  • The other CM should be a player who is quick and has great passing like Bernardo Silva. Put him on Balanced and Cover Center.

How to play the 4-3-3(2) in FUT 23 :

The best way to play the 4-3-3(2) is to be patient and work the ball around as much as you can. Try not to only play through the center. Instead try the long balls to the wingers.

One of the most effective way to score would be to pass the ball to the winger. When he reaches the edge of the box do a roll roll and go for an outside foot shot. Make sure that you have a right footed player on the right side and a left footed player on the left side.

You need to use the width of the formation to your advantage. Stop trying to pass the ball to the striker the moment you get it. This basically ruins your striker’s positioning. Since this formation does not have a CAM or a second ST you need to be very careful about your striker’s movements.

Crossing the ball would also work pretty well with this formation.

There you go, that is the best custom tactics for the 4-3-3(2) formation in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
