Fluid Formation - does it work on 2021? Do you use it?

[NikoNikolson 2,832]

I remember back in 2016 when I used it last time, never since as it used to not really work back then, does it work nowadays and if you have it on how do you use it? I'd like to try fluid on 3-4-3, with the formation to become 5-2-3 on defense with widemen dropping to LB/RB from LMF/RMF. 

When in possession:

When out of possession: 

 

Any tips/tutorials @rambovanhardnut?

Wondering if most people here use it, saw some creative formations yesterday in the grudge matches

Never tried using it tbh

PES 2018 was the last time it worked for me.
Happy with my current formation and results though, so not changing anything 

Rocked with this:
  Out of possession    In possession

Needed to change my DMF to CB because he wouldn't track the striker as a DMF.
PES 2019 introduced the amazing new feature of having no midfield or people tracking attackers, so was forced to switch back to a flat 433, and I only won max 20% of my games that year and the next. Boy do I not miss 2019 and 2020 

In your case I think it would be best to just use the 5 atb one and be patient and pass it in the space for your LB/RB to come there.
Or use the 343 one and man mark the wingers if necessary?

I used to use it in previous versions but not any more. I think the advanced instructions are a bit more useful and fluid in game.  So in your formation @NikoNikolson I'd say it'd probably be more effective to set up with the 5-2-3 and just used the attacking fullbacks instruction.

Thanks for answers, i will give all these a try. And im glad u both saced me the headache of trialing fluid formation settings i have third idea which is maybe to do 3 4 3 but with wingback option which supposedly brings the  widemen to defence. Tried it but didnt work as well as expected so i will try your options next

im currently using a 4-4-3 without the ball and a 3-4-3 with it.

basically the 2 full backs turn into side mids and the DMF drops into CB 

i do this because if i dont the DMF is always the wrong f**king side of the opposing AMF.

Thanks rambini, i will look into this 443

I use it from time to time but i feel its slightly placebo 

Win 3 or 4 it's wonderful and im going to use it forever 

Lose 3 or and Konami are idiots putting a feature in that obviously doesn't work

[Tottiwhat! 1,104]

I’ve used it since the year it was introduced, have never looked back. But I’m proper s**t, so don’t listen to me 😂

I use fluid formation for every online match 2-3-5 (pep classic) with ball  ,4-5-1 without ball works well for my style of play. drawback using fluid formation  is stamina drain.
