No matter how good your team is in FIFA 23, the formation you use will play a big part in your performances and results.
FIFA 23 hosts a huge amount of formations to use in-game, with Ultimate Team offering 30 different formations to choose from, whilst every other game mode has 33 to choose from. A new FIFA 23 Ultimate Team formation added this year is the 5-1-2-2, with three-at-the-back and five-at-the-back formations now being seen more regularly in both FIFA and real life.
After the first few weeks of its release, players have started to realise that the trusty formations used in past FIFA's aren't quite cutting it in FIFA 23. Gone are the days of picking the quickest players possible and spamming through balls, with the new gameplay seemingly slowing down play, making it a much more technical game.
