87% Win Rate | Broken 5-4-1 Counter Attacking FM22 TACTIC

Welcome to another tactic from myself, today I bring you my favourite 5 at the back tactic I have used so far in FM22. I feel this formation is very good at the back but also packs a punch going forward and can really damage teams.

I liked the idea of conceding as few goals as possible, but also being able to go out there and score too. And this formation does that.

This was tested across 2 saves, and we where dominant in both tested. The teams we used where PSV and Liverpool.

With this formation you will not be playing tiki taka elegant football, it is all about being defensive with a touch of pressing in there too to win the ball back and hit on the counter attack.

I will include screenshots of the league tables below, and talk briefly about each save. But for a more detailed insight please have a look into my YouTube video that will be at the bottom of this post.

Test 1- PSV

As you can see by the results it was a very dominant season we had here, not only winning the league title but also winning the TOTO KNVB Beker, The Cruyff shield and also the Europa league.



Test 2- Liverpool

In the Liverpool save we managed to win the premier league title as well as the Champions League and the Caraboa Cup. A fantastic season that is for certain!





Here's a screenshot of the tactics, but for a more in depth breakdown please head over to the video below.

In this video I break down the tactic and also mention a couple of things that can be tweaked in game in various scenarios.
