Seandimes 4222 possession - guide (currently under construction)
Tactics:
Balanced on defense allows us to pressure the opponent, while still maintaining our defensive shape. You can play around with depth and width depening on your team, and the opponent you face. If you have slow defenders, or are having problems defending counters, you can lower the depth by 1-2 bars. Against narrow formations, you can narrow the width a bit.
This is the biggest change I made post patch. Possession in the 4222 actually works very nicely. It gives us a lot of passing options, something that the 4222 usually lacks. You can still counterattack well, although of course not to the level of longball or fast buildup.
6 width is something @Nivaze came up with, and it is very effective, especially when paired with the "possession" custom tactic. The higher width gives our strikers more room to work with, while our wide cams will still play quite narrow thanks to the possession tactic.
6 players in box makes our cdms push further up the pitch, which is all we need to create chances.
Instructions:
In my opinion teams in FIFA play much more fluent if you apply as few player instructions as possible. Often you have the player instructions counteracting what the custom tactic aims to do, and it creates a bit of a mess.
Mandatory instructions:
- Fullbacks stay back/overlap
Optional instructions:
- Stay back on the more defensive cdm: You can add this if you need a bit more cover in midfield
- False 9 on one of the strikers: Add this if you have trouble moving the ball forward/the gap between midfield and attack is too big.
Player selection:
SOON!

I might try Morales soon as I’ve heard good things about him. Also Frenkie OTW to replace Arthur soon as an investment.

@gresh1978 Bundesliga is a bit hard, since they dont really have any good and cheap players. But I ll get back to you later
@burken how about smth like that https://www.futbin.com/20/squad/8286738 ? little bit over budget, but should be the best team for the price
@Seandimes thanks mate.
Thats the best Bundesliga squad I could come up with. To be honest I dont think the team would play that well, but its a decent starting point. The Bundesliga is just really lacking in affordable striker options
Thanks for that mush. This is what I came up with earlier.
Will look at merging the two some how. I have Brandt in my club would he work in CM/CDM?

I’m also using near identical tactics lol.
I’ve noticed fast build up is pretty nice this year.
Good to see you back man, how are you liking fifa 20 so far? Fast build up is great. I started on balanced, and the players where making no runs, just kind of standing around. With fast build up, its much better.
Ben Yedder is picking up right where he left of in Fifa 19. Think the card will stay in the club for a long time. Im really liking the gameplay at the moment, lets hope they leave it just as it is

What squads are you guys using atm btw?
I’m rolling with this and so far it’s been great! The next changes I’m currently aiming for is to replace Eder for Marquinhos and possibly get Insigne, Allan and Lozano instead of Yedder, Cyprien and Gelson.

I’m also finally getting back in my old fifa shape, it’s been a while since I’ve played.
So far the game has been great, just need to learn to defend still.
I can also highly recommend Yedder, by far the star of my team. I can also recommend Kimpembe, Paulinho and Alex Texeira, especially Texeira is a really great striker.
I just need to find a replacement for Balde but I need him to get Yedder on 10 chem. I’m considering to get either Sisokko or Ndombele and Saint Maxim and play Yedder on 8 tho.

I haven’t played too many games yet but so far I like it alot better than 19, I’ve noticed that drag backs are really effective this year which is great because I use them alot.
Ben Yedder was also the first card I picked up, he’s really killing it upfront with Alex Texeira for me who is also amazing for just 2k!

I have never been a fan of Ben Yedder in previous Fifa games, but this year he is unreal. He runs the show in my 433(5) as CF, and in the first two games in the 442(2) he scored 7 goals. WOW !

Here's my squad and CT.
Upgrades will likely be Militao for Hermoso and Ferland Mendy for Antunes.
Vidal is H/H this year instead of M/M, he feels great and a bargain if you can snipe him under 12k like I did.
Fernandes is a beast, currently 23 goals in 18 games, really good on the ball, H/H and 6ft tall.
Packed Varane untradeable in rewards.
All the rest gained through various packs and trading, no FP for me this year.
Bench is:
CB - Diego Carlos
CM - Arthur
LM - Martial
RM - Bergwijn
CAM - Payet
ST - Jovic
ST - Gamiero
I use 4231(2) for chemistry:
