DOMINATION 4213 TACTIC // MIDFIELD CONTROL // AlexionIQ Tactics

[@Botaniq_PL]

I tested it in rivals and fut champs qualifications and I must admit that this is by far the best tactic i played this fifa. At first it was not so good but the more I played and understood positions and roles the better it was to play. Sure I don't win everything and still against 5 in the back it almost impossible for me to win but the gameplay feels very intuitive for my gamestyle. I also use the presets for more offensive (when loosing) or defensive (when I want to finish off the game) and in both this tactics works really well. Thanks for it!

[@jamiesomers3564]

This guy needs a massive f***ing shoutout in my opinion, I’ve been using this since he dropped this video and it’s absolutely class - it’s catching on because I keep seeing 4213 videos on the feed - 10/10 my man

[@RTGenius2024]

The GOAT is at it again. Idk how he finds a bucket hat big enough to fit that football brain inside

[@AlexionIQ]

This has cracked me up 😂😂

[@rickynacharlo6393]

These tactics are absolutely brilliant the two deep lying playmakers are mint!

[@john2645]

Absolutely fantastic tactic… div 5 player never qualified for champs so far 😂😂.. only tried 3 times, switched to this tactic, walked through div 5 and got to div 4 and finally qualified for champs… 4-1 in qualifiers… Alexion is the GOAT

[@AlexionIQ]

Yes lad!!!!

[@xGibbo1]

Was waiting for a 4213, I've been using it myself - someone that still trys to play the beautiful game rather than full meta gimmicks

[@AlexionIQ]

This is the way on my channel

[@Bastroli29]

Hey man just wanted to let you know this tactic is beyond phenomenal for the first time since playing FC25 I can say that all 11 of my players are involved in the build up/defending it’s truly unbelievable please never stop making tactics! 😅

♥️♥️♥️

[@LEBOISO_2K]

Hey bro such a good formation, just gave it a try build up is insane.

[@torsteinjostedals3089]

This is great work. So well thought out, so well tested and researched. A True Delight for the community. Keep it up. FUT Doc

[@AlexionIQ]

Appreciate you, and all you do also ♥️

[@JaLoudda]

Great video and analysis, loved it bro, having those wingbacks give so many options and this is amazing with those deeplying playmakers positions, Ill give it a try.

[@AlexionIQ]

Thanks mate! Let me know how you get on!

[@jamiesomers3564]

I’ve got a pretty bog standard lique 1 team, just got into div 4. We have to die on our swords in some games but the way my rush ndombele never abandons my rush zaire emery in the middle of the park has me crying virtual tears - epic tactics

[@korzon3k]

lovely tactic thanks again Alex for another banger stuff

[@AlexionIQ]

♥️♥️♥️

[@Desora]

Awesome video. Been testing it in div 2. So far it works really well.

[@AlexionIQ]

Good to hear!

[@jonathoncheney]

I will give it a go tonight mate I will keep you posted on how I get on keep those great tactics coming and as always great presentation

[@AlexionIQ]

Thanks mate!

[@starboy.76]

Can't wait to try this out with my past and present Juve team

[@AlexionIQ]

Please come back and update how you got on!

[@starboy.76]

​@@AlexionIQUpdate: I had difficulties moving the ball forward at first but then tried to involve my wingbacks in the build up as you said and then started to dominate my opponents. It seems like many players don't know what to do when you overrun them with wingbacks, especially when you pull inside, playing quick 1-2 passes with your CAM, to confuse their midfield. The double pivot is crucial for allowing the wingbacks to go forward, they give me so much stability, it's crazy. I barely concede from counter attacks anymore (despite playing very high) and they always give me a pass option if I can't go forward for whatever reason. Things become tricky if I send one of them forward tho, because for whatever reason, the other CDM doesn't know what to do anymore. Yes they stay back like you show in the video but they don't really do anything to intercept any passes, they're kinda like frozen for me, as if they're having a malfunction or something. It seems like they’re only supposed to work “together” (if that makes sense). So I usually don't go forward with any of my CDM’s. Having the ST on Complete is a game changer too. They always move slightly to the sides and either take their opponent CB with them and create a huge hole in the middle for the CAM to run into, or they offer support when you control one of your wingers. It works perfectly, as intended. All in all I'm very happy with how it works for me. It took some time to get used to but once you understand how the double pivot works, it's so satisfying. You did an amazing job creating this tactic, respect. And thanks to 433iq for making this tactic easier to understand. Looking forward to trying out more tactics from you in the future! PS: Don't tell anyone but playing Pirlo in that double pivot is like cheating ;)

