This new meta formation is insane on FIFA 23. I am talking about the 3421 used by Darkey to win the second FGS. He became the European Champion using the 3-4-2-1 formation.

First, we will talk about his instructions. Why the 3-4-2-1 is good and why do I think so that it is a viable formation right for that guys. We all know the 4-3-2-1 is a very good formation. Why is the 4-3-2-1 so good? Because it gives you many passing options and once we put either fullback on balance or join the attack, it gets very threatening.

Right now, imagine with the 3-4-2-1 you have Left Midfielder and Right Midfielder as opposed to Left Back and RP this formation going forwards will give you much more compared to the 4-3-2-1 formation. However, it will lack a bit defensively. If you want to actually improve in FIFA 23, then investing in more FUT 23 Coins is the best decision you can make.

These are Darkey's custom tactics and instructions. His instructions are as follows. The Striker is going to be Stay Central get in behind. LF/RF are going to be balanced. Where are your LM and your RM? They are going to be come back on defense and get into the box for the cross. Come back on defense get into the box for the cross, which is right similarly your CMS.

Both of them are going to be stay back while attacking cover Center and your CBS are going to be a default for the instructions. He is keeping his depth at 65. He is not going for the popular automatic offside traps like the other Pros.

Now, Width is going to be 40, so we need the defense to be compacted. Three at the back. So, you need them to be compact you and you don't want them to spread out too much. Build up play is going to be balanced. Chance Creation is always going to be Direct Passing. Width is going to be 50. Players in the box at six corners and free kicks are personal preference. However, Darkey uses three and two. I prefer 2 and 1 because I always try to play my set pieces short

Now, hold on. Don't think that you're going to play like Darkey play going into games. That is incorrect. You will not be able to play like him, however, you might get more out of this formation. You might be able to get more out of this formation by playing a more offensive style and this might suit you compared to the 4-3-2-1.

So, if you feel like 4-3-2-1 isn't good for you. You need something more. Try the 3-4-2-1. However, this is not a formation that you can use for the entirety of the game. Therefore, I have brought a new formation that you will use once you are leading. You're going to use the 4-5-1(2) variation. You need to pair it up with the 3-4-2-1. It is very important. You cannot play the 3-4-2-1 for the entirety of the game. For the 4-5-1(2), it's a defensive formation.

Our instructions are going to be as follows David Ginola. Our Striker is going to be Drift Wide, Stay Forward and Target Man. Two of your CMS are going to be stay back while attacking cover Center. For me the CM and the RCM/ LCM is going to to be balanced cover Center. Your LM is going to be come back on defense. Your RM is going to be come back on defense. Your RB is going to be stay back while attacking, so is your LB.

For the tactics, you are going to keep your defensive style at balance with 35. We need to suffocate the opponent in the midfield that is going to be 55 since we are winning, we don't want to keep it too low. Because if we keep it too low, then we give too much time to the opponent to think we don't want that to happen. 55 pretty neutral right Build up play is going to be balanced. Transgression once again is going to be balanced.

We don't want Long Ball or Possession. Long Ball will tell our place to run forward too much. Possession will make it too slow right. Therefore, balanced is the best for you. Width is going to be 60. Players in the box is going to be two corners and free kicks at one.
