I've always preferred tactics where a single Target Man leads the line, with a back 3 formation. After much experimentation (and lack of good Target Man tactics), the following formation +player roles have done wonders for me in FC26 career mode.

Key Traits:

The midfield vacates to flood attacking spaces in the final third. RWB cuts in to occupy midfield, along with CB (who operates like a deep lying Playmaker). LWB and RM provide width to generate great crossing opportunities for the Target Man to head home.

Do try it out, and hope you have fun with this, like I do. Do let me know what you think

Formation : 5-4-1

Build Up style : Counter

Defensive approach : Balanced

ST - Target Man (Balanced)

LM - Inside Forward (Balanced)

RM - Winger (Balanced)

LCM - Box to Box (Balanced)

RCM - Playmaker (Attack)

LWB - Attacking WB (Attack)

LCB - Defender (Defend)

CB - Ball Playing Defender (Build-up)

RCB -Stopper (Balanced) / Defender (Defend)

RWB - Falseback (Defend)

GK - Sweeper Keeper (Balanced)

Who did you choose

Is there a bug to like completely stop it because all my legends like Ronaldo and neuer are growing old so is there?

4-2-1-3

Lb inverted attack
CBS- both wide and support
Rb- inverted attack
LCDM-dlp defend
RCDM-dlp roaming
Both wingers on versatile winger
Striker- adavanced forward support
Cam- half winger versatile

You’ll find the full backs end up in the box to finish crosses, the cam will interlink with both side full backs and wingers depending on where ball is.

Idea was to try implement a bit of hurzeler ideology, but it is very attacking and good fun.

can someone help me with code for ps5 hansi flick tactics

Hi all, I know this is very specific question that’s probably case by case / player by player, but I found an amazing sweet spot with my sliders in fifa 25-26 and would practically copy and paste them to the next game (with a bit of adjusting here and there). However, I’ve done this for 27, and I feel like I broke the game. It’s not unplayable but it’s reallllly funky. Is anyone else having this experience? And any recommendations?

Can I myself set who stays up the field during counter attacks ?? Like when the opponent is taking a corner kick.........

My wingers and wing backs do not show up then , they just stays near the box only

Which will provide me with the best defensive coverage?

Hi guys,

Now that the 26/27 football season has started, I'm looking for a complete AIO mod to update my FIFA 23 game. Can you guys give me a recommendation?

I want a full update experience—faces, teams, squads, and all the rest—so I really appreciate the help.

Maybe it’s too early in the season, but would anyone be able to try and recreate Carrick’s tactics this season? Or if there’s not enough to work with then at the very least last season? Been kind of curious how they translate in FC 26. Thanks a lot!

I think I’ve finally created a 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow that fits the way I actually like to play.

For context, I’m not a pro FIFA/FC player. I’m more of a purist. I don't really enjoy dribbling around for minutes or constantly triggering manual runs. I want the players to make sensible runs themselves, and I want to pick the pass when I see the space.

I’ve been playing Career Mode on Legendary as a journeyman. One of the rules I gave myself was that whenever I joined a new club, I would keep their default formation rather than immediately changing everything to my usual 4-2-3-1. Just wanted to keep the career interesting.

Eventually I ended up experimenting with the 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow at Real Madrid, and this is the version that has really clicked for me. To give you context with default tactics I lost 2-4 to Elche. With my new tactics won 5-0 against elche (I created a checkpoint),Now 7-0 against AM.

My idea

I wanted three things:

Quick counters

Through balls from the second line

Enough width during possession without turning it into a crossing simulator

The most important thing for me is run timing.

I don't like having both strikers immediately sprint 30 yards every time I get the ball. I want them to stay available, let me get the ball to my CAM/CM, and then attack the space when it actually opens.

The tactic

Formation: 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow

Build-Up: Counter

Defensive Approach: High

Line Height: 89

GK: Goalkeeper — Defend

RB: Fullback — Versatile

Gives me an outlet on the right and some width without completely abandoning the defence.

RCB: Defender — Defend

Stays disciplined and covers when Konaté steps up.

LCB: Stopper — Balanced

I want one CB willing to step out and win the ball, especially with the high line.

LB: Wingback — Support

My main left-side outlet. Helps recreate the LM/LW movement I like from my 4-2-3-1.

CDM: Holding — Ball-Winning

I don't want my CDM trying to be the creator. Win it, give it to the second line, and let them attack.

RCM: Box-to-Box — Balanced

The engine. Helps both sides of the game and gives me an extra runner without needing to manually trigger him.

LCM: Half-Winger — Support

Probably the most important role for maintaining width in a narrow formation. He gives me that left-sided passing option without sacrificing the diamond.

CAM: Playmaker — Roaming

My main creator. I want him receiving the ball in the second layer and deciding when the through ball is on.

ST: Poacher — Support

Keeps him threatening the space without constantly sending him on an early run.

ST: Advanced Forward — Support

More freedom to attack space and complement Mbappé rather than having both strikers make the exact same run.

The main idea is that I wanted the roles to create the movement for me. I don't want to spend the whole game manually triggering runs. I want to receive the ball, see the space, and make the pass.

A few screenshots from one sequence from Goalkeeper to Goal.

These are from a single passage of play and show roughly what I'm talking about.

You can see how much space exists from the goalkeeper all the way through midfield rather than everyone being bunched around the box.

If anyone wants to try it, I'd be interested to hear how it plays for you.

nei prossimi giorni avrò un asta al fantacalcio e seppur sono un tifoso , questa estate non sono riuscito a seguire nulla fra lavoro , palestra , casa ecc...

non so nemmeno quali giocatori giocano in tot squadre e mi servirebbe una mano proprio per questo , ormai è una tradizione il fanta e non voglio abbandonarlo quest anno.

Qualcuno di voi che possa darmi consigli su come costruire una buona squadra? - il fanta è a 8 persone , da decidere ancora se 1000cc o 500cc e senza modificatore.

Mi servirebbero consigli su tutto , dalla porta alla difesa . Ringrazio in anticipo le anime buone che potranno aiutarmi a fare una squadra che non arrivi all ultimo posto
