4-3-3 formation (2), a Meta option?

As this guide is published, the 4-3-3 (2) formation is an attractive option on EA FC 24. It will therefore be suitable if you want to evolve in Rivals or FUT Champion, although we consider it important to use a tactic that corresponds to your style of play. Effective and above all, very easy to handleit is however one step below a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-2-2-2 at the time we publish this guide.

Furthermore, our tactics here are more aggressive than for the 4-3-3 (4) which we published recently, therefore presenting an alternative for times when you need to get back to the score.

Also note that training must be directly linked to your players to be effective. Some cards are only Meta in specific circumstances. We will discuss this point later in our guide.

The best tactics for 4-3-3 (2) on EA FC 24

Here we list the personalized tactics for this training. Note that to access these tactics, simply go to your club and open the drop-down menu with L3. We recommend saving this tactic on a different game plan than the base one, so that you can easily change it during the game.

Possible changes : Although the point of our tactics is to take the whole thing as is to obtain the desired result (Meta training), it is possible to modify some elements according to your preferences.

Here, the Corners aspect is changeable, from 1 to 3 although we consider 2-3 to be the most effective. In the area is also modifiable, between 3 and 5. Be careful however, as for Corners, the higher the number, the greater the risk of counterattacks. The depth could be changed to be lower, typically around 55-64, to reduce the risk of being easily countered. However, 71 depth provides regular pressing.

Instructions for 4-3-3 formation (2)

Here we list the instructions to place for the different players, according to their position. This element is extremely important in the function of the tactic and its training, don’t forget to complete them well, otherwise the whole thing will not work as well. If there is no specific instruction on the position, the instruction remains by default.

• BU: Axial Position – Behind the defense
• AG: Coming back to defense – Behind the defense – Into the box
• AD: Coming back to defense – Behind the defense – Into the box
• MCD: Climb – Cover the wing
• MCG: Stay behind in attack – Cover center
• MDCD: Stay behind in attack – Cover center – Aggressive interception
• DG: Overflow
• DD: Overflow

Possible changes : If you do not have a BU with good AI or/and if its defensive performance is high (Kane style), you can add the Stay in Front instruction. However, the idea is to have the attackers return a little to the midfield in order to restart the game more easily forward.

Meta players for 4-3-3 formation (2) on EA FC 24

Without making an extremely exhaustive list, we present here Meta players to play with our tactics on the 4-3-3 (2) formation on EA FC 24. Here again, the idea is to be able to compare with your club to be sure that the tactics presented here will be ideal for you.

On attack

For the role of BU, we are here on a player who will be relatively alone in the center of the area. Thus, a physical option, like Haaland, could be more effective. However, the more Meta BUs will also be playable here, especially if you build off your Scorer rather than using it purely for finishing.

Examples of players in BU : Eusebio, Mbappé, Henry, Haaland, Osimhen RTTK, Openda RTTK, Jota.

For the two positions of AG and AD, we are in the presence of pure and hard-line attackers on the wings. So, the ability to make the difference in a duel and create space is extremely important. We therefore appreciate flexible and agile players, with a high offensive output and if possible, a correct passing game.

Examples of ATG players : Ribery, Vinicius Jr, Diaz RTTK, Son POTM, Neymar, Leao, Fati Evolutions, Chiesa, Pedro Gonçalves RTTK.

Examples of players in ATD : Garrincha, Al Owairan, Saka RTTK, Cole, Salah TOTW, Dembélé, Messi, Diaby, Raphinha.

In Midfield

In the role of the MCD, we are on a box-to-box, or even a rising MC. So, we are looking for someone capable of defending a little, with if possible a high defensive output but a medium will also work.

Examples of players in MCD : Gullit, Zidane, Matthaus, Valverde, Bruno Fernandes, De Bruyne, Musiala.

The ideal here would be to have a pure MDC, with a medium/high yield. A great physique who will truly be your doorman. A card with several defensive playstyles is a real plus, as is good acceleration.

Examples of MDC : Vieira, Makélélé, Laimer RTTK, Tonali, Kanté TOTW, Tchouaméni.

For the second MDC, two choices are possible. The first, opt for a pure MDC as listed above. It would be possible to use a duo with a fairly large MDC like Tchouaméni and a second smaller one, like Kanté TOTW or Coquelin RTTK. A second choice is to go for a Box-to-box with a lot of defense, with a high/high yield. This option is more aggressive but would allow some players to get a more offensive formation there.

Examples of more offensive MDC players:
Matthaus, Marchisio, Bruno Guimaraes RTTK, Bellingham.

In defense

Since the fullbacks are moving up in attack, we will look for options with high offensive output and a good combo of speed, agility and passing game.

Examples of DG : R Carlos, Cole, Cancelo TOTW, Karchaoui TOTW, Grimaldo TOTW, Rolfo, Davies, C. Henrique Duo Dynamique, N. Mendes.

Examples of DD : Cafu, Zanetti, Hakimi, Dodo RTTK, Bellerin RTTK.

For central defenders, the ideal is to choose Lengthy options, with at least one of the two having a tall height (1m90+). A duo with one option a little more powerful and the other smaller and more agile is interesting.

Examples of duets in DC : Kompany and VVD, Maldini and Kalulu RTTK, Varane and Koundé, Saliba and Gvardiol.
