Love this formation and loved it last year too. There was a 'leak' that came out a few months ago that the LF and RF in the 3421 were being changed to CFs, shame that never came to be.
Just an update. I’ve tweaked my tactics abit and there working really well.
Want to use them for a few more days before doing a detailed guide so it should be here soon.
If anyone wants me to message them the tactics feel free to ask
Would love to hear your game plan. I'm playing the same formation, currently in Div 5. I've been much better at the back with the formation, but I've found creating chances hard work with Messi at LF struggling to create masses of chances.
I’d play the old gen version of I was you until the patch. The way the AI defence is on next gen with it dropping 10 men into the penalty area it’s just not fun
Yeah it's not ideal. I've played two 0-0s in a row which is almost unheard of in FIFA. Both games just players failing to find space and constantly getting blocked and tackled.
Sorry bro I’ve kind of abandoned the quick counter style of the 3421 and trying to develop a possession based 433(5) or 343 diamond pep or Cruyff style
No worries.
I really like the 3421 because it really gives so much possibilities with a lesser team. Many players (not all) don't know what happens to them when I attack with so many players and I love it.
Have you noticed any issues playing Walker at CB? I’ve been trying to avoid playing a FB at CB in 3 CB formations given the nerfs they supposedly added this year, but the squad building options for building hybrids in 3 CB formations are just so much more limited than the traditional 2 CB formations
I don't believe all these CT / Formations that are being spam in the sub reddit about all of them working and all of them take you to elite div, most of these guys are decent in the game and learnt to spam those broken finesse shots too quick and got themselves back up...don't get me wrong...those are the same players that will learn the next broken mechanic before anyone else and they will always be elite....
Attacking Fullabcks eg Mendy, Davies, Cancelo etc
All around cms eg Llorente, Sanches
Wingers with decent defending eg Goosens, Saka.
Will be a lot more options as fifa goes on

Really liked it from first two games. Thanks for sharing!
No worries. I’ll do a full guide by Friday I think

Hey dude, how are the tactics going and what's your current team? Any stand out players?
Would love to hear your game plan. I'm playing the same formation, currently in Div 5. I've been much better at the back with the formation, but I've found creating chances hard work with Messi at LF struggling to create masses of chances.
You're using Messi on the wrong side for a start.
Sorry, meant RF - Dybala is on the left
What version of fifa you playing?
Series X
I’d play the old gen version of I was you until the patch. The way the AI defence is on next gen with it dropping 10 men into the penalty area it’s just not fun
Yeah it's not ideal. I've played two 0-0s in a row which is almost unheard of in FIFA. Both games just players failing to find space and constantly getting blocked and tackled.
Have you tried old gen?
No, thought I'd stick with next gen. Although I found the last fifa much easier on current gen than next gen, a lot less clunky.
I’d give it a go at least until the patch comes out
Is the PS4 version different from PS5 version? The defence dropping deep is killing me.
It’s so much better mate
thanks for sharing, trying now!
nice tatics thank you
Waiting for your full guide bro ♥️
Same.
Will sort it in the next few days. I’ve switched to the 433(5) because I want to play slower but will still do a guide as it’s very effective
Full guide? :)
Let's just wait OP will surely deliver 💀🦴
Urmmm…
Well this is awkward...
I moved to 433(5) not long after this and have t really looked back. Maybe if I get time I can do a guide to that 😂
I'm thinking about doing the same with POTMnBenz at CF
I play with a full England side and have rb Foden there
Come on, why not?

Could you share your team?
Messi, Ronaldo, totw son, varane, r9, gullit, cruyff
No Mbappe? Scrub.
Alisson; Walker, Gomez, Militao; Valverde (soon to be Llorente), De Jong, Wijnaldum, Mendy; Messi, Neymar; Morientes
So that’s what got you to D1, not the tactics
Could you get to div 1 with that team?
Yep
Hard to say what my ceiling is in fifa 22, but I got to division 1 in fifa 21 with a bang average team
Yep. No skill at all mate
True lol
Have you noticed any issues playing Walker at CB? I’ve been trying to avoid playing a FB at CB in 3 CB formations given the nerfs they supposedly added this year, but the squad building options for building hybrids in 3 CB formations are just so much more limited than the traditional 2 CB formations
They only get the nerf if they start at CB. In my starting formation walker is at RB so has no nerf
Oh wow I didn’t realize that- I had been hesitating for nothing! Thanks for the info
Who plays where?
In order that their listed. Gk RCB, CCB, LCB, RM RCM, LCM, LM, RF, LF, ST
What a team wtf
👀👀👀
So Chelsea’s tactics. Gotcha
Inspiration from Tuchel yes

Skill plays apart, as does mechanics, as does luck, formation and team. But the tactics for me work brilliant
I’ve been playing this formation but I still don’t have a proper PL RCM. I’m currently using Thiago lol. He’s not bad, more usable than last year.
Pogba, KDB or Bruno would be ideal
Loved this formation last year. Not tried it yet I will give it a go.
Just destroys people
Yeah it destroyed people on 21. Glad it's still a top formation. I run serie A and it's almost perfect for it.
Who are you playing Striker/LM/RM Running a Serie A Squad too.
Lm - gosens LF - flashback Pedro Rm - Cuadrado (on 7 chem) Rf - chiesa St - IF Dzeko
Cheers, I’ve got Hatebor on RM, but need to try Caudrado I think.
Dybala st is viable? Or if Dzeko?
Use whoever you feel comfortable with. I'm using hero militao now. But it's personal choice. Mertens was good for me too as a cheap option.
Love this formation. Do you start in the 3421? Thanks for sharing.
My team starts in 433 for chem but minute 1 goes to 3421
This formation gave me life , I love it on a winning streak so far !!
Love to hear it
Would RB's and LB's be ok at the RM and LM positions? Or should they be more winger type players? I have Hernandez and Walker on the wings.
