FIFA 23 Best Formation and Tactics - FIFA 23 442 Custom Tactics  

Firstly, below is the custom tactics of the FIFA 23 442 formation by NealGuides, check out the recommended options. 

Defence

- Defensive Style: Press After Possession Loss. Now you can have five subs, you could effectively sub off your entire attack and still carry on using this formation.

- Width: 60. For the width, similar to last year, you do not want to get anything extravagant, put it at 60. 

- Depth: 70. We're going to win the ball back high up the pitch as possible.

Offence

- Build Up Play: Long Ball. Go with Long Ball, the team will make runs for long balls into space behind the opposing back line, or up to a target man. 

- Chance Creation: Balanced. This is the most important thing, leave it balanced. Now you can double tap the R1 button and you can ask for two players to come towards you and provide support. Balance is an amalgamation of possession, forward runs, and direct passing.

- Width: 40. You can always make a team wider with hug the sidelines, but you can't make them narrower inside the game. 

- Players in Box: 7. The one that matters was last year, there's a kind of a defensive mechanical partial team press, hold up the R1 or RB two times and you can activate partial team press, now that is fixing, the benefit of this is you can ask someone to come inside the box last minute and you can do L2 crosses as well, which is very effective.

- Corners: 1.

- Free Kicks: 1. 

FIFA 23 Best Formation and Tactics - FIFA 23 442 Player Instructions 

- Left and right striker: stay central, get in behind and come back on defence, you can leave one of them on balance. For the two strikers, you can use players that are quick, you need someone that's smooth, leave them on balance, that way you can ask them to come forward with the ball and you can basically pass the ball to the full-backs and dribble around.

- Left and right midfielder: both on come back on defence, get into the box for cross, that way they come forward for the crosses and we have them on get in behind. You need fast players at the LM and RM positions. 

- Center midfielder: keep the right CDM stay back, stay on edge of box for cross, and cover center, in FIFA 23 what's very important is defensive awareness. For the other player we have balanced, cover center, get into the box for cross, and cover center. It's completely up to you, it just depends on how you kind of cut in. For the CDM just go with someone like Zakaria.

- Right back: stay back while attacking, conservative interceptions, and overlap. You should always be prioritizing pace for the left back and right back because that is the most important thing when you are defending.

- Center backs: you can go with someone like Ibañez and Bremer, or go with players with 80 pace because you're playing on high depth.
