The most frequently used formations and tips in FIFA 16


EA sports' FIFA 16 offers a wide array of football formations where players can choose from. Below are some of the most frequently used formations and tips on how to use them effectively:  

4-1-2-1-2

The WIDE or 4-1-2-1-2 formation requires a great defensive minded midfielder who can help four defenders guard the most skilled marksmen of the opposing team. It will also be helpful if your midfielders have great dribbling skills in order to create more opportunities for attacking. Your left and right midfielders (RM or LM) must also have good crossing abilities so they can assist attacking midfielders and strikers. These midfielders must also possess great speed at getting back on defense when the opposing team has possession. 

Option 5 false 9

The option 5 false 9 or 4-3-3- formation needs a great center forward or CF who has great dribbling skills. The CF must also (come to cheap fifa 16 coins ps4)possess the ability to score long goals (or to accurately score a goal from a distance). You may need to sacrifice great passing players for great scorers since this type of formation somehow focuses on finding scoring opportunities in situations where there isn’t much defensive pressure. 

4-3-1-2

The 4-3-1-2 is a slight modification of the WIDE or 4-1-2-1-2 formation. In this type of formation, the midfielder plays a little bit closer to the middle. Pro players who use this formation usually use central midfielders or CM (instead of RM or LM) who can be versatile and are great passers and dribblers (but not necessarily great scorers).

New features

Women's national football teams

Some female gamers are hyped about the release of FIFA 16 because of a new feature which somehow empowers women. Finally, women’s teams are playable in this game. 

Players will be able to choose from the 12 national teams of the recently concluded women’s world cup. However, women’s teams can only play each other (For example, you cannot select Real Madrid and U.S.A. women’s national soccer team at the same time). 

Career mode

EA sports has added some new features in FIFA 16 career mode. If you are an avid fan of the top tier football leagues in the world, you will know that major football clubs travel around the globe to train and improve (click www.mmorog.com)their game. 

This tradition of football clubs has been incorporated into the game. Hence, your team will be invited to play in different parts of the world (i.e. Latin America, Asia, Europe, and North America) before any official season starts. 

In this way, you will be able to experiment on different line-ups before the actual season starts (Your club will be invited to 3 out of 9 tournaments). These pre-season tourneys can also help you to work on your different offensive and defensive strategies. Moreover, the prize that you’ll win in this tournaments will be automatically transferred to your budget for the actual season. This is the perfect time to establish team chemistry before the official season starts.


However, EA sports said that some features, which are only available in Xbox One and PS4, are not available in PS3 and Xbox 360 because of console limitations. Hence, some game options available for PS4 may not be available for PS3.
