Player Instructions for Each Role
To make this formation truly overpowering, your player instructions need to synchronize perfectly.
Striker (ST)
Stay Central
Get In Behind
Stay Forward
Your striker must be your focal finisher — ideally a quick, clinical forward like Mbappé, Osimhen, or Rashford. He will occupy defenders and stretch the backline vertically.
Left and Right Wingers (LW/RW)
Cut Inside
Get In Behind
Come Back on FC 26 Coins Defense
This makes your wingers behave like inverted forwards when attacking, allowing them to exploit half-spaces and create shooting lanes.
Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM)
Stay Forward
Free Roam
Get Into the Box for Cross
Your CAM — a creative hub like Bellingham, Musiala, or Bruno Fernandes — links midfield to attack. The "Free Roam" instruction allows for unpredictable positioning and chance creation.
Left Defensive Midfielder (CDM #1)
Stay Back While Attacking
Cut Passing Lanes
Cover Center
This player anchors the midfield — use a pure destroyer such as Rodri, Casemiro, or Declan Rice.
Right Defensive Midfielder (CDM #2)
Balanced Attack
Cut Passing Lanes
Cover Center
This second CDM (like Valverde or Barella) should help progress the ball forward and assist in transitional play.
Fullbacks (LB/RB)
Stay Back While Attacking (or Balanced if confident)
Overlap
Normal Interceptions
If you're skilled at defending transitions, switch them to "Balanced Attack" to support your wingers. Otherwise, keep them conservative.
Center Backs (CBs)
Stay Back While Attacking
Normal Interceptions
Stick with agile yet strong defenders who can handle pace — think Upamecano, Koundé, or Van Dijk.
Goalkeeper (GK)
Comes for EA FC Coins for sale Crosses
Sweeper Keeper
A modern keeper like Donnarumma, Alisson, or Ter Stegen fits perfectly here.
