I use to play that but then my brother coppied me so we cancel each other out! need to thrash him so any suggestions?

4-4-2
Let one of your CM mark a forward and then bring a CB to mark the CAM
And then mark the other forward with the RB or LB ex. RS---LB LS---RB
and if u need to stop a winger then use the LM or RM to get him.
Also if the CDM needs to be stopped then use a forward to get him.
It all depends on what team and what type of game plan you are using.

ahhh i see, thanks man, sounds like a plan, so basically man mark players, eh?

 

[NGAFOOTBALLKING]

Yeah, but the key thing is to make sure you stop the CAM at all costs because thats where all the attack starts. So make sure your CB gets to him before he can do anything with the ball.

But you need to pratice this before you use it.

alrighty, thanks mate! i was gonna try 1-4-3-2 but i shall try 4-4-2!

5-3-2 tactics: wingplay and 3rd man release and attacking style, so attack..

great stuff, what about the CAM? thats where the problem comes in to defend against..

Also im been experimenting with 4-3-1-2. Id only use this if you are a very skilled fifa player.
And about the CAM just have one of your CBs come and mark him. Get on him as soon as he gets the ball. Doing this your should have no problems!

haha thanks man, i actually tried it and it worked for a while but 4-4-2 and barca's formations, 4-2-3-1 are the two that work best, i man mark the CAM with one of the defending mids and it works wonders, 4-4-2 makes it a tad bit confusing.

 

[NGAFOOTBALLKING]

Yea it is but you got to practice with it for a while before you use right.

 

[abbas.somji]

ahhh i see, i'll get it right!
