Most of the clubs that you decide to choose in career mode or against your mates will be set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. This setup has become extremely popular in the modern game as it alloys you to fill your team with flamboyant attacking players accompanied by two deep lying anchormen. Don't be afraid to tweak this system or experiment with perhaps a 4-3-3, 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 as these different shape variations can bring out the best in certain players. If you're a seasoned FIFA gamer then you are likely to have your own system that works for you but you must be careful as the changes on FIFA 16 have meant your old tried and trusted shape may not be as effective as it was last year.
