Although having good players is a guarantee in FIFA 22, the reality is that without using the best formations you’re going to have a pretty bad time. It doesn’t matter if you have the best defenders, midfielders and forwards, if you don’t have a scheme that allows you to squeeze them to the fullest, it won’t do much good.
You will not find a single definitive tactic here, but there will be several to choose from. If you have started recently and have players in different positions, take a look at all the formations that we propose to find the one that you can complete more easily.