[@tru2blu34life]

goated tactics! been struggling to get out of div 3 but these got me straight into div 2 and still going strong! I recommend a good striker though im using POTM Thuram and Bonmati at CAM and they make all the difference

[@alexandererber87]

I get the idea and I liked the 4-3-3(2), but I’m struggling to make this work. There always is a massive gap between my CBs and my opponent counters with 3 against 2 lost CBs

[@emrekay507]

You never miss my guy I swear

[@AvitHDGamer]

Defo going to give this a go.

[@AlexionIQ]

It is the best one I've made so far.

[@samuelconway8961]

DPL? Definitely meant DLP haha! Looks interesting! Have you played about with d pad instructions this year, namely the get in the box instruction? Would be nice to see/hear it and how it works, thanks!

[@ahmadsulaiman8351]

Hi , can you explain to me why you choose advanced forward instead of poacher/target forward for your ST role?

[@AlexionIQ]

Advanced forward on complete moves the striker along the lines. The other roles don't.

[@LawlessRaafay]

I'll give this a go before champs. I hope we can also defend with this formation.

[@skay2654]

Any adjustments for old gen I can’t stand new gen

[@AlexionIQ]

I don't play or test on old gen. Sorry.

[@morpheus_313]

I play on old gen since a week since I was tired of the new gen version too 😂 and I use 4213. It's not really meta but I found some enjoyment. I have line hight on 57 (personal preference), if you like to trigger runs manually play balanced, if not counter. One full back I have on Falseback (Alaba), the other one on Wingback (Carvajal), both CBs on Defender, one CDM as Center Half (Parejo Obj is actually insane in this Role) one CDM holding roaming. Forwards are on the same instructions as in this video except my CAM is on shadow striker (Palmer). It's not perfect yet and I'm still trying different roles and I highly recommend having a back up formation in case you face a 5 back. I use 4231(2) with lm and rm as wingers and both fullbacks on balanced, 442 also works with the same instructions but it's very risky if you lose the ball in build up.

[@theneomadic]

Great video! Do you think having the CAM on shadow striker would be too much? Leaving a gap maybe ?

[@theneomadic]

A player example I sometimes have foden there or even in game put Griezmann in there

[@AlexionIQ]

I like the playmaker as that reliable central player

[@tru2blu34life]

would the 88 Traore be okay at ST on advanced forward? I’m really liking this formation and idk if I want to change it but also I want to use him as well

[@T900-j5z]

I was using this formation for a while but without the dm tactics so I'll give this a try

[@AlexionIQ]

Honestly the CDM roles are so good

[@T900-j5z]

@AlexionIQ can confirm makes a massive difference and formation works alot more smoothly 👍🏾

[@peterjfp]

got Dembele today and loving Foden's R1 controlled sprint, gonna try this tactic to fit both in the team. Would you play Dembele or Foden at CAM? both have inside forward++ at RW and Dembele has playmaker+ at CAM

[@AlexionIQ]

Both are good options. I'd probably say foden though

[@CalebAdams]

This is fire bro! Can't wait to try it out. What exactly do you prefer in the Playmaker role over the second striker one in that CAM position?

[@AlexionIQ]

Thanks mate. I like the consistent positioning. I like the link between CDM and the attacking 3. Good for sustained pressure.

[@joemiddleton7982]

Would a poacher ++ work instead of an advanced forward?

[@AlexionIQ]

Try it and see. We all play differently

[@pedrolopardo8344]

would this work on a 433(4)? need to fit valverde

[@AlexionIQ]

I tried with cm. But you can't have roaming, only defend on the dpl.

I'm in the elite division. This got me through division 1

[@tyronwoodleysmouthguard7114]

Does it matter if your midfielders are short? 1 cdm and my cam are below 5ft 9 and I have just one tall cdm who is 6 ft 2. They have the correct roles and everything,just won’t have that physicality.

[@AlexionIQ]

I have Mac Allister...it's all good.

Would this work with 4231 LM RM? I have no good lw but great lm and rm😊
