  • How to Choose the Best Formation in FIFA 17 Ultimate Team

    By Shirley Huang2016-10-25

    As we all know, a great formation is very important in FIFA17. As an old saying goes: Well begun is half done. If you want to win in FIFA 17, you need an appropriate system to meet your playing style.

    Whether you are playing Ultimate Team, Seasons, Career Mode or just a simple Kick-Off match in FIFA 17, you always have to decide what formation to use. Obviously, your formation depends upon the team that you are using, but sometimes systems need to be tweaked in order to get the best out of your players.

    Here is FIFA 17 formations guide provided by Mmogah, which can help you get a clear picture of some important formations in the game.

     

    There are a total of twenty-five formations that you can play around with. We have broken down some important formations to help you choose the best formation in FIFA 17. However, you should keep your unique playstyle, and make sure your playstyle goes well with your formation.

     

    What do I need to know about the formation?

    - Before you decide directly on a formation for your ultimate team, you should first experiment with different formations. After many games, you will be able to know whether or not you are suited for this formation.

    - If you have favorite players, and they are absolutely useful in your ultimate team, you can choose a formation that fits these players.  

     

    3-4-3 Formation

     

    If you try and use this formation, the opposition may drop deeper and it becomes impossible to get in behind. You need a big and powerful striker who can head the ball. That means this formation needs a LW and RW offer more opportunities to go forward, but the middle part is weak. It is recommended to purchase a LM and RM with high defensive rates to support the 3 CBs.

    Advantages

    - Create lots of chances going forward (especially from wider areas);

    - Great for players who often cross the ball;

    - Excellent for leagues/nations with an abundance of wide players;

    - Great for leagues/nations without decent/affordable LB and RB;

    - Works well on the counter attacks.

    Disadvantages

    - Susceptible to counter attacks;

    - No CDM and only 3 CB can bear pressure;

    - No CAM/CF means building up team may be more difficult through the midfielders.

     

    3-5-2 Formation

     

    In the 3-5-2 formation, the central midfielders often run beyond the strikers, as the forwards often need to create the width, which is very difficult for the opponent to handle. You need at least one pacey striker up top (Paulo Dybala), and your wide players need serious stamina. It is important with three backs that can bring the ball out of the defense, allowing the wide midfielders or wing backs to push up. The one worry is that sides in a 4-3-3 could get the round the back of your defense regularly.

     

    4-1-2-1-2 Formation

     

    This is a popular formation to use on ultimate team. It is very well-balanced with a holding (CDM) and attacking (CAM) midfielders. The balance comes from the fact that there is a CDM in front of the 2 CBs to help out defensively, and a CAM behind the 2 STs to help create attacking opportunities. This formation also offers width with a LM and RM. It seems that it is easier for opponent to keep possession in this area. 

     

    4-2-3-1 Formation

     

    This is the most common formation. 4-2-3-1 is a reliable system on FIFA 17, since it is incredibly well-balanced, with the likes of Arsenal, France and Germany still champion it. The key area is holding midfield partnership, as one of them will be needed to perform the box-to-box role, but the lack of wide players may allow the opponent to push their full back forward and create crossing opportunities.

     

    4-3-3 Formation (It is widely used and favorite formation by many players)

     

    This is a fantastic formation for players who prefer to make use of crossing the ball from these positions. This formation utilizes wingers and allows them to play right up close to the touchline. If you like to play wide and spread the ball, this formation should work well with your playstyle, but this formation puts much pressure on wingers.

    Advantages

    - Great for players who prefer to cross the ball;

    - Fantastic balance in all areas.

    Disadvantages

    - Narrow formation may be difficult to play through the middle;

    - Forces responsibility on wingers to create goals.

    Actually Formations have right or wrong, and there is no formation which can beat all opponents. It is only a program to build a team. If you think the formation is good, but it is not suitable for your playstyle, you can adjust the team’s offensive and defense capability.
