FIFA 23 has been a massive success due to its newly implemented HyperMotion2 Technology. This technology has completely changed the way many players approach the pitch.
All types of formations and custom tactics can now make an impact, but a pro player found that the 4-3-2-1 could really help players looking to use a more aggressive counter attack.
This formation could be the difference between staying in Division 8 and making it all the way to Elite Division.

This formation may seem a bit defensive, but it really helps to open up the wings and give your CF more room to breathe and create.
It can be deadly on the counter, but it’s also great for creating changes when you have one of the meta central midfielders in FIFA 23.
This is due to their high dribbling and passing stats which allow them to weave passes through where others can’t.
It’s also better when you’re using high-rated strikers with high level shooting attributes.
