Best 3412 Tactics in FUT 23

Defence

- Defensive Style: Balanced. It is more of an aggressive 352, it does not have defensive midfielders, but center mids, they press a little bit higher, it’s very nice, but we live on hands for the sake of stamina and positioning, so it is recommended to start on Balanced. 

- Width: 35. Take this down to 35 helps with clogging up the middle of the pitch and then you've got the left mid and right mid who support defensively, so those wide areas you got them unlocked.

- Depth: 65. You can also try 60 or 55. 

Offence

- Build-Up Play: Balanced.

- Chance Creation: Direct Passing.

- Width: 50.

- Players in Box: 6.

Best 3412 Player Instructions in FUT 23

- ST: Stay Central and Get In Behind. They work perfectly, you can’t always bring one of the forwards back on the d-pad. 

- CAM: set the attacking midfielder Get Into The Box For Cross, it helps you create more passing options when you are in that final third. 

- LM & RM: the left mid and right mid are arguably the most important positions in this formation, it's going to create a lot of width for you in attack and it's going to stop you from getting exposed defensively. So the instructions are the same, Come Back On Defense, then Get Into The Box For Cross, it allows you to get those back post crosses in or sometimes they fall through, and you can score and assist. 

- CMs: for the two center midfielders, both on Stay Back While Attacking and Cover Center, nothing else on them. 

- CBs: Stay Back While Attacking, you've already got five bodies going into the box, we don't need to send anymore, these players will pull the strings from the center, so having a midfielder that is strong and can play center-back is important, but you don't touch the settings.

- GK: Comes for Crosses and Sweeper Keeper.
