Fifa 22

[dorsetboy]

Hi guys 

 

im not great at fifa but have managed to work my way to div 4 in rivals , the problem i have now is all the sweaties with their meta custom tactics have taken over and its getting boring . 

 

Mainly due to the fact i cant seem to replicate them to at least have a chance , this is the scenario 

 

when they attack and i get the ball back my cams and striker are on my 18 yard box ( 4-2-3-1) formation 

 

When i attack and they get the ball back  then ping the long ball to one of the 3 men they have just all sitting around past half way line making runs . 

 

anyone know best custom tactics to use for 4-2-3-1 to allow this to happen for  me also ffs 

 

i just dont understand how they can defend and have like 10 men defending the ball and then swoosh 3 men appear upfront waiting for the ball ffs

why don't you swap llorente and silva around, then swap them around ingame? would instantly improve the chem.

That’s my ingame line up, should have said. They’re all on 10 Chem in a 4222

Depth is fine, but I'd narrow up to about 40, make you a little harder to play though.

 

Who are you playing as a striker?

 

CAM: Personally I'd drop the free roam, as it means he is going to drift all over the place. He your playmaker you want him in the middle when you are attacking. Also mean he can help block the middle when defending which will help. I would also stick him on conservative interceptions as he's not wasting stamina. 

 

Do you cross the ball a lot?

 

LAM & RAM: Drop the stay forward, they need them to help defend as you move up the DIVs

CDMs: I'd drop the between defenders on 1 and see how it goes, if you still have trouble defend, change CDM 2 to stay back as well. 

 

With your current instruction you have 4 players staying up field and not helping defend and one CDM dropping into the back 4. Then leave one CDM doing all the work in midfield leave you a massive hole in the middle of your team.

 

Who do you use as CDMs? 

 

Make sure you have decent CDMs, at least one need to be a proper CDM if not both, i,e. they need to have defensive & Physical stats in the 80s and decent pace.

 

Who do you use as Fullbacks?

 

RB and LB stick on conservative interceptions as well as stay back, mean they don't rush out to close when control by the AI.

Well your team definitely isn’t the problem 🤩

[coolhandfox]

@dorsetboy nice team, important to play with a team you like and enjoy.

 

If I was using Parejo and Verratii as CDMs, I'd slap a shadow on them both, buff up their pace and defending stats. 

 

If you are play one as box to box and the other on stay back, I would have Parejo as the box-to-box due to his mid defensive work rate and Verratti as the stay back due to his high workmate.

 

But personally I have both my CDM on stay back. 

 

I'd also look to get better fullbacks if you are struggling to defend in the longer term.

Would you say better fullbacks with better defending and less pace as quite hard to then get the chem

[dorsetboy]

When i say mad pack luck i opened a premium players jobby big one and got

 

Bamba

De brunye

Marquinos

Kimmich

Pace > defending 

 

Mendy and Hakimi would be my pick.

 

But they would make chem harder unless you swap the two wingers over (The RW and LW would still get 7 chem) plus swap the sides of the CM if that makes sense.

 

I will have to have a look at other FB that may work for you.

I’ve just tried to qualify for the fifth time. Missed out in the final game for the fourth time out of five. Removing Champs for me means I’m done with the game.

I’m the same mate. Qualified only twice out of the available attempts. Most recent was last weekend, playing the playoffs on Thursday and Friday made it slightly easier as others advised on here.

 

However for a div 4 player, for me once the new season starts, 20 rivals games to get 2000 points, then 9 games to qualify then up to a further 20 games at weekend league if by a small miracle I did qualify is completely unworkable for me, with a full time job and a young family.

 

They are making it very difficult for casuals to play the most rewarding parts of Ultimate Team, I’m sure it’s completely intentional as well.

Oh absolutely. So many people will be throwing fifa points at it. There’s a lot of online talk about stop moaning and get better but it’s not the point. It’s a huge part of the game previously that has been taken away from a massive proportion of players.

What team, formation and custom tactics are you using, maybe a few tweaks you can make to get you over the line?

 

 

[FerrisBueller]

Still so on the fence about FUT.

Haven’t won a game in a few days, consistently just getting sweated by these teams full of high 80-90 cards, and I’m just sat here with a gold low 80 team. How do people get all these amazing cards? Just sucks the fun out of it for me personally. 
I’m div 1/2 on regular online seasons, so it’s not that I’m bad at the game, I just can’t play against these amazing teams with my fairly good team.

[Swarles Barkley]

Yeah agreed with the above, the play offs are aids. I struggle to get through the play offs then comfortably get Rank 2. Its baffling
