Alright, let's dive into these killer 433 Attack custom tactics, the ones you guys have been spamming me about! This year, with the 4213 being so strong, it's all about maximizing those Center Mids. So, let's get into it and I'll break down how to use these tactics properly. Don't just copy them blindly, wait, I'll explain why and how each tactic works the way it does.
Team Setup and Chemistry
First things first, let's talk about the team. We're rocking a squad with a cool 30 million coins in the bank, saving it for the future. We're going for a green team this week, green, purple, and icon checking goal. We've got some untradeables in the club, like Tor Evo and Demb, and we've added Rogers and Watkins up top. This is to show you guys that these tactics work even with players that aren't the absolute best. It's not just a pay-to-win thing, okay? As you can see, we're at 29 chemistry. Let me change the manager real quick, we've got our mate David in, and there we go, 31 chemistry. Now, let's get into the tactics and show you why and how these are so good.
Tactics Overview
We're going with the 433 Attack formation. As you guys know, I always play short passing. I've also got it on high, 95 is really useful. We'll show you that in the next tactics on the 451 or 4141, something like that, because we haven't got as many wide mids and center mids to press high, there will be gaps. So, we're going to go for 70 for you guys. I'm recommending counter, just play like the 4213, go quickly up the wings and don't worry too much about the defense. So, we'll leave it on counter. You know, we'll leave it on counter, but if you don't like it, try balance. Try short passing, every other pro user's balance pretty much. I think you guys will prefer counter, but I prefer short passing.
Player Roles and Instructions
Let's get into the roles.
- Goalkeeper: Defend. Same as always. You can use sweeper keeper, this is preference. I don't know what I prefer, I think sweeper, but I've been using goalkeeper 'cause I don't want him to rush out and make mistakes.
- Center Backs: Defender and Defend. Same as always. It's getting a bit boring now. We could try stopper or something, but we'll leave it as that for now.
- Fullbacks: Fullback and Defend. This is a big one. Because guys, if you have it unbalanced, that 4213, their wingers will infiltrate your backline and be through on goal, but still onside because of the center backs. So, you want that on fullback and defend. As you can see with the ball, this is the fullbacks on balanced, and then this is with the ball on fullback defend, they're much more narrow.
- Center Mids: This is a hidden gem. People in the 4213, they've got DMs, we don't want to use the DMs, but we want them to play a bit deeper because that's the point, right? You want defense help. So, we're going to use Illich and Kloo as Deep Lying Playmakers and Defend. A lot of people have DLP buildup on the DM, so they go up the pitch. This is the opposite. We're now playing them as Center Mids. We want DLP and Defend. As you can see, DLP normal on buildup will say when set to buildup, the DLP will move forward and offer a passing option. On defend, the Deep Lying Playmaker will focus on closing down passing lanes and staying back while the team attacks. It's really good, and that's the difference, guys. As I mentioned, if it was a DM, we'd go for buildup, but it's not, it's a CM, so we want to go for defend and we keep our plus and plus pluses in Center Midfield.
- CAM: Playmaker Plus+. You guys might be thinking, "Oh, I use playmaker." Wait, playmaker roaming instead of just balance. We're going to use roaming. Why is that? The playmaker will have freedom to explore the pitch to find the spaces to support attack, guys. You want your CAM in space at all times, 'cause as soon as the CAM gets the ball, the left wing is in, the right wing is in, the striker is in, and it's too much for the other team to defend against. And pretty much guys, if they have balanced fullbacks, fullback balance pretty much, then your wingers are going to be in behind them.
- Wingers: Inside Forward and Roaming on both sides. Now, you could try attack as well, attack's really good, but try roaming as we said, it finds more space, okay?
- Striker: Advanced Forward and Attack. Now, you could try something else like Target, but I'll be honest, keep it on advanced forward, keep it simple. Plus plus, all three of them are going to be in behind the defense when Maradona gets it from CAM, so you're going to have options, okay? Just pick the right one and you'll score more goals than you've ever, ever scored in FC five, okay?
Player Selection
Now, I've pretty much summed up the roles. The personnel you want in this team is:
- Someone quick up front, maybe fast or weak foot quick player on the wing. Doesn't have to be too big or small, but maybe have finesse shot play style plus, that can be really, really useful. Both of my guys do have it as well as the inside forward plus role at least.
- CAM: Fast, weak foot if you can, finesse if you can, someone small, agile with incisive pass, that's the main thing.
- CMs: You're looking for incisive, ticky-tacker, ping pass, long ball, all of them ones can be really good and use for to make the team flow as good as possible.
- Fullbacks: Someone like a Theo, someone like a Ake, someone like a Alaba with that body type, with that Bruiser play style, with that long ball pass or the incisive pass, but also the fullback plus plus role is really important here.
- Defender: Same as always, tall, good in tackle.
- Goalkeeper: Simple as, whoever you prefer, Czech, Vandar, Yashin, Casas, whoever.
So, here's the overview of our tactics. Let's get into a Champs game, hopefully this team can pick up the win and we can show you how good this formation really is.
