3-1-4-2 Formation

Mode: Attacking / Midfield (Moderate)
Formation Base: 3-5-2
Available in: FUT / Career Mode / Kick-off / Tournaments

Suitable for the games you’re trying to win and you need to concede no or less goals at the same time.

3-1-4-2 is a variation of 3-5-2 formation where a defender (preferably a sweeper) helps midfielders on attack and defence. Like in 3-5-2, this formation is heavily reliant on the wing-backs providing width for the team. The wing players are more withdrawn in favour of one of the central midfielders being pushed further upfield into the playmaker position.

Suggested Counter Formations: 4-5-1 / 4-1-3-2
