Alright lads, here are the top five tactics I'm using right now to dominate in Weekend League. Let's get into it!

4-4-1-1 Formation

This is probably my favorite formation right now, it's just so nice for building up play. I do have a 4-4-2 on the channel, but this one is the one I'm using the most. Remember, you can always chop and change these formations to fit your style.

  • Defensive Approach: High
  • Build Up Play: Balanced
  • Team Shape: Sweeper Keeper, two center backs on Defender and Defend, both fullbacks on Fullback Defend.
  • Midfield: One box-to-box midfielder.
  • CAM: Your best player here, as they pull everything together.
  • Striker: Advanced Forward. This card is sneaky good, the finishing is outrageous.
  • Wingers: Right Mid on Winger and Balanced, Left Mid on Inside Forward and Balanced.

4-5-1 Formation

This is a bit more attacking than the 4-4-1-1. I recommend starting with a balanced formation like the 4-4-1-1, then switching to this if you want to apply more pressure.

  • Build Up Play: Balanced
  • Defensive Approach: 75 depth.
  • Team Shape: Sweeper Keeper, Defenders on Defender and Defend, Left and Right Back on Fullback Defend.
  • Midfield: Left and Right Center Mids on Playmaker. Center Center Mid on Deep Line Playmaker.
  • Wingers: Left Mid on Inside Forward, Right Mid on Winger. Having a winger on one side helps create width.

Defensive Formation

I go into this when I'm winning and looking to hang on, especially if the opponent is putting on pressure.

  • Build Up Play: Short Passing
  • Defensive Approach: 61 depth (the lowest of all my depths).
  • Team Shape: Two CDMs, one on Deep Line Playmaker, the other on Hold Position.
  • Midfield: Left Mid on Inside Forward and Balanced, Right Mid on Inside Forward and Balanced. If there's space out wide, I'll change them to Wingers.
  • CAM: Playmaker and Balanced.
  • Striker: Advanced Forward.

4-1-3-2 Formation

This is a wildcard formation. I like to have one formation that's totally different from my other setups. It might require a few changes to your team.

  • Defensive Approach: Balanced
  • Build Up Play: Balanced
  • Team Shape: Two center backs on Defender and Defend, both fullbacks on Fullback Defend, CDM on Holding and Defend.
  • Midfield: Center Mid on Playmaker, Left Mid on Inside Forward, Right Mid on Winger.
  • Strikers: Left Striker on False Nine, Right Striker on Advanced Forward.

4-4-2 (100 Depth) Formation

This is my last-ditch attempt when I'm losing. It's a 100 depth formation.

  • Defensive Approach: High Press
  • Build Up Play: Balanced
  • Team Shape: Two center backs on Defender and Defend, both fullbacks on Wing Back and Balanced.
  • Midfield: Center CM on Playmaker, Left CM on Playmaker, both wingers on Inside Forward.
  • Striker: Advanced Forward and Attack.
  • CDM: Holding and Defend.
