IGN acting like they know how to play FIFA smh

[hokageminato]

I uses 4-1-3-2 for real Madrid
4 def
1 dmf Casemiro
3 AMF with great passing
2 Striker with speed Ronaldo and bale

[sudiptaadhikary]

4-4-2 is really effective if you know how to use short passes and quick link up play between the two strikers.
You can literally take on 5-6 defenders with just two players.

I thought I was going to get a in depth video on which are the best formations in fifa 18, then I realised ign uploaded it....

[StraightEdgeAlexxx]

right now im liking the 4-4-2 and i have never liked that formation before

[MrSilver]

Imagine yanks telling us how to play FIFA. World's gone mad.

[olimphus]

You don't need strong formations, all you need to do is pass it to Messi, pass it to Cristiano (and fast players) and just run. No one will stop you.

I play a 4-3-2-1 formation. Works amazing for me . Passing triangles are key . And yes I play on legendary

[wolfieblackheart]

3-2-3-2 is a better option than most of these because you can switch it to 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-3, and all other standard formations with loads of different coverage both at the front and back around the midfield dominance of it. I've won pretty much every campaign I've done on fifa 18 with it due to being arsenal who have arguably the most diverse squad in the premier league if you manage to get some CDMs and CAMs who can help fill in the weaknesses in arsenals midfield.

[Shreggs]

3-4-3 is also good if you have sprinters like Hector Bellerin and Jordi Alba. They can create some really good chances

[PEPEGAss]

When IGN tells u how to play a game :\

[Mazrati]

I’ve been switching between the 4-3-3 False 9 and the 4-2-3-1 Wide

[MO-zobf]

I think its about time that we “ Men “ make a video on how to choose the right Bra

[voggo]

why is she pronouncing it "fifer 18"

[aloukeita]

4-2-3-1 narrow is the best after having played nearly all formations for the past 8 years

[larry]

Chelsea used/uses 3-4-3 not 5-2-3, I mean come on, it was arguably the most popular formation last season, everyone was talking about it and you still got it wrong. Alonso and Moses play wingback next to Kanté and Cesc. This is what happens when Americans talk about football lol

[NoGivn]

Using Mancity with 451 attack is superb.

[bernhardsonn]

Who also just watches the video just so and won't play with any changes :-D

[tanel]

Most of those formations aren't very effective online 41212 if u need to score and the 4231 to see out the game with a 2 goal lead or so

[dysfynnction]

4-2-3-1 with 3 CAMS is easily the best. It's not in kick-off, but you can create it yourself.
