On the off chance they do Fut 24 Coins venture forward, we want them to overlap. We want them to create width, but we don’t want them on the end of goal scoring opportunities. The midfield three is quite flat, so you’re going to be vulnerable to a counter attack, especially if the team has the pace to take you on the outside. 

If you are utilising bigger, more powerful forwards, then long ball can really work. Physical players are particularly effective this season as there is an abundance of smaller centre backs in the game.The opposing wingers will also stretch the middle three, which could create holes for their midfield to come through. 

So, yes, the formation has its flaws but with the right player instruction, could suit more direct players who prefer long balls and through passes rather than spreading the ball out wide. I don’t like this formation, but it is popular in FC 24. For me, it’s too narrow and doesn’t make use of the pace from the wide areas. 

It does work if the full backs go forward, so the right player instructions here are absolutely vital. The major plus is that you can have three strikers on the pitch, so you’ll effectively have three sharpshooters who could offer more than wingers in front of goal. 

He picks the 4-2-2-2 as his ‘meta’ formation, and here is how he sets it up. If you are getting started in FC 24 Ultimate Team, check out the FC best Premier League starter squad. So early on buy EA FC 24 Coins in the game you will have a tight budget, so these players can get the job done.
