with code n what's up y'all for today's

video we're going to be going over the

4231 and the 4231 is a really good

formation primarily because it's really

versatile so it's one of those

formations that you can play for 90

minutes in and out every single game and

not have to worry about needing to

change things as much compared to other

formations really and it's also you know

just a really met formation to begin

with I've said this in previous videos

as well but my favorite aspect when it

comes to the 4231 is how fluid it is in

attack because when you have three cams

even though obviously you have two wide

cams the cam position in itself is just

loaded with a lot of attacking AI so if

you hate playing confined to positions

like you know something the 442 or the

424 where every player is where they're

meant to be if that makes sense the 4231

kind of like diversifies their

positioning a little bit it makes it

more contextual so if you're a Tik taka

type player if you're like passing

around if you're like dribbling around

as well you'll notice that this

formation is going to be perfect for you

because you're just going to notice that

your players are going to be open more

often than not personal preference when

it comes to this formation is that I

haven't played this formation as much as

I should be this FIFA primarily because

I've tried playing with other formations

that are really unmet for the sake of

making videos but if I was ever looking

to just play one weekend League without

changing the formation the 4231 is

definitely up there for one of the best

formations in the game I can't say he

the best primarily because I can never

really say there is a best formation

besides the 4321 because obviously the

4321 works for as many people but the

whole concept of the best formation

doesn't make sense to begin with because

the really the only answer there is is

the formation that plays the best for

you if that makes sense because

ironically speaking I play 20 no every

single weekend League almost and my best

my favorite formation is a 4335 with a

false L and obviously that's horrible

for other people so obviously it's a

matter of what you're comfortable with

it just happens to be that the 4231 and

the 4321 are what uh people find to be

the most comfortable to begin with so if

you use this 42 31 you're probably going

to have a lot of success but yeah going

straight into the custom tactics

obviously I do have it set to my ultra

attacking but that stuff doesn't even

matter to be honest we have defensive

style balance with 49 width and 69 depth

and the only significant differences

this time around is that we use 49

primarily because this weekend league

has been the rattiest weekend League

I've had in a while I've been playing

against a lot of people that play with a

fiveback or a three back or whatever

formation that just bombs the wings or

those people that just Spam cross and um

long balls two wi positions on the pitch

which is really really annoying to play

against and basically the best way to

counter this is to just use a width

above 45 so if you're having that issue

yourself and you're just playing against

people that just keep spamming crosses

aerial balls whatever then I recommend

something between 45 to 49 and I found

49 to be perfect anything wider and it

just opens too much space in the middle

for through balls so I don't like too

much in the middle or I don't like um I

don't like having more than 50 width for

that reason because we still want the

the middle of the pitch to be Compact

and tight and then 69 depth there's

really no specific particular reason why

we choose 69 really all there is is the

fact that we don't want to do 71 and I

have a like Superstition that if I

choose 70 it's going to act as 71 if

that makes sense because if you don't

understand what 71 does it just enables

that overload ball press that offside

trap all that automatic stuff and we

don't need that to be happening we just

kind of want a more relax defense that's

more focused on holding defensive

structure if that makes sense so we

chose 69 and then build up play with

chance creation direct passing I hate

direct passing like I try my best to

make formations without direct passing

CU I'm tactics without it but the issue

is this is one of the pros the cons of

this formation but the cam positioning

if you leave it like on balance or on

possession or anything like that I found

that the cams just aren't making those

penetrative runs especially when you

open up space for them so this is one of

those formations that kind of need

direct passing like you're just if

anything you're kind of putting yourself

out a liability to not play direct

passing on this form Mission which is a

bit of a shame because I've finding a

lot of success playing with um

possession but unfortunately this is not

going to be one of those formations

where possession is going to be usable

in my opinion so we're going to use

direct passing and then we're going to

want a width of 42 when making these

custom tactics I was actually really

frustrated with width because the ironic

thing is when it comes to the 4231 your

width almost doesn't matter at all

because unless you tune it up to 60 plus

