation, we also advise a balanced offensive style. This will allow you to make the most of the many opportunities that this formation offers. For creating chances we recommend 'Direct Passes', so that you can put your three strikers in an optimal position. With this setting, they offer good runs for the previously mentioned direct passes.

For the attacking width you should use a value between 55 and 60, because with two wingers and two outer central midfielders there is enough width. For 'players in the box' we recommend 4 - 5 bars, because there are usually enough players in the opponent's penalty area. To avoid opposing counterattacks, you should go for one bar for both 'Corners' and 'Free kicks'.

These are the aspects you should consider with these tactics

Your central midfielder should be a defensive playmaker who only has to win balls. You can then complement him with two more offensive midfielders or all-rounders to create the perfect midfield. On the right and left strikers you should have strong wingers with a good finish, because in this formation they will appear in front of the goal just as often as your striker.

These are the instructions you should give to your players

When it comes to instructions, we recommend the following settings:

  • Central striker: Stay central, get in behind, Stay forward

  • Left and right striker: Come back on defense

  • Central midfielder: Stay back while attacking, Cover center

  • Outer midfielders: Cover center

  • Wingbacks: Stay back while attacking
