Why Is the 41212 (2) Effective in FC 24?
The 41212 (2) formation effectively exploits teams that are very wide in FC 24 due to the central nature of the attackers in this setup.
With the two STs and the CAM being down the middle, they are often near each other, making for easy tiki-taka football or back-and-forth passes.
The two CMs are also close to the center, providing yet another option for a pass. Additionally, even if a team attacks down your wings, you should be defensively solid in that area as long as your fullbacks are quick.
