Wing-Taka 433 by Jethers
This 433 tactic by Jethers is another one of the best 433 tactics available for FM22. This tactic was developed over five seasons with Barcelona, and it's influenced by well-known tactic creators such as Knap, RDF Tactics, and a few others. The ideology behind this tactic is: solid at the back, solid in possession, and solid in attack. Guess what? It achieves all three goals.
Wing-taka 433 focuses on building out from the back, and that's demonstrated by applying the defensive mentality to the goalkeeper, and two ball-playing defenders. which opens some attacking options for the two supporting full backs. The midfielder has a defensive deep lying playmaker, someone you'll really look towards as an avenue for creativity, and two central midfielders who look to burst forward at every opportunity. On the wings you've got a couple of traditional, direct wingers who will be looking to supply the two attacking central midfielders, so look for pace, accelation, decision making and crossing as primary attributes. Up top you've got a good old Advanced Forward, someone who will look to stretch the play both horizontally, and vertically.
This incredible 433 tactic by Jethers is designed to unlock a lot of doors with high intensity counter pressing, and a focus on moving the ball fast and low, you'll be a nightmare for any opposition.
As predicted previously, this tactic creates a bunch of opportunities for your central midfielders, and you can see that with Pogba's return of 19 goals, Bruno Fernandes with 7 goals, and Donny van de Beek with 11 goals. It also looks like the wingers average an assist every 2.8 games, but appear to chip in with a decent amount of goals themselves. The focal point of your attack though is definitely the advanced striker, and as you can see here, Cristiano Ronaldo, at 36 years of age, has scored a respectable 33 goals.
