The 532 is a formation commonly associated with Antonio Conte and, to a lesser extent, Thomas Tuchel. The 532 may look like a defensive formation on paper, though the two wing-backs can be instructed to essentially play FC 24 Coins as wingers, who will stretch the opposition and open gaps for the strikers and any midfielders bursting forwards. The formation is also solid defensively when managed well, with the 3 central midfielders ideally stopping the opposition from getting any sort of control or foothold on the game, while the 5 defenders provide plenty of cover at the back.

The 433 shape has become one of the most popular formations in the world. The formation had a sharp increase in popularity in the mid-2000s when Jose Mourinho won his first Premier League with Chelsea, and it hasn't looked back since. While Jose Mourinho's mid-2000s playstyle was predominantly defensive-minded, the 433 has been tweaked and altered over the years to the point where it is now seen as an offensive shape.

The 433 (2) is a great shape in FC 24 as, like in real life, it offers great central stability with the defensive midfielder and two central midfielders while also providing plenty of threat and defensive support on the wings with the wingers and full-backs that can create overloads in wide areas. The formation is also very flexible. For example, Pep Guardiola often uses a 433 with inverted fullbacks who push into the midfield allowing him to use the CMs as number 10s; while most other managers prefer to have their fullbacks overlapping and the central midfielders to maintain a tight unit in attack and defense.

With the popularity of the 433 system, it should come as no surprise that multiple variations of the formation have sprung up over the years. The 433 (5) is most notably used by Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side, who uses Roberto Firmino as a false nine to create an overload in central midfield and provide space for the two inside forwards. The shape is very similar to the 442 diamond, which uses a CAM and two strikers who often split out wide. Implementing a false nine into the team may not seem like a quintessential FIFA 24 Coins for sale move, but FC 24 's improved gameplay balance has made it a more viable option, and it can catch plenty of online opponents off guard.
