april 2023 right here and the WM formation came back lol

I’ve been reading all week about the Hungarian Golden Team that destroyed England and their WM formation in the 50’s, so this video was well timed

personally an asymmetrical 4-3-3 is one of the formations I've been using recently in career mode(only one winger, the other two in the front 3 being strikers) generally even making small changes to player positions can make huge difference(e.g. in a 3-1-4-2, make one of the CMs into a LAM/RAM, and bring a striker down to a RF/LF to create an asymmetrical formation, also worked well for me), and you can have more freedom/diversity in player signings(or maybe just more fun with random formations)

You can also play WM as a 3-4-2-1 with both LF and RF on false 9

I remember my grandfather explaining me the WM formation because I was confused by him saying his team played with both inner and outer wing players. I will try it on FIFA23

Such an interesting and cool video. Thanks!

This is an AWESOME video idea, i love it!

Thank you for sharing. I love tinkering whit formations in fifa i got too meny central players one day and decided to make it work for me so i made a custom 3-4-2-1 and it works well and still got me tinkering on it. Might share it one day.

Just noticed Pep did the Zona Mista against Nottingham Forest when he played halaand and Alverez

Love a video like this with interesting tactics. Had hard time finding it though amidst all the "BEST META OP FORMATION TACTICS TO WIN GAMES RANK 1 WL"

I’ve seen a club here in the US line up in essentially a 3322 as well as a 2332. I think in FIFA you could start with the 451 attack formation and move one fullback to striker and slide the other over to a CB and more or less have a 3322

Please do more formations, maybe modern ones like how pep builds up in a 235 or a 3223

Wow 😂 city just won a treble with the wm ( and if your team is good enough it’s my favourite career mode formation

Helanio Herrera’s version of Catenccio had a counter attack with wing backs such as Facchetti who scored 10 goals from left back and Sandro Mazzola operated as a second striker. In Midfield Luis Suarez played as a deep playmaker

For anyone looking for an interesting (and weird) formation , i've tried to play a 1 CB 1LB and 1 RB formation. Let me explain So , its a variation i've made of the 3-5-1-1 (the one with 2 CDMs 1 CM And a CF). In this formation you have 3 CB , 2 CDMs 1CM 1LM 1RM , 1 CF and 1 ST. In my variation the LCB and RCB become LB and RB respectively, with only 1 CB remaing. One other change is that the RM and LM become RAM and LAM , while the CF can remain CF (or you can make him a CAM too) In attack you use your LB and RB for the width , the CM for box to box , and the CAMs for playmaking/making triangles with the ST. The CDMs stay back to provide cover. Its more of a possession based formation but you can play counter attack on it too. In defense its a bit weird. LB and RB can become LCB/RCB so that you defend with 3 at the back , the 2 CDMs can stay in front of the lone CB or cover the RCB/LCB spot if the LB/RB is missing or out wide, thus creating a 4 at the back . CM is a bit of a wondering child helping with the build up and the interceptions. And you can either make the CAM to come back , or the LAM and RAM if you want more cover in the wings. Player preferences: -a CB you can rely on physically and technically -Box to box LB/RB and CM -Defensive minded CDMs with interception and some passing (and preferably tall) -LAM/CAM/RAM dribblers that can shoot and/or get in behind -ST whatever you please , either a target man or a "get in behind" agile striker. Sorry for the long comment , hope you have fun and make your own variation too. Glad to hear feedback if anyone tries it : ) -

Great video

cool keep up the good work and videos ❤️🔥😁👏

Smart video idea, love it

I used the tactical set up that you use on table football so a 2 5 3. And it actually kind of worked

Xavi currently plays a variation of the WM formation at Barca & had previously used it at the last club he managed also.

It's all well and good using weird formations, but they won't work how they're supposed to, unless you get the instructions and tactics correct. I even like to sometimes use the "Defensive" and "Attacking" gameplans as "on the ball" and "off the ball" to make it easier for me to make sure the players do the right thing.

Cool great vid man

great vid but can you explain more what instructions should be assigned to players in 2-7-2 Motta's tactic

That first one actually has some honest practical use in the modern game imo, with some slight tweaks. Now I'm hyped to see the rest.

6:30 didn’t age well. Pep just won the treble with it

You could look at the preston invincibles formation and tactics

Please do an Indian Super League ( Hero ISL ) review

i’ve used the wm formation in an arsenal career, it’s difficult to get used to but once you do and have players on the right instructions or tactics it can be quite effective on the counter

Cruyff 343 diamond. use 343 diamond on fifa but change LM and RM to CM's.

After seeing the tactics and how Zona-Mista works, I feel like Barca can try this in real life. They have the player suited to it.

If only my tactics and formations would save

The Zona Mista formation is some kind of 3-5-2 with a CAM ! I THINK SO

WM is back lol

Camera settings?

Its interesting how the zonamista 442 is basically 352 with the lwb being more defensive and rwb more attacking, but coming back on defense. Explains why the formation is used so often in italy

Wm is back 😁

What are the "tactics" for the Zona mista though?, you didn't show that

Does that even work in simulations in Fifa? Edit: I mean the weird looking formations

Catenaccio 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️

smart

🔥

cool

The first tactic is how villarreal have played fór years

👏

❤️

What's with the vile camera angle? How do people play like that 😂

😎

you said evolvement but the word is evolution, not hating just can't help myself

Catennacio on FIFA is pretty useless unless you wanna defend on the last 3 mins : - THE AI IS STILL HORRIBLE AT DEFENDING - The strikers , wingers , etc are always FASTER than your defenders to contest or to win a ball - Defenders in FIFA get outrun big time , you gotta do some big outplay , while attackers can just go braindead - Due to you controlling only one player and not the other 10 players , their positioning AI is horrible, playing outside of the offside positioning - Moreover , defending in FIFA was never a thing , FIFA is all about attacking , with games having like 20+ shots with like 7-6 scorelines - I do feel like pretty RNG how defenders can be , you can always put them as "stay back while attacking" and yet somehow they become Harry Maguires 2.0