your cams are not going to be holding

positions in front of the other team's

fullbacks in the Counterattack they're

going to hold positions in between the

Center back and the fullback so that

isn't necessarily a bad thing but if

you're a player that loves spamming you

know runs in between the touchline and

the other players fullback just left to

Pace abuse basically then you're

probably going to be better off with a

424 or 442 where the players

deliberately instructed to be out y to

begin with but with 42 width even if I

tune it up even higher like the only the

only resolution to this is to turn it

plus 60 but at that point it's just

redundant to do so with 42 with the

players The Wider players The Wider cams

they're going to be structed to tuck in

between the other team's fullback and

the other team Center back which is

obviously still going to be really

usable but like I said if you love

utilizing Pace then this formation won't

really benefit that likewise if you're a

player that doesn't really have really

really fast Wingers if you have players

as Wingers that are just dribblers or

shooters or passes things like that then

obviously the 423 is going to be perfect

for that and then plays in the Box six I

said this in the last video and I'll say

it again it's not a Nai formation if it

doesn't have six players in the Box

quite frankly I don't know how people

can play with like three or four

attackers that that stuff is crazy to me

I don't have fun in this game where I'm

spending most of my time defending like

I genuinely cannot play this game if I

have to like basically just sit back and

defend and hit on a counter of two or

three players like that stuff is gross

to me like I can't have fun with that

and likewise I'm not really the good

Defender so I just love overloading the

other team's attack or sorry the other

team's defense and just maximizing my

options to begin with you'll notice that

when we go to instructions there's going

to be a few things that are different

compared to other people's 42 3 ones and

that's mostly the fact that this 4 2 31

is going to be a lot more aggressive in

the attack than other 42 31s to begin

with if you've watched my previous 42

31s you can probably figure out what it

is and it's going to be the double pivot

Midfield and yeah for that reason is

that why that is why we have six players

in the Box we'll go over that in the

instructions obviously but then Corners

three free kicks two obviously

completely self- preference I know

people that play with one on each it

doesn't even matter to be honest if you

love playing Corners out do two or three

just never do four please that's just

horrible four or five is you're pushing

it you're just going to get destroyed on

the counter attack and then before we go

ahead and discuss the player

instructions if you're not in our

Discord server I highly suggest you join

if you need someone to stay up to date

when it comes to daily content or price

adjustments or figuring out if some new

SBC is worth it things like that or if

you're just looking for overall FIFA

discussion then you can find my Discord

with the link in the description and if

you're not subscribed yet I highly

suggest you do subscribe because I

strive to create the best meta tactics

when it comes to fc24 and I also do

create authentic tactics as well

whenever they're relevant so if get

playing The Meta ever gets boring

because it does for me and go ahead and

subscribe to see my authentic tactics

whenever they're posted and then going

straight to play instructions we're

going to have our Striker up front right

here which is on balanced WID getting

behind stay forward now I see a lot of

people that play with mix attack or or

even false 9 the only issue when it

comes to this formation is obviously

because you have cams instead of

traditional Wingers you're going to need

a player that is forcing the other team

center backs to basically make holes if

that makes sense what I mean by that is

because since those cams by default are

not being instructed to make um

penetrative runs by default all this

does is it allows the other team's

defensive line to not really have to

allow for gaps if that makes sense

because they they don't they don't need

to step up if anything so you're always

going to want a player that's deep

inside the other team's defensive line

that is causing you know issues because

even when that Striker doesn't have the

ball you're going to be opening up a lot

of space for that cam which we'll go

over in a second and that's why it's

important that we have him on state

forward as well because we just need him

to be hugging the other team center

backs causing issues because when

whenever it's relevant he's still going

to be open for or sorry she's going to

be open for shooting opportunities as

well but really the whole gist of this

is to basically invite the cam into a

lot of goal scoring opportunities as

well and you notice that when you do get

to this cam right here who is on

completely default and like I said

earlier the cam position is just

overloaded with attacking AI so if you

can plop that player in a system where

the players around it have Specific

Instructions that cater to this cam

right here then it's just going to cook

