Best formation in squad battles?

As per title, does anyone feel there are certain formations which work better against teams in WC/Legendary/Ultimate in squad battles? I am currently using 433(3) as its good for possession play which you need against the AI and its solid against their random quick passes but I sometimes find it difficult to break them down when the gameplay becomes slow and sluggish.
I know it matters on your playing style and the opponent's formation etc but im just trying to see if there is a general trend.
I have gone to 3ATB in some games and that seems to help me out a bit but I have to make sure its not a good attacking team and I have wing backs at CB to deal with the pace.

If top100 its probably the best to go with something attacking. If elite then just go with the basics
I'm sitting on Elite1 but I want to push for top 100 if I can get all my games in. Right now im keen on improving my game to make sure I don't get those odd losses anymore. My downfall this week was a couple of games failure to break them down led me to being countered. I can beat legendary by 3-5 goals most of the time but im getting a lot of scrapes a few slip through as losses too. Ended on 85k points this week but I stopped playing as it was too far off. All my games are on legendary at the moment....I play featured in world class as the points don't mean much and if I have nothing to play for, I play on ultimate, only won once, lost 4-5 times due to their extraterrestial powers lol
I play in 352 and It's very good. It's rare that I lose a game in Legendary.
This seems to give me the spacing I need to just keeping finding the open man and working the ball up the field and occasionally the runs from the LM/RM spots are great from the outside. Played the Featured Matchup on professional this week and Perisic balled out with four goals from LM somehow.
I just think attacking completely up the middle won't work as well as having the outside options - they also help pinch the outside with your LB/RB on D.
My weeks already screwed thanks to one of thise mysterious discons in very first match when up 5-0
Everything else, just be like everyone else and use a narrow formation
yeah im exactly the same. I have switched to 352 a few times midgame when I am struggling to break them down or if im behind and it almost always results in me making a breakthrough. How have you set up your defence? Do you have pacey CB and do you do any CT with your CMs/CDMs?

Biabiany is awesome.
wow thanks! I will try it out. I have untradeable Mertens so might use him up front.
I’ve since switched to the 4411, & although I’m dominating online with it considerably moreso than the 4312, I’m struggling to get high scoring games in SB’s. Still win all my SB games, granted, but I’m averaging half of the shots I used to per game. Finding it way harder to break down the AI bus, & get clear shots off.
For reference, always on legendary, & average 2500 points at least every match. Usually lose 1 game at best each week & play until I secure Elite 2.
3 attackers + 2 wingers + 1 of the CDMs instructed to get forward = goals goals goals.
AI's wingplay is super predictable so you don't have to be too concerned about your lack of fullbacks. Just put the slowest CB in the middle and quicker ones on the sides.
@IamFrench What does your full team look like man? Do you think an expensive team matters for Squad Battles on Legendary?
I ended up playing less and now barely play a game after the updates ruined the gameplay. Once they changed the passing it became too frustrating because of the delay too yet the AI isn't affected and has the extra superpowers.
352 was working well for me though. I think I only managed to give it a go properly just the once with 352 and I ended up missing out on top100 by a little midway so I backed off. the other times I didn't get to play all my games.
Sorry, I stopped playing this game...
Like in football certain formations work better against others, ad recommend trying different formations and taking note which worked best for u then check b4 u play that team and know which 1 was effective for you, more fun playing with different styles
Did this get you into top 100??
I didn't get to play much after this. I had one good shot where I was around 300 points off but then missed a game so left it there. Recently, I've stopped playing especially since the patches.
