I find the best formation to play with is 4-3-3. It gives you a lot of attacking options. Three strikers do create a lot of problems for the opponent's defense. Even the midfielders aid a lot while attacking. You can choose your striker either to shoot by himself or pass it on to other unmarked striker or mid fielder whichever is available. Choosing custom styles wisely helps a lot while attacking. While attacking you can set your custom styles to wing play along with 3rd man release.
Wing Play - With it your strikers(LS and RS) sprints down the wing creating a lot of open space for them to pass. you just need to send them a long through ball and if once they beat the defenders your on to a great chance. Its a very effective tactic.
But what has to be kept in mind is that you should be equally good in defense while playing such an attacking formation. If not than you must think twice before using this formation because it leaves your defense open up for your opponent to charge down their attackers and attack often. What you can do is choose your center midfielder as CDM( Center Defensive Midfielder) who can aid your defense while fast counter attack of your opponent.
Some of the teams have their default formation as 4-3-3 including AC Milan, Man City, Brazil, Barcelona and I must tell you these teams are real good while attacking. Teams which can be made equally good in attack with this formation includes Juventus, Chelsea, France and Inter Milan.
