Goodyman Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 What type of manager are you? Do you prefer to use the standard 442 or 433's OR just move the positions around to create something crazy. Plus, how do they work for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'm a fan of the old adage of building the formation to fit the players, not the other way round. I've ended up with some fairly creative looking formations over the seasons with that mind, but they normally work out OK. Obviously, over time, you do need to start adapting them towards whatever level you're competing at. My experiences have been that a back 5 (with or without wingbacks) just doesn't work for me. In my main save, I currently have a narrow 4-4-2 diamond for regular use; a narrow 4-1-3-1-1 for when I'm trying to hang on to a lead; and a 4-2-3-1 for when I'm aggressively chasing a game. They seem to be working out OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jozza800 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I am a lover of odd shapes! My current tactical shape looks like this ------------------------ GK ------------------------------- ------------- CB ---------------- CB ------------------ LB RWB ----------------------------- DM --------------------- ------------- CM ------------------------------------------ ----------------------- AMC -------------------------- AML ------------- ST ---------------- ST --------------------- I have a mirror version. Depends on the strength of the opporsitions fullbacks and/or wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scab Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I've pretty much settled on a 4312 at this point, occasionally switching to 451 when I need wing play. Usually wins us the midfield battle which tends to translate into winning the games, assuming I can keep opponent counter-attacks in check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
