Forwards get in behind.
Center cm stay back cover center
Outside cm cover wing balanced
Everything else balanced but if opponents stay back countering then fullbacks are on stay back .
Balanced seems to be best so far

I know this is slightly controversial but I have each cm as cover centre; most average players try and go through the middle either from defence or from the wings so by stacking the centre you give the opposition next to no time on the ball to think where to pass = more interceptions and higher possession
I only change this IG if the player is a crosser and uses a formation that is solely wing play

What are your sliders in CT or you play everything on Balanced?
I must be playing the wrong game. 7 matches. 6 this formation. It’s not even like people can say I have been using it for years. I don’t think I played against it once last season.
Im using it for the first time really. BUT I didnt realise it was Meta. I do have fullbacks joining the attack, and L/R F on False 9 - so probably how most are using it.

More narrow on defence (40 odd) same as the depth. Pressure on heavy touch.
Attack though 65 width to try and open up the defence to create those pockets to run through.
Have came up against this formation A LOT, I'm guessing a YouTuber has put a video out with the blueprint for this formation hence its popularity.
Personally I've never liked it so dont use it but it can be a pain to play against. I find the people who use this formation usually have the same players too.
I have played this formation for years now. I have always stuck with
Defence - balance
Width 40 and depth - around 55
Build up play balanced
Chance creation direct passing.
My front 3 all stay forward get in behind with my ST as stay central
LCM and RCM all the same except cover centre with my middle CM as stay back while attacking and cover centre
Full backs stay back while attacking
Rated E For Everyone.
