Alright, guys, let’s talk about Roma in FIFA 23. I’ve been messing around with them for a while now, and I wanted to share my experience, from start to finish.
Getting Started: The Initial Look
First thing I did was check out their default formation and squad. You know, get a feel for the team. I noticed they were playing a 3-4-2-1, which, honestly, I wasn’t super thrilled about at first. I usually prefer a four-at-the-back kind of setup.

Tinkering with Tactics
So, I jumped into the tactics screen. This is where the magic happens, right? I started by switching the formation. I experimented with a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1, trying to get a more solid defensive base. I played a few games, trying to get comfortable, getting beat up, getting frustrated. Then, tried 4-4-2, Classic!
- Defense:I set the defensive style to “Press After Possession Loss.” I wanted that aggressive recovery of the ball.
- Width and Depth:Messing, keep them balanced. Not too narrow, not too wide.
- Offense: “Fast Build Up” was my go-to. Get the ball forward quickly.
Player Instructions The Key!
Next, I went into player instructions. This is super important, people! Don’t skip this part.
- Strikers: I told them to “Stay Central” and “Get In Behind.” I need those runs!
- Wingers:“Come Back on Defence”,Help Strikers!
- Midfielders: One set to “Stay Back While Attacking” (your anchor), the other to “Get Forward” (your box-to-box guy).
- Full-backs:I kept them on “Balanced Attack” initially, just to see how they performed.
Playing Some Games More Frustration!
I played a bunch of games in Career Mode. It was a rollercoaster, let me tell you! Some games, everything clicked. Beautiful passing, goals galore. Other games, I felt like I was playing with my feet tied together. Defense was all, players running all around!
Fine-Tuning Further Tweaks
Back to the tactics board! I realized I needed to adjust a few things based on my gameplay experience.
- Full-backs: I changed their instructions to “Join the Attack” after I felt comfortable with the midfield’s defensive capabilities.
- Defensive Width: I narrowed it slightly to deal with those through balls down the middle.
The Result (Finally!)
After all that tweaking, playing, and tweaking some more, I finally found a setup that worked for me. It wasn’t perfect, and I’m sure I’ll keep adjusting it, but I started winning more consistently. I felt like I had more control over the game. It’s all about finding what clicks with your playstyle, you know?
So, that’s my Roma journey in FIFA 23 so far. It’s been a process, but a fun one. Keep experimenting, guys, and you’ll find your perfect setup too!
