The primary element of 5-1-2-2 lies in the CDM. In the previous editions of 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 created these formations as more offensive in FUT 23 Coins their outlook.
In FIFA 23 The CDM in the 5-1-2-2 change this setup completely. This is a configuration that allows your wing-backs to attack. When they move forward, they remain in a relatively safe position.
It's not just about having an extra width on the flanks, it is possible to attack with the narrowest of systems and yet be defensively steady with a backline of five, a stabilizing CDM and two midfielders providing defensive support.
Dujan Kulusevski, the first Road To The Knockout SBC in FIFA 23. Yes, with an Architect the card could be long. Yes, Spurs might do decently in the Champion's League. But, the card is pretty expensive , especially in comparison to the Sterling SBC that went live yesterday. It is compared below.
We're here to give an impartial opinion - in our opinion, Kulusevski's is absolutely not worthy of this amount of money. Even with the potential of one or two, or maybe even three if Spurs take it to the next level upgrade, this card is still not worth this sort of cash. Let's see how this card compares to Sterling's 1s To Watch card from yesterday's live SBC.
However, there's nothing negative. Kulusevski is a well-rounded player, with impressive 80+ stats almost every field that matters (including a hefty 87 long shots for those wing cut-in shots), and plenty of passing and physical. With upgrades, and the complete Length stat from Architect the player will be an impressive amount of a player on your hands. It's a matter of whether it's worth nearly 200k this early in the game.
We've had Kulusevski's basic card (it began with our first Premier League team), but not the SBC version. Yes, this card can be Lengthy which makes it more useful over cards like these in the past. Yet, we've seen that speedy pace for wingers is still more useful. Longer is more suitable for fullbacks as well as wingbacks.
Thankfully, the number 9 position is fairly straightforward with Vlahovi? being the most obvious candidate. It's the same with Di Maria is the best right-winger in the club, but it gets more complicated when you look at the opposite flank. While Kosti? is rated a little higher, it would be wise not to buy FUT 23 Coins left side of the midfield three alongside Paul Pogba and just ahead of Locatelli.
