How to change formations in FIFA 22 custom tactics?
The second screen of FIFA 22 Custom Tactics allows you to change your formation from what your team will initially start out in. Simply select the formation you want them to change to, and then press Y/ Triangle to swap players around within this new formation. The third tab, ‘Instructions,’ is one of the most valuable.
Can you change formations and positions in a game?
You can change formations and positions they will still keep the chem they start the game with. A striker on 10 chem swapped to gk will still have 10 chem.
What is width and depth in FIFA 22?
Width: Refers to how spread or compact your players are when out of possession. We'd recommend keeping this quite neutral due to how potent crossing is in FIFA 22. Depth: In theory, refers to where your players sit on the pitch when out of possession.
Do player instructions reset when you change formation?
What about the player instructions you have on them like stay back while attacking etc does this reset when you change formation like it does if you change formation before you start the game? You will have to redo the instructions if you change formations.
4-4-2 Holding
The conventional 4-4-2 is quite adaptable, meaning that you can make it as offensive or defensive as you like with your Custom Tactics. But if you're opting for the 4-4-2 Holding then there's a good chance you're looking to keep it tight at the back.
4-1-2-1-2 Narrow
The 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow isn't massively adaptable, as your Custom Tactics are likely going to rely on your CDM being assigned to Stay Back While Attacking and your CAM to Stay Forward so that your strikers don't get isolated. We'd recommend you keep your strikers up the pitch, allowing your CAM to feed them as they make Forward Runs into the box.
Defensive Tactics
Defensive Tactics, unsurprisingly, refers to your team's shape when your opponent has possession of the ball. This determines how your team tries to win back possession, and how your team works to prevent the opponent from scoring.
Offensive Tactics
Offensive Tactics refers to how your team operates in possession. This includes how you build out from the back, and the approach your attackers take when outside your opponent's box. You settings here will determine how you penetrate your opposition's defence, and ultimately score goals.
Changing Custom Tactics in FIFA 22
Custom Tactics can be accessed from the ‘Squad’ menu in Ultimate Team. This can be accessed by pressing down on the left analog stick from the main FUT menu.
Editing Game Plans
All of this may seem like a lot of complex settings to tweak, but that’s not all. At the very top of the FIFA 22 Custom Tactics screen, you’ll notice that it has ‘Edit Game Plans – Balanced’ just above the four tab names.
