Best FIFA 23 FUT Formations and Custom Tactics

FIFA 23 is now not too far away. Player ratings and stats matter enormously in the game, but solid defending, quick counter-attacks, and winning games also depend heavily on your squad's formation and custom tactics. If you want a strong Division Rivals result in FIFA 23 and want to get ready for Weekend League, in this article we'll look at the best FIFA 23 formations for you.

Best FIFA 23 Custom Tactics for 4-1-2-1-2 (2) (Narrow)

If you have a lot of midfield options, 4-1-2-1-2 (2) can be the best FIFA 23 formation for you. Since you won't have much width, you need a solid short passing game to get the most out of this option. Your teammates in midfield should force your opponent out wide. Looking at the details of the custom tactics for this formation, you'll want to make sure your lone CDM stays in position, and you can even set them to "stay back while attacking." That said, it's also a pretty good idea to make sure your CAM stays in position. Playing with two strikers, you need to be able to get past defenders and put yourself in a few one-on-one situations.

Best FIFA 23 Custom Tactics for 4-3-2-1

Pace was the most important player stat in last year's FIFA, and we'll see together whether that changes this time around. If you want to punish your opponent on the break, 4-3-2-1 could be your best bet. That's because this formation gives you three forwards, and to be more specific, you get to take advantage of that three-pronged attack. To get the most out of the triple threat you have on the pitch, we recommend giving both your LF and RF the "stay central" custom tactic instruction. To make sure you protect your defense, you should also give your central CM the "stay back while attacking" instruction.

Best FIFA 23 Custom Tactics for 4-3-3 (2)

This formation is a pretty balanced one. Having a CDM in the middle will help protect your defense while your wingers push forward. Looking at custom tactics, you can set both your LB and RB to "stay back while attacking." As long as you make sure the CDM drops back on defense, you can change this however you see fit. If you have a slow forward, you can give your wingers the "cut inside" instruction while attacking.

Best FIFA 23 Custom Tactics for 4-4-2

This formation has been a fan favorite for a few years now. That's because with this formation, you get the defensive solidity of having two CDMs and the advantage of having four attacking players. A standard 4-4-2 isn't a bad option, but the holding variant gives your two central players a welcome boost when it comes to defending. Looking at custom tactics, above all we recommend giving both of them the "stay back while attacking" instruction. If you have pace, you can give your wingers the "cut inside" instruction depending on whether you prefer to keep passing or play the ball into the box.

Best FIFA 23 Custom Tactics for 4-5-1 Attack

With this formation, when it comes to attack you get two CAMs and a forward alongside your RM and LM. We recommend giving the "stay back while attacking" instruction, but aside from that you're free to set things up as you like. That said, we do recommend being careful, since your LM and RM's stamina will run out faster than in other formations.
