Some FIFA 23 Coins players are also fond of using the 4-3-3 system to surround the midfield when they are in the process of defending a lead. They choose to position their three players with their backs to the centre.

The most important thing to note about 5-1-2-2 is the CDM. In previous editions FIFA, variations of the 5-3-2/5-2-5-1-2/5-4-1 didn't have an out-and out CDM. It was the gap between the midfield line and defensive line thus made these formations more attacking in nature.

In FIFA 23, the CDM within the 5-1-2-2 change the entire setup. It's a setup that lets your wingbacks attack, and when they do so, they can move forward, they're relatively unmarked.

You have space on the flanks, you can attack in the narrowest of systems and yet be defensively solid with a back line of five, a keeping CDM and two midfielders in the centre that provide support to the defense.

Dujan Kulusevski was the very first Road To The Knockout SBC in FIFA 23. Yes, with an Architect the card could be long. Indeed, Spurs can do well in the Champion's League. But, the card is pretty expensive , particularly when compared with the Sterling SBC that was launched yesterday. The two cards are compared below.

We're here to provide unbiased advice. In our view, Kulusevski is not worth the price. Even with the possibility of the possibility of one or two or even three if Spurs go through with upgrading, this card is still not worth the cash. Let's examine this card against Sterling's one To Watch card from yesterday's live SBC.

But, it's not all negative. Kulusevski is a solid player that has good 80+ stats in pretty much every area it matters (including the impressive 87 long shots in those cut-in shots) as well as plenty of physicality and passing. With upgrades, and the full Lengthy stat from Architect and Architect, you'll have some of the most powerful of a player in your hands. It's up to you whether it's worth around 200k early on.

We've used Kulusevski's base card (it was introduced by our first Premier League team), but not the SBC version. It's true that the card can be long, making it much more usable as FUT 23 Coins buy opposed to cards similar to this in the past. We've also found that wingers who have bursty speeds is still more useful. The longer length is ideal for fullbacks as well as wingbacks.
