Football formations is a tactic to play football, determines how many players play on defense, the midfield, and the frontline. Different formations can be used depending on whether a team wishes to play more attacking or defensive football. There are some common formations such as 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 4-3-3 and so on. Today we are going to introduce the most common one 4-2-3-1 in FIFA 16, and we will analyze the issue of match lineup. Players know that this formation is one of the most popular formations, it is very common in various World Series, played with four defenders (two fullbacks, two center-backs), three central midfielders, two attacking midfielders, and one striker. So our simple analysis to help players to understand the advantages of this lineup, and how to match the players in the formation.

As another major formation, 4-2-3-1 also takes a place because One particularly effective use of it was Liverpool F.C and notable example at club level is Bayern Munich under Jupp Heynckes. Different with the same single [center] 4-3-2-1, 4-2-3-1 formation generally requires a high work rate center is good at grasping the opportunity in front(the Robert Lewandowski in Dortmund, Germany Miroslav Klose). Defense in the 4-3-2-1 is except that the defense on the flanks is left solely to the fullbacks. However, in this formation the most important core is two back, Dortmund's Nuri Sahin Ilkay and Gundogan was undoubtedly the best choice of double center back. But with the decline in the state of Sahin this season, and Gundogan recovered from injuries, as well as the giants in Bundesliga grabbed Dortmund's backs, making their performance is not good in half of the season.

4-2-3-1 can be a perfect adaptation to Dortmund's special offensive counterattack, and pass control tactics recently in Germany. But its shortcomings are obvious: Once the double waists circumference are robbed or forward runs not positive, will be well as the Dortmund in half of the season get a painful lesson.

As to whether or not recommended you to try this formation, unless you have a midfielder who has Khedira's run, Klose's long-range, Lahm's defensive, Schweinsteiger's overall view, Khedira's long pass and Alabama's speed and break, or otherwise not easily try to be good. Of course, in FIFA16 the midfielder who is likely to play defensive midfielder is Alabama and Lahm, 16, have no idea the two players will create what kind of impact in FIFA 16.

While it seems defensive to the eye, it is quite a flexible formation, as both the wide players and the full-backs join the attack. In defense, this formation is similar to either the 4–5–1 or 4–4–1–1. It is used to maintain possession of the ball and stopping opponent attacks by controlling the midfield area of the field. The lone striker may be very tall and strong to hold the ball up as his midfielders and full-backs join him in attack. The striker could also be very fast. "
