How to Pick the Best FIFA 17 Formation

 

Before you even start to sign players, you should start by setting the best FIFA 17 formation that you will implement on your squad. If you leave the decision for later, you will not equip your squad with players who you really need and you will be penalized in the individual and squad chemistry. You can solve the problem by buying new players and, in certain cases, positioning cards but the investment will be very high. There is no better formation than another. All of them have strong and weak points. You should decide which one is better to you.

 

The most common question is: How do I decide the formation that I will use?
There is no exact answer, but you should consider a few factors:

    What is your play style?
    Do you often attack by the wings ? Do you enjoy possession ? Do you have a patient style ? Do you often play in counter-attack ?
    With which formation you are most familiar and which ones you like most?
    There is any formation that let’s you more comfortable ? Did you have better results with some formation?
    Into which formations the players that you think are essential fit?
    The attributes and skills of your essential players can be better used in some of the formations?
    What are the formations best suited to the goals you set for your FUT 17 clubs?
    Do you want to try to win all the matches even taking risks or do you will be happy even not winning all the matches ?
