A fascinating technique, the FIFA 20 Formations 4-3-3 Attack must be applied by players who like to run with all the ball and make things come about. Think of it as a variant on the 4-2-3-1 wide, but together with your defensive and wide midfielders pushing up.

Key player/position: For the very reason we have just mentioned, they key players are the two CM's. Check they have great stamina and that they will hold their runs so you're not leaving your back four completely exposed.

Most suited style of play: Wide areas are a crucial part of the success criteria for this formation. Again, focus play initially through the central areas before distributing to wider players. Also suits a counter attacking style of pl
