1. Introduction to 4222 Tactics and Basic Settings
Introducing a new tactic because the movement of the existing 4222 CF version isn't what it used to be.
Set the defensive balance to 54 or 64.
For attack, use 66 for open passing to capitalize on counterattacks.
Utilize players in the box during set pieces, and the two strikers and wingers penetrate during counterattacks.
2. Player Roles and Usage
Set the two strikers to penetrate from deep and cover a wide area.
Set wingers to LAAM and RAM to maintain distance from the two strikers.
If the winger cuts inside, the full-back overlaps; if they go wide, the full-back supports behind the winger.
The aggressive penetration of the two strikers is important, and mind games are possible through QS passes (2-on-1 passes).
Recommend a combination of penetrating strikers; avoid target-man types as speed is key.
3. How to Utilize Long-Range Shots
After softening up the opponent's defensive line with the penetration of the two strikers, use the CDM for ZD or D shots.
Rather than forcing dribbles, pull back or use the two strikers as bait.
Secure long-range shooting opportunities by having the two strikers penetrate with QS or through balls.
4. How to Utilize Counterattacks
The 4222 formation is specialized for counterattacks due to the high positioning of the two strikers.
Utilize penetration request coaches and through ball coaches for the two strikers and wingers.
During a counterattack, if the player receiving the first pass possesses the ball, the wingers and two strikers start penetrating together, allowing for mind games with various passing options.
5. Recommended Training Coaches by Position
Two Strikers: Through ball is essential, recommend quick attack or creating calm goal chances.
Wingers: Through ball and quick attack are the same, recommend improving finesse shots and crosses.
CDM: Recommend offensive coaches (quick attack, long-range shots, finesse shot improvement).
Full-backs: Use through ball for overlaps when the winger is in the center; for offensive use, through ball and cross improvement; for defensive use, man-marking, left and right defense improvement.
Center Backs: Power header and tackle are essential, utilize regroup or stable build-up, etc.
Goalkeeper: Pro gamers sometimes remove finesse shot and long-range defense runs.
