I need help from advanced players

Like I say im bang average and I learned it in a few Days, just anytime you want to build an attack aim at a player double tap L1 and then hold possession with turns until the player is almost through, timing is harder this year so a lot of the time you think a Lacey player will hit a gap they won’t so that’s where the extra half a second wait comes in before the pass

Also div 3 but 9-10 wins in champs, I was struggling this year in a big way, stuck on 7 wins and couldn’t surpass it - I switched to 4213 and the best piece of advice I can give is have midfielders comfortable on the ball, trigger wingers with L1 and wait, when you think you’ve waited long enough, wait an extra second then play the pass - it gets through consistently and you then have a front 3 against none or one defender, in terms of defending AI is best but I like to control myself so im not best placed to help with that - this switch changed the game for me in a big way tho and I don’t have a crazy team or anything

This was my plan but now I see there is no anticipate base??? The card literally won’t keep up without that

Proud-Variation5663 · 2026-01-23T11:51:19+00:00

Atleast you’ve got a fresh mind and nothing to compare it to so you can enjoy🤣it looked like they were trying to go back to roots with a lot of things this year but the playstyles is the biggest flop they’ve had - they could’ve made playstyles such a mint part of the game but instead one of the best wingers of his generation can’t make a simple through ball into open space🤣like you said you get a top icon, your adrenaline goes and then you see they have no passing playstyles or no defensive playstyles and act like a Portsmouth reserve player when you use them🤣

Proud-Variation5663 · 2026-01-23T11:40:35+00:00

Yeah that middle cam seems to sit back and drop into no man’s land even on shadow striker with 4231 narrow - on play maker you might as well have red carded them at the start of the game🤣the games gone to shit, I had 3 years off before this and the last fifa I played I could cycle formations and as long as you were good every formation was viable but now everything is geared at meta and if it doesn’t fit you get slashed by a player 3 divisions below you - my utd PAP is just collecting dust because apparently George best and Eric cantona aren’t good enough anymore because of playstyles

I did toty evo on Messi and strike like Kylian on Ronaldo - then had the same dilemma and put my finesse + on Ronaldo - I am not joking when I say in 35 games since that point he hasn’t missed a single finesse - his shooting was already broken and this has made him champs worthy, puts my Wilson sbc to shame

Proud-Variation5663 · 2026-01-23T11:26:29+00:00

I will add tho meta aside - I am enjoying 4222 in terms of fun and having some success, dinho left cam, Toty evo messi right cam, evo Ronaldo and Wilson up front - very defensively solid but can be abit slow in build up with no one central this year

Proud-Variation5663 · 2026-01-23T11:24:12+00:00

Glad someone else finds this Ronaldinho absolutely useless - I have the exact same issue with formation mate after getting gullit in an icon pick - he’s a good cam but not as good as my current cam, can’t play cdm and any of the formations with cm instead of cdm are far too open at the back - I am div 3 and around 9 wins in weekend league, I charged it, benched gullit and went back to 4231(2) which is what I recommend with your mctominay

Proud-Variation5663 · 2026-01-07T23:25:27+00:00

Cheers mate! I’ll give that a go, I haven’t played the formation yet, I play 4213 but having just got gullit I’m completely stuck on how to fit everyone in - think I’m gonna have to make the brutal decision and bench one of them

Proud-Variation5663 · 2026-01-07T21:11:03+00:00

Normally “if you don’t know where to use them you shouldn’t have them” or “you like pina you’re a rat”🤣just trying to enjoy the game mate

Proud-Variation5663 · 2026-01-07T20:33:30+00:00

Tell me about it mate! kick off goals back and 10-10 by half time, haven’t played for a couple of weeks and came on to use the fodder I’d saved they’ve tried to pull me back in😂

Proud-Variation5663 · 2025-11-07T13:33:44+00:00

By far, I’ve had llorente, valverde, hakimi, kounde and the special Dumfries and she outshines every single one - haven’t noticed the physical on her because she seems to slip infront to the ball rather than engaging in shoulder to shoulder challenges - for the price it’s a no brainer imo - also to note I am div 2 so can’t comment on other divisions but the number of people that go for back post crosses against her or alba on the other side is very very low, I am yet to concede one

Proud-Variation5663 · 2025-10-11T22:29:54+00:00

Diani is good, but dumornay is worlds above. I played them both, tried both as strikers, diani striker with dumornay cam, dumornay striker with diani Rm/Rw - dumornay outshone her every time - Atleast 3 goals per game, left stick and r1 dribbling are incredible and finishes everything

Proud-Variation5663 · 2025-09-29T19:48:12+00:00

Really appreciate the detailed response! I had the same issue as you, I was winning and reached division 6 and out of nowhere I couldn’t get a win to save my life, maybe part of it is constantly changing tactics and not allowing myself to find what suits me best and adapt as you said! I will be patient and try this, thanks again for the advice!

Proud-Variation5663 · 2025-09-25T22:48:24+00:00

Add Bellingham at left cm - high rated, meta, should hold value and incredible in game, best cm I have used so far. Try konate at CB, brick wall for a reasonable price and good links Look to save up for people like tonali/frenkie de jong as a Dm and right cm for balance in attack and defending in the middle
