    Advantages of the 4-2-2-2 formation of NickrtfM

  • The full-backs are very narrow with their own possession and can therefore take the wing attackers of the 4-2-1-3 in their runs. With that you are also well secured against counterattacks
  • With the ZOMs you have both a central offensive midfielder who can ensure goal danger behind your strikers, as well as a wing player who offers you a pass option on the outer lanes
  • The two ZDMS are the engine of your team: they help you in the construction game and defensively cover the center in front of your defense chain against the opposing ST and ZOM
  • Game building style “Short passes” should help you to overcome the opposing pressing: your players will always be offered brief
  • With a defensive approach “aggressiveness” you put your opponent under pressure at an early stage and forces him to make mistakes

    • So you use the advantages of the 4-2-2-2 formation: The expert shows how you can combine thanks to the list and tactical settings with many passes through the middle in an exemplary scene:

    It is important that the numerous playstation in the middle of the field is always looking for you with short passes. Try to fit the ball to the next free player as soon as possible. With that you can play through the opposing rows bit by bit and develop promising final situations.

    Disadvantages of the 4-2-2-2 formation and what you can do about it

  • Problem: wings are only offensive on one side, since the full -backs remain at the back according to the instructions
  • Solution: Try to send your full -back with a double pass (L1+X/LB+A) or manually (L1/LB in the direction of the desired player)
  • Problem: Static attack game and little space in the center by 5 central players (ZDM, ZDM, ZOM, ST, ST)
  • Solution: Give 1 of 2 ZDMS as a deep engine the focus “freedom of movement” or your ZOM The player role engine with freedom of movement or 1 of 2 STS as a shock tower professional the focus “support” or “complete”. You will see that the professionals now switch to the outer positions more often in possession of the ball.

    • If you have familiarized yourself with the line -up, you can always experiment on playing roles and their focus. However, we always recommend that you adjust a position to better recognize the effects on your game.

    Of course, you should not expect the line -up that you will only win from now on. With this formation even the expert concedes many goals.

    However, with this tactic, you will also earn many opportunities with a little practice to always score one more goal than your opponent. A strong striker that you get through one or the other evolution could help you: 13 cheap players for strong evo upgrades
