Mastering the best FIFA 21 formations is the most effective way to combat sweaty, pace-obsessed online play – and it's a big help in offline modes too, such as this year's revamped career mode. You won't encounter much 4-4-2 in FIFA 21 weekend league or Division Rivals, and below we explain why, with set-ups such as 3-5-2 and 4-1-4-1 proving more fashionable and effective. These are the seven best FIFA 21 formations.

3-5-2

With FIFA 22 less than a month away, card releases on FUT have reached massive ratings for the final run-in. Your eyes did not deceive you, Cristiano Ronaldo is there in CDM. We understand that to.

Screengrab via EA Sports FIFA FUT Web App. Just like the 5-2-1-2, the 3-5-2 became incredibly meta in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. It’s an excellent formation that offers everything, including a solid.

There are a few major changes to get a handle on with FIFA 21’s moment-to-moment gameplay. First, AI runs are more intelligent – making a two-striker system almost imperative this year. That, along with Creative Runs, allows you to stretch a defence more than ever before. On top of that, wing play is back in a big way, particularly given how goal-friendly target men appear to be this year.

That’s what makes 3-5-2 such an easy recommendation. You may caught short at the back at times, but the team’s overwhelming counter attack potential and, importantly, solid base in the middle means you’re both going to be a real threat from crosses. In your own third, you should also be able to deal with any balls whipped into the mixer thanks to having a spare centre back free.

3-4-2-1

Not one for the faint-hearted, 3-4-2-1 is a formation that may end up being the Marmite of FIFA 21’s tactical options, though it can pay dividends with a few tactical tweaks.

Having the Defensive Style set to ‘Drop Back’ with depth dialled back to two or three notches should be enough to frustrate the opposition. Pair that with a Fast Build Up under Offensive Style and you should have all the makings of a lightning-quick attack. However, ensure both of your wide midfielders have ‘Come Back On Defence’ enabled under Instructions, plus ‘Stay Wide’ for Chance Creation. That allows them to effectively operate as wing backs should the going get tough.

4-1-4-1

4-1-4-1 in past years was far too defensive, rigid, and uninspiring. With FIFA 21’s new Creative Runs and all-round better movement and physicality in the final third, it becomes essentially a blank canvas on which to project your ideal team.

By fiddling around with the more detailed player instructions in the tactical set-up menus, you’re able to change things up on the fly – having more than one 4-1-4-1 ready for use under Game Plans would also be a good idea.

Want to play more defensive? Have the midfield three stay put. Need a goal? Opt to go a little more asymmetrical with one winger given the ability to free roam and both central midfielders license to go forward. One of your midfielders having the ‘Drop Between Defenders’ instruction enabled also lets them work as a false-9 of sorts, dragging defenders all over the place.

4-1-2-1-2 (wide)

Best Kits In Fifa 21

Again, wide play is imperative to success this year and no formation does that better than the wide variant of the 4-1-2-1-2.

While you should be wary that you’re very much susceptible to the counter attack, the strengths of this system far outweigh the positives. Better still, you rarely have to tweak and tinker with the squad instructions to get the most out of it – it’s pretty much good to go out of the box.

However, if you are struggling with this formation it might be worth having a ready-made replacement for both wingers. If your starters have high attacking work-rates then their stamina will be sapped in no time.

4-2-2-2

The most balanced and, for my money, the best formation in FIFA 21. That’s mostly due to the flexibility of the front four and the solid base in midfield that automatically sits deeper – a benefit when some of the AI can get a little sprint-heavy with their forward runs no matter their position.

If you need added width, make sure the two CAMs have ‘Free Roam’ set under player instructions and their respective full backs set to Join The Attack through Attacking Runs, with Run Type on ‘Overlap.’ That should mean your CAMs have at least three passing lanes open at all times – one on the flank, one to the striker, and one back to the defensive midfield.

4-2-3-1 [2]

Narrow formations are not in vogue if the first tentative sessions of FIFA 21 are anything to go by. The midfield becomes too crowded and you can easily be nullified by any team opting to drop off and play a negative formation.

The wider 4-2-3-1 allows you to bypass that. Suddenly, the channels become more open and that tends to stretch the play.

While this is another formation that can be find without too much flicking through tactical menus, letting one defensive midfielder get forward under the Attacking Support menu turns your formation into a more unorthodox 4-1-2-2-1, something that should see space open up – a tactic that works well particularly late into games as energy levels are sapped and players can’t rush back to defend the overload.

5-2-1-2

FIFA has always had an odd relationship with ‘three at the back formations’ with five-man defence formations typically reflecting its real-world counterpart far better than the traditional three-man defence systems. 5-2-1-2 is the best all-round option in that regard, offering plenty of width (a must this year) and several attacking options.

The formation’s success is almost entirely dependent on how you set up the wing-backs, however. Tie them to Overlap on Run Types and to Join The Attack on Attacking Runs. Keep the overall team system to Balanced while dialling up the width to around seven or eight notches to get the most out of one of the best FIFA 21 formations.

