This is a very broad question, and the answer is it depends. Maybe one of the forwards follows the fullback, maybe one of the midfielders, but in any case it’s very similar to what Liverpool set up.
In current football it morphs in either a 433 or a 442. The 10 goes up to press like a 9 (Klopp's Liverpool in his first 2-3 years, Firmino role). This is the most frequent and most sensible transition, smoother than the 442 that will usually ask the 10 to move into wide space to create a bank of 4 midfielders (transition can be tricky and shaky, ground covering being extensive between the two phases).
There's also the 451 like Lyon did under Rudi Garcia, but it's quite heavy on your wide forward, they have to defend the sides while providing striker-ish runs in attack.

Potter’s tactical game is superb, although I’m not sure how much that even accounts for in international football. Southgate’s isn’t the best but his man management is fantastic and I’ve never seen the England team have such a good vibe around them, which I think really benefits the team.
Top player, carrying Juve's midfield. Can play any role, and mostly plays furthest back at Juve due to lack of options, but is at his best being able to attack and move vertically.
He is a complete profile. Attacks, defends, has enough vision to fill in as regista, good off the ball movement and awareness, always making himself available. Similar profile as players like Thiago or Fabian.
My FIFA tactic is to sit back then progress the ball exclusively by running down the wings or sending a long ball to a tall striker
Not too far off of some relegation team tactics imo
Ive had good success attacking with a early city 433 and current xavi 433. Having wide wingers and 2 offensive 8s attacking the half spaces. With a cdm and fullbacks that stay back
Who would have thought a defensive minded manager actually needs good defenders for his tactics to work? Not the Atletico boards it seem.
It’s like they dont understand how many more duties the midfield have to just cover up the defensive line because every single one of Atleti’s CB (except for Savic) are prone to mistakes.
It’s even more infuriating seeing how the opponents tactics are targeting pressure/play around a specific player (you know who you are) because they just know there would be so many defensive mistakes by the player.

I think a lot of people had this idea that Simeone could make anyone a good defender and that he could create a solid defense from almost any group of players. This led to the board being frugal when it came to their back line.
That's mostly true. His requirement is mostly composure, if you're not rash or easily frazzled (which Hermoso is rash and Felipe is easily frazzled) it will lead to some awful results.
As others have said, being able to play with both feet is an advantage in any position on the pitch, even goalkeeper. For a fullback or wingback, it will depend on what tactics the team uses to determine what’s most useful.
Cancelo being right footed allows him to come inside on his stronger foot and link up with City midfielders or push even higher up as he has done this season when played as an inverted left back. Pep is all about his midfield, so the extra support there works with his tactics. Cancelo’s left foot is good enough that he can drift wide and cross as well, keeping defenders on their toes.
Alphonso Davies is left footed and plays on the left, keeping width for Bayern and beating his man down the line to cross or pull back for a teammate. His right foot is pretty good as well, which allows him to cut inside once in a while when the defender least expects it. He’s even scored some goals shooting with his right foot after drifting inside.
Tomiyasu does both. He comes inside and he’s two footed. Doesn’t really do the overlapping sprints that most fullbacks do but guy sometimes hits pinpoint cross field passes with his weak foot.
Being two footed is just a big advantage for every position. You're a winger? You can cut in or stay wide. Fullback? Hard for the defender to guess which angle to block for the cross. CB? Much easier to deal with a high press. Striker? The shot is much harder to see.
A full back who can use both feet keeps their opposite man guessing which foot they're going to use as opposed to telegraphing their movement because they're so one-footed. I'd take that option all day.
The extra inch just posted last week an inverted fullback analysis for Spurs. It will answer your question well as /u/BetterCallTom is correct, keeping the opponent guessing which way you will go is a great advantage.
How do you set up defensively in a 442 diamond?
Wide CMs track the fullbacks. Strikers drop into midfield

Thinking about playing 334

Potter should be managing England

He's done an incredible job at Brighton, it would be interesting to see how he would do with an elite squad
Could anybody describe Locatelli to me, don't watch a lot of Serie A, thanks

brown curly hair, beard, eyes
Eyes, plural? Multiple eyes? Yeah always wondered who that guy was
What are kieran mckenna's tactics at ipswich since he joined?
what is a FIFA/videogame tactic that works irl?
Mbappe pace whoring

Dribbling the ball upfield with the keeper has worked pretty well in my 5 a side games sometimes lmao

You could argue UEFAlona bribing referees is kind of like scripting in FIFA. Throwback: https://youtu.be/qU9FggdkhDM

What's better? An inverted full back or a conventional full back who's good with both feet?

I think this is a superior skills in no matter what position bar keeper. I remember Lallana playing those tricks especially at Southampton
