3 ATB formations thread
Here is the 352 thread from 19, so I wanted to keep it running in 20 as well. Most likely I`ll build 352 again, although I also want to give another try to 3142 this year.
Looking forward to hear from any 3 ATB fans in this thread!

I usually use 41212(2) and am thinking of trying something different for the start of Fifa 20. Which 3 atb would you guys suggest? I will probably play mostly squad battles at the start.

3412 is massive in th3 demo. Most of your opponents would also not be used to playing against this formation due to the popularity of 4231 or 41212. So I think it can work online. Only problem will be to find RM and LM with high stamina as with Fast Buildup they are constantly running up and down the pitch.
Any suggestions for LM and RM?

I pulled Son, Wijnaldum, Ndombele and IF Malen so I built my squad around them. Very surprised with Van Aanholt, he plays much better than I expected. Not sure what my next improvement will be so I`ll stick with this squad for 1st WL.
@greif44
So do you mid sharing your tactics and instructions?
@EisenErmin sure, mate
Def: 5, 5, pressure on heavy tough
Off: 7, 6, possession
PIs: LM/RM - come back on defense, get in behind, cut inside
CDMs - balanced attack (need to experiment with different CDMs), cut passing lanes, cover center
STs - balanced width, stay forward, get in behind
CAM - balanced

@greif44
I've played ~30 or so Rivals games the last couple days.
The hardest game I ever had was with someone running that exact formation.
Has the front 3 ping pong from the 4-1-2-1-2(2)
The back 3 is solid.
The 2 DM's are a wall.
The wingers literally turn it in to a back 5 at times but then also end up in the box, they're way too effective/don't get drained enough on stamina.
Tempted to try it, I been playing with 4-3-3(2) only as that was my goal this year but not I miss having at least 1 striker partner OR a CAM, but then again my squads are just packed ones with no one overly good and I feel like the 4-3-3(2) needs pretty good CM's to be truly competitive
@RTG20 yeah mate, I've been playing 352 since 17, it's actually very sweaty one as it plays like a mix of 41212, 4231 and 5212. Also many opponents are not used to the way it plays in game.
Defending might be a bit challenging if you've never played it, but overall for me it's much easier to defend with 3 atb than with any other.
It might be hard to play vs some 433s though so usually I have one of my custom tactics slots set to 442 or 41212.

352 is most solid for me
3421 is fun with ST playing as false 9 (Mertens was my favorite player in this role in 19).

If i bother with 20 i plan on trying to move forward with my 3atb systems, and potentionally make a whole gameplan set of 3atb.
So if i do cave and bother with 20, i look forward to catching you with some 3atb chat. But i may be leaving here also.
Sure mate. 20 should be fun for at least first couple weeks

basically there are 2 options: use fullbacks at RM/LM or normal wingers. Usually fullbacks can't shoot and not many have decent dribbling; normal wingers have shooting, skill moves etc but lack defending abilities.
There are some all-rounders like, for example, Perisic - good attacking stats and decent physicality.
In 19 I played most of the time with various versions of Perisic + Cancelo and this winger + fullback duo on the wings worked really good for me so I might use similar combo this year.

3412 and 352 were very similar in 18 and 19, I preferred 352 because it was a bit more defensive taking into account that I always played with at least one attacking CDM
3 ATB were viable in online modes 17, 18 and 19 so I'll keep using them (I barely touch SB unless there's an objective).
Building the squad early after release might be a bit challenging though. Stamina on LM/RM is not really an issue as they get subbed around 60 min anyways.

3412 if u use def mind wingers or wing backs.
352 if you want extra def support from cdms so u can play more attacking widemen .

Perisic 352 tip: when it comes time to make subs, you can always move him to CAM (who likely needs subbing) and bring on subs for your wingbacks.
This essentially gives you an "extra" sub.

Made my 352 starter squad:
L. De Jong, IF Malen
Boetius
Promes, Hendrix, Van De Beek, Hateboer
Ake, De Vrij, Veltman
Zoet.
Last year I used to play with 2 H/M players on the flanks, but Promes (H/M) and Hateboer (M/H) is a really Good combo aswell!

How’s Prome’s getting on for you ? Do you have him on come back on defence ? Only played a few games but been playing 352 and 4411 so still unsure
