[Sunderland AFC]

I’ve made some changes, got rid of McGeady and Grigg and Wyke (wages) brought in will nightingale and a free called Nartey (both CBs). Got a keeper from West Ham (Martin) and loaned Joe Garner from Wigan.

Cheers mate I’ll have a look at this. You could save my season haha

Any suggestions on what team instructions I should add/remove?

4-2-3-1 is my normal formation but I wasn’t getting a lot of joy with one striker hence the change on that picture.

Please see below what I have set up, I’ve placed my ‘better’ players in the starting lineup. Stanley upfront is a youngster on a free who scores a fair few for an 18 year old

Looking at the team they have a fair few central midfielders and wingers so 4-2-3-1 was the shape I was looking at.   I read that Gengen-press was suited for the league.  Advised defenders to stay on their feet and play a direct approach.  Struggle with a decent Gk so that’s something I’d need to address and probably another striker as Wyke, Grigg and Graham really won’t cut it and rotation isn’t going to solve anything in terms of gelling with the rest of the squad.

Hello everyone,  

so I started I game with Sunderland and I am normally pretty good with teams and building teams up or getting results.  However, I’ve found this a little bit of a struggle.  I was wondering if people have any good tactic ideas for a team in league one who have potential to get promoted or have even started one as Sunderland and to see what ideas and styles you’ve went for?
