FIFA 22 Ultimate Team: 5 best attacking formations

5) 4-2-2-2

The 4-2-2-2 is an excellent offensive formation that sacrifices width in favor of attack. Since this formation is a bit narrow, the fullbacks will be relied upon to provide alternatives out wide.

It is, however, adaptable, and with a pair of inventive CAMs up front, the forwards have a lot of goal-scoring potential. Players will just need to remember to surge through the center and gradually build up their pace.

4) 3-1-4-2

The 3-1-4-2 is a flexible formation that, depending on the scenario, can be set up as either defensive or offensive. Players can, for example, push their wingers high up the pitch when seeking a goal.

This will result in offensive overload while maintaining defensive coverage in midfield to prevent easy goals. This will be especially successful with tall, strong strikers, since the wide midfielders can cross into the box to provide scoring opportunities.

3) 4-3-1-2

The 4-3-1-2 is compact in center and allows for a possession-based style, with fullbacks providing width on both the offensive and defensive sides.

This one is good for flooding the middle, and may be used to counteract 4-4-2 formations. It does, however, rely on quick fullbacks who must shuttle up and down the field.

2) 4-3-2-1

The 4-3-2-1 is a variation of the 4-3-1-2 that places a greater focus on offense. It works well in FIFA 22 because it gives players a stable defensive framework and a large number of forwards to construct attacks around.

The ideal approach to play this formation, both defensively and offensively, is to keep it compact. As a result, players will eventually relinquish a lot of possession in wide areas. They will compensate for this, though, by being extremely difficult to break down in front of goal.

One of the strongest formations for FIFA Ultimate Team is the 4-1-2-1-2 (narrow). This is due to the fact that it has a strong center midfield with lots of offensive options and defensive covering.

This favors the Forward Runs command for Chance Creation and may overwhelm defenses, particularly on the counter-attack. This is supported by the two attackers upfront and the CAM (center-attacking midfielder) feeding them from slightly deeper areas.

FIFA 22 Ultimate Team will be as competitive as ever. Therefore, players need to employ prudent tactics and formations. The latter sets the blueprint for a playstyle, making it essential to assess all options.

The formations listed above pertain to scintillating attacking play. Players are encouraged to try all of them out.