FIFA 21 kits aren't just about looking good as you rack up the wins in Squad Battles, Division Rivals and the weekend league. They can also be a strong money-spinner in FIFA 21, bringing in coins when you unearth a hard-to-find or popular strip in a pack. Below we take a look at 11 of the sharpest combos in this year's game, mixing in a selection of cards that attract big coin on the transfer market. All prices are correct on PS4 as of Friday 18 December. Welcome to your FIFA 21 kits guide.

FC Bayern (away)

League: Bundesliga (GER 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 350 coins

It’s a two-tone grey look on the road this season for the Champions League winners, in which Robert Lewandowski is likely to hammer at least two dozen away goals. The badge, logo and sponsor are all in crisp orange-red, to offset the basic-yet-elegant base colour. Sehr, sehr gut.

Borussia Dortmund (home)

League: Bundesliga (GER 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 1,500 coins

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very… sorry Freddie, this one isn’t frightening at all, but it is a bit of a scorcher. Bayern’s big rivals break with their traditional, simple yellow-and-black combo for something significantly noisier, and in doing so replace long-standing sponsor Evonik with a new logo: German internet provider 1&1.

Barcelona (away)

League: La Liga (SPA 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 1,600 coins

Barca in black and gold? We’re into wolf-whistling territory here. The kit is high concept: it’s represented by the slogan “The colours are within”, with the legendary Spanish club stating that “Barca fans’ heart are Blaugrana, no matter what is on the outside”. It’s only the third time in Barca’s history that they’ve had a predominantly black kit, along with 2011-12 and 2013-14.

Inter Milan (home)

League: Serie A (ITA 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 1,300 coins

You really really really wanna zig-a-zig ah? Then Inter’s startling yet somehow sexy new look is the FIFA 21 kit for you. Like Dortmund it’s a colossal break from the norm in a bonkers year, with the Milan side’s traditional blue-and-black stripes swapped for a design inspired by Il Biscione - the city’s traditional symbol of an azure serpent.

Benevento (away)

League: Serie A (ITA 1)

Card type: Silver rare

Cost: 4,400 coins

Continuing the Italian theme, both Benevento kits are worth nabbing – either to wear in game, or as an investment. Along with Crotone, they’re one of two Serie A sides whose kits are silver rather than gold, meaning they’ll be hard to find all year. But while Crotone’s kits are fakies, Benevento’s are real, making them even more highly sought after.

Bielefeld (third)

League: Bundesliga (GER 1)

Card type: Silver rare

Cost: 1,200 coins

Another strip that’s both easy on the eye and beneficial to your long-term FIFA 21 coins bank balance. Just one Bundesliga side in FIFA 21 sports silver-carded kits: you’ve guessed it, it’s Bielefeld. If you see one of these on the market for under 1,000 coins, snap it up and immediately re-list with a 25% mark-up.

Southampton (home)

League: Premier League (ENG 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 200 coins

Breaking a tradition has been a theme here, and it’s especially welcome in the often risk-free Premier League. In fact, Saints have done something more complex than that: they’ve done away with more recent traditions (red-and-white stripes) to reinstall a much older one, with this sash stunner a throwback to their first ever kit, from 1885. It’s also one of the few on this list that you can nab at discard price.

New Zealand (home)

League: Men’s National (INT)

Card type: Silver rare

Cost: 4,500 coins

It’s all white on the night for the All Blacks. NZ’s home strip is up there with Nike’s best: beautifully simple, classy, and – as it’s an international kit – sponsor free. It’s another that’s a formidable investment. Both New Zealand strips went for close to the maximum of 5,000 coins throughout FIFA 20’s lifespan, and that precedent is repeated this year.

Al Ain FC (home)

League: United Emirates League (UAE 1)

Card type: Silver rare

Best Fifa 21 Jerseys

Cost: 2,200 coins

Best

More supremely clean Nike excellence here, though this time with a subtle yet elegant splash of purple. Al Ain FC are the only UAE club in FIFA 21 and as I write this there are only three cards representing this kit on the entire transfer market, so snap it up quick if you want to sport it in-game. The club’s all-purple away number is a real looker, too.

Angers SCO (home)

League: Ligue 1 Uber Eats (FRA 1)

Card type: Gold common

Cost: 200 coins

Italy’s most successful club may not be in FIFA 21 – for an explanation of why, check out our FIFA 21 Juventus guide – but Angers’ home colours are a strong replacement if you’re looking to build a squad of past and present Juve greats in Ultimate Team. It’s even made by Kappa, who manufactured a stack of classic Juventus strips in the eighties and nineties.

Chelsea (third)

League: Premier League (ENG 1)

Card type: Gold rare

Cost: 1,100 coins

Best Kits In Fifa 21 Ultimate Team Squad Builder

What’s this? Chelsea turning themselves into a hybrid of Barca, Crystal Palace and Inverness Caledonian Thistle? Well… yes. Frank Lampard’s boys wearing red and blue shouldn’t work on paper but it just does, throwing back to a classic Nike trainer from the 1990s. As our FIFA 21 Icons guide will tell you, retro always works well in EA’s footy series.
