If you are a football enthusiast and possibly a player, you will know that the formation and tactics of winning a game are key. FIFA 23 is as realistic as it can be, meaning that formations and tactics are something that you will need to use in order to win for your Ultimate Team. In this guide, we will be giving you some basic tactics that can work out for your Starting Ultimate Team.
Best Formation & Tactics For Ultimate Team At Start – FIFA 23
There are certainly a lot of formations and tactics that you can choose from. We strongly advise that you develop a strategy yourself that might work. Just note, that whenever you’re doing these formations you will want to have the proper players in the proper positions. Otherwise whatever you will follow in this guide won’t work.
4 – 1 – 2 – 1 – 2
The 4-1-2-1-2 formation is one of the most common ways to run in Ultimate Team and other modes that need a good setup.
You will always have a lot of players who can get into the midfield, so this formation is great if you like to play “possession ball” and break down a defense. But since it’s a narrow setup, your exposure width is at play here. So, if you want to get the most out of this lineup and risk the least, make sure your fullbacks are in place.
If they get out of position, you could be surprised by a counterattack and give up a goal. With this formation, you have to be sure you can keep the ball.
4 – 4 – 2
The old-school 4-4-2 formation is still one of the best ways to play in FIFA 23. But you can’t go wrong with 4-4-2 because there are new players everywhere and you don’t have to worry about width.
With a lot of choices in the middle of the field, you can switch things up as much as you want. You will also be strong on both sides, both offensively and defensively. This formation will also make it easy for you to cross the ball in, which is a strategy that works every year in FIFA.
4 – 3 – 3
Most football teams today love this modern formation. In a different version of 4-3-3 called false 9, the striker can also move into the middle of the field. This gives a midfield that should be able to rush any formation even more stability.
In this formation, the central midfield plays in a neutral position. However, the alternative false 9 formations can let the fullbacks be more aggressive and press. Still, this formation gives players a lot of freedom and room to build their teams the way they want.
4 – 2 – 2 – 2
This is a formation that will work only on some occasions. You will need to set up a very strong attack. This formation is based on your team grabbing the ball from the enemy team while they are on your part of the football field.
This way you will have all the players running in front in a very fast manner which will result in a goal. Risky play, but also very effective.
Those are the best common and best Formations and Tactics that you can start out your Ultimate Team with. There are very new players on FIFA 23 right now so you will be sort of playing a tutorial mode even in UT. Good luck!
