Best FIFA 23 5122 Custom Tactics - Best Tactics for 5122 Formation in Ultimate Team
FIFA 23 5122 formation is overpowered, you can make the tactics based on the play style and formation feature. Below are the FIFA 23 5122 tactics customized by Jamboo. Starting off from the defensive style, you can go Press After Possession Loss, this is extremely overpowered, especially in a five-back formation like this one. Even if your opponent is really good at keeping the ball and plays his way out, you are still going to have enough players back that you are not getting caught out. For the width, go with 70, you’ll have the back five spread out, it works really well, and for depth, 50 is ideal in terms of the way this formation works. It is not all about it being really good defensively, you are going to be using your wing backs.
Moving on to offense, Balanced on Build Up Play and Direct Passing on Chance Creation. It pushes your opponent's back line all the way back into their box, making it basically a lot easier for you to get opportunities in and around your opponent's area. 70 on the width, it is not too wide and not too narrow. Wing backs are the key for the 5122 formation, if they are tucked in too far, you are going to struggle to attack. Then putting 7 players in the box is really good because your center midfielders are going to get involved, you've got the two strikers, wing backs, and center mids, it's going to cause an overload where basically you've got so many options going forward that your opponent just can't physically mark them all and that is one of the things that makes this formation so key. Finally, three on both corners and free kicks, these two do not that matter.

Best FIFA 23 5122 Player Instructions
Then looking at the player instructions for the 5122 formation in FIFA 23.
- Strikers: Get in behind and stay forward.
- Center mids: Default.
- CDM: Stay back while attacking, cover center, and cut passing lanes. What you are going to find with that is he just sits in front of the defense, not allowing your opponent to play any simple passes around the edge of your area, he basically acts as another defender, and when you've already got a back five is going to be extremely hard to break down
- WB: Join the attack and overlap are important, which is going to create the overload in the attack that's going to make it so hard for your opponent to stop you. If your opponent's winger is in a good position, your wingback is going to step up and get tight to him, basically meaning that they've not just got an easy pass. This is probably the most important instruction whilst using this setup.
