FIFA Mobile 18 formation that you choose for your team can really determine whether we will succeed or not to defeat the opponent, both in VSA mode or in Campaign mode.
The effective formation used for VSA, may not be suitable if used in Campaign mode, and vice versa.
In VSA Attack mode for example, a good formation is a formation where the first touch is slightly closer to the goal, so the chances to create goals will be faster and more.
While in Campaign mode, a good formation is an easy-to-use formation to counter-attack. Why? I will explain it later.
In this post, I will cover everything you need to know about formations on FIFA Mobile 18, from the complete list of formations, how to change formation, best formations for VSA Attack mode, best formations for Campaign mode and so on.

FIFA Mobile 18 S2 Most Used Formation
The most used formation in FIFA Mobile 18 is undoubtedly 343 Diamond (also known as 343D). This formation is very OP (overpowered) in VSA Attack.
This formation is also the most widely used from the start of the season as players from the last season (FIFA Mobile 17 Season 1) who can carry over to new seasons like Blue Star Hazard (LM) and Top Transfer Neymar (LW) can fit into the formation.
FIFA Mobile 18 Best Formation in VS Attack Mode
As I said before, a good formation in VSA Attack mode is a formation where the first touch is slightly closer to the goal, so the chances to create goals will be faster and more.
In this situation, once again 343D is the winner. Most of the time, the first possession in 343D is received by CAM. And you can exploit this by placing a CAM that has nice long shots.
Another good formation is 352. In this formation, ST, RM and LM most often get the first ball. If you have a good RM with great long shots (Gareth Bale LLR is one of the best in my opinion) then you will enjoy using this formation.
A little note, EA often tweaks formations regularly, so don’t always stick to my guide above. When there is a change in the formation that you usually play, do tests and search for information as much as you can in the forums or social media about changes that may be done by EA.
FIFA Mobile 18 Best Formation in Campaign Mode
In Campaign mode especially in England and Rest of World Campaign where our first position has conceded 0-2 or 0-3 goals, opponent always do possession in their own area to waste time and the ball is very difficult to take.
The solution is to let the opponent attack and ambush them in our defensive area, then do a counter attack tactics with pacey strikers or wingers.
That being said, the most appropriate formation for this tactic is 4222 or 352.
