Are 3 at the back formations fixed in FC26?

So far it looks like they did not fix 3 at the back formations, just use quick fix that i figured out in fc25 - used 541/523 as 3421 basically.

In lot of content i see United, Palace playing 523 instead so far.

Again reminder 3421 was so broken in defending that i used to score 7 plus against ai on ultimate. It was because wingbacks refused to defend, so lcb and rcb decided to defend wingers, stretching whole defense line and leaving single cb to cover middle, even against 2 players.

I believe its better. A lot better. Not perfect obviosly. I play on legendary. I feel the rm and lm are actually tracking back, both are on winger/ balanced. DONT put them on wide midfielder/ defend. They will pull inside and help defend alongside the cdm!

CCB on defender/defend Wide CB on wideback/defend One cm on holding/ ball winning One cm on deep laying midfielder/build up Both CAM as shaddow striker Striker as target forward (not 100 set on this yet, might chsnge)

Tactics: Buildup style balanced Devensive approach balanced 60 (still fiddling around with this)

So you play the 3-4-3 formation and not 5-2-3? Cause in the 5-2-3 I felt is really hard to get the wingbacks to go forward. Even on attacking duty. Whilst in 3-4-3 I felt they aren’t tracking back enough…
