Want to get better at FIFA Ultimate Team? With our line-ups, you can send your eleven onto the field in the best possible way. The best formations, tactics and instructions are here.
Are you looking for the best lineups in FIFA 22? Congratulations, you came to the right place. Thanks to our partner NikLugi , we get helpful tips from a true FIFA professional. Together with him we will tell you which formation, tactics and instructions are the best for FIFA Ultimate Team.
Of course, one thing is also clear: the first thing you need is a good team, because it’s only worth looking for a good line-up if you have the right players. In other words, even the most sophisticated 3-5-2 with tipping flanks and shifting offense won’t help you if you’re starting with a bad roster in Ultimate Team. So build a good starter team first .
FIFA 22: The Best Lineups – Formations – Tactics – Instructions
Basically, you can set your team in three different categories before you start a game. The formation determines the most important thing, namely the formation in which your team acts. You know, back three, back four, 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. The possibilities in FIFA 22 are very diverse.
Once you have decided on a basic formation, you should also look at the tactics. Here you can tell your team whether to press, how to behave after losing the ball, or whether the wing should be narrow or wide. And much more. This will be discussed in detail in a moment.
Finally, you should look for the individual instructions. Your full-backs are extremely high all the time and don’t defend properly? You probably haven’t set them to “stay behind on attacks.” The instructions are also extremely helpful in FIFA 22 to give your individualists exactly how to run across the field.
Well, you probably already know the individual menus – really little has changed over the years. Time to go through the best lineups.
4-2-2-2 – Die FIFA 22 Meta-Formation?
The 4-2-2-2 was already very popular in FIFA 21. With the stable back four and potentially four attackers up front, the system is both compact on the defensive (two sixes help, of course) and dangerous on the offensive.
The 4-2-2-2 seems to be emerging as one of the strongest formations in FIFA 22 so far. You should adopt the following tactics and instructions if you want to be successful with this formation:
Defensive:
- Balanced/pressing after losing possession (if you are behind)
- 45 width
- 50 depth
Offensive:
- Balanced
- Direct Passes
- 50 width
- Players in the penalty area: 6
- Corners: 2
- Free kick: 2
Instructions:
- RV/LV: Stay behind when attacking
- ZDM: One stay behind when attacking – one balanced
- ZOM: stay ahead
- ST: Nothing/ Defense overrun
Whether you prefer to play “balanced” or press after losing the ball is of course a question of the score and your own quality, as well as that of your opponent. Be careful not to act with pressing for more than 90 minutes (especially not with permanent pressing), otherwise your players will lose their stamina extremely quickly.
4-3-2-1 – The world champion formation
None other than MoAuba finds the 4-3-2-1 nice. In FIFA 22, too, the FIFA 19 World Champion seems to be relying on this line-up, among other things. Of course, professionals have always practiced several formations – but playing with the same line-up as a world champion sounds really nice.
Many YouTubers rely on the variable formation. On the offensive, a lot happens in the center – but thanks to the compact midfield, your defense is not left completely alone. Use these tactics and directions to make the 4-3-2-1 the strong formation:
Defensive:
- Balanced
- 35 width
- 50 depth
Offensive:
- Balanced
- Direct Passes
- 40 width
- Players in the penalty area: 7
- Corners: 1
- Free kick: 1
Instructions:
- RV/LV: Stay behind when attacking
- ZDM (Central ZM): Stay behind when attacking
- ZMs: One stay behind on attacks – One balanced
- RS and RS: Central orientation and defense overrun
- ST: Stay in front and overrun defence
You really have a lot of freedom with this line-up – but you should only play it if you’re not using crosses and headers. The offensive impresses with concentrated power, with many quick passes you combine your opponent apart.
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