so that's why we have them completely

default it's also helpful that we have

that shriker on get behind because once

that Striker gets in behind obviously

makes that penetrative run and then

obviously there's going to be a center

back to accommodate it this cam is going

to utilize whatever space was just

opened up to be completely open and

basically find perfect opportunities for

them to receive the ball in a dangerous

position and if you're really good at

making that final dribble into a

shooting opportunity you're just going

to be scoring goals on top of goals with

this card or sorry with this player same

goes with the right cam right here we're

going to have him on completely default

as well and the same idea goes again

once you get to the final third in that

box position they're going to be doing

the exact same thing as this cam right

here we just want them to obviously be a

little bit more dynamic because since

they're a little bit more wider they

might be in a situation where the other

team's left back is going to be out of

position for whatever reason again the

whole idea is for this player to utilize

spaces whenever they whenever the

opportunity arises but then this time

our left's attacking mid right here it's

going to be on get into the box with

cross but everything else is default now

if you're wondering why we have this one

on get into the box with cross it's more

so because we don't need this player to

be on the edge of the box and when I say

the edge of the box I'm talking more the

side closer to the touch line and the

reason why that's the case is because

just to get straight into it our left

back right here is going to be on Bounce

attack overlap so we need to free up

space by that left left hand side for

this player to make an overlapping run

so if you love to play crosses things

like that then you're going to have an

option through here as well and when

this player makes that overlapping run

we need this player right here to get

actually inside the box and either be

available for the cross himself or just

be available to receive a through ball

for a cut back or anything like that

yeah now that takes us to our dou pip

Midfield which is really the fun part in

my honest opinion and our left mid is

going to be on balance defense balance

attack cover Center so basically just

completely default but cover Center this

time and you're just going to want a

player that is just everywhere on the

pitch so someone with Relentless plus

ideally while also having really

well-rounded stats like stats that can

basically allow this card to do anything

it needs Relentless plus is going to be

perfect for this card and obviously I

don't think hemp has Relentless plus

ironically rice does but hemp doesn't

but it's not really a big deal to be

honest but this player is going to be

running around a lot and it's going to

be pressing high as well which is why we

have him on Balan defense as well

because we want him to chase players

around and Mark players around which

takes us to our actual traditional CDM

who's going to be on Cut passing Lane

stay back while attacking and this

player needs intercept plus especially

at this stage of the game where

intercept plus is pretty easy to get

because intercept plus combined with cut

passing Lanes is it's honestly like so

op it kind of just removes like a huge

skill factor in the game like this

player will just literally be getting

the ball by himself as long as you just

don't control him really how you should

be defending with this formation is you

should be controlling the um left Center

right here and running around from or

the uh the water cams right here this

player right here hopefully you just

never have to touch him unless you're in

a situation where you do have to touch

him obviously then do as it is but when

it comes to intercept plus he just Cooks

so well and most of the times he doesn't

even have to I don't even have to touch

him and then that takes us to our right

back right here who's going to be at

stay back while attacking overlap and

then obviously our two center backs

right here completely stay back and then

our keeper right here is going to be on

Comer cross the sweeper keeper I've been

playing FIFA since like FIFA 18 and

quite frankly the 4231 has easily been

my favorite formation if we're talking

about like my whole basically a whole

life experience playing FIFA if that

makes sense there's just something that

this formation offers that no other

formation in the game offers and it's

just the fact that you have such fluid

attack if that makes sense so basically

every single game is going to look

completely different this is the

complete opposite to formations like the

4321 or the 442 which are really really

linear and really like simple-minded

basically where it's just the same same

form of attack same looking goals it

just happens to be that they're really

easy to score regardless but it's really

predictable it's like the same thing

over and over again it's not as fluid as

this 42 31 so if you're player that

really loves playing fluid formations

where every single attack looks

completely differently then you're going

to have a lot of fun with this formation

but other than that if you like this
