FIFA 22 Ultimate Team is the most popular game mode in the franchise and we have revealed the top five formations to use in the game.

It is crucial that you pick a formation that you are good with and one that also matches the meta of the game.

The FIFA franchise is huge and very successful, and this is mainly due to Ultimate Team. With this popularity, they have turned the game into an Esports as well.

There are an abundance of formations to use in the game, but some are definitely stronger than others and will make it easier for you to win games.

Obviously there are a lot of things to take into account when you are picking a formation in Ultimate Team. This includes the style you play, as well as how defensive you want to go.

There are formations which feature three, four and five at the back, and with a lot of players using the drop back setting in custom tactics, we do see a lot of defensive formations in the game.

Due to this, it is good to make sure you have a formation which covers the defence well, but also is strong in attack as you need to attack a fair amount in order to overcome other players.

With pace and dribbling seen as some of the meta stats in the game, it is important to have a formation which utilises fast wingers. You also want your striker to be rapid so that they keep up with these wingers.

Here are the best formations to use in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team:

4-3-2-1

This formation is great because it has wingers but they also act as centre forwards.

4-1-2-1-2

You might worry about the lack of midfield in this formation, but if you have an overpowered central defensive midfielder, if a great formation.

As you can see, these formations make sure that there are still a good amount of players in the midfield, but also wingers. The 5-2-2-1 obviously covers you the most defensively, and sometimes you can feel like you don’t have enough players upfront; however it is still very overpowered due to the fact that opponents find it very hard to score against you.
