The most important area to attack for this formation is the midfield. Outnumbering your opponent is FIFA 23 Coins essential. The L1/LB triggers force your midfielders forward . Using of one-two passing is crucial to ensure success in this particular formation.

Certain FIFA players are also fond of using the 4-3-3 system to surround the midfield while in the process of defending a lead. They choose to put their three midfielders close to the center of the field.

The key to 5-1-2-2 lies in the CDM. In previous editions of FIFA 5-1-2, different versions of 5-3-2/5-2-1-2/5-4-1 did not have an out-and-out CDM. A gap was created between midfielders and defensive line therefore led to these formations being more aggressive in outlook.

With FIFA 23, the CDM in the 5-1-2-2 alters the formation completely. It is a formation which lets your wingbacks attack and when they go forward, they can remain completely unmarked.

Not only do you have space on the flanks, it is possible to attack in an extremely narrow formation However, defensively, you're stable with a back line with five players, defensive CDM and two central midfielders as defensive back-up.

Dujan Kulusevski is the first Road To The Knockout SBC in FIFA 23. Yes, with an Architect this card could be long. Yes, Spurs can do well in the Champion's League. But, the card is pretty expensive - especially compared to the Sterling SBC which was released yesterday. It is compared below.

We are here to offer an impartial opinion - in our opinion, Kulusevski isn't worth the price. With the possibility of one or two, or maybe even three if Spurs go through with, upgrades the card, but it's not worth the sum of money. Let's see how this card compares to the Sterling Ones To Watch card from yesterday's live SBC.

But, it's not all negative. Kulusevski is a very balanced card that has good 80+ stats in pretty much every area it is important (including an impressive 87 long shots for those wing cut-in shots) and plenty of speed and agility. With the addition of upgrades as well as the Lengthy stat from Architect it's possible to have a bit of a monster of a player on your hands. It's all about whether you think it's worth around 200k early in the game.

Kulusevski's card as a base (it began with buy FUT 23 Coins our very first Premier League team), but it wasn't this SBC version. Yes, the card can be Lengthy which makes it more accessible over cards like these in the past. But, we've observed that speedy pace for wingers is still the best. Lengthy is better for fullbacks as well as wingbacks.
