From all the experience you guys had, which formations suit you the best? (The formation that beat majority of other formations)
If you have not so good team in terms of average skill, I suggest 5-4-1 aka Parking bus.
But in general, 4-4-2 is the meta.
How much better in terms of quality does one 4-4-2 team have to be to always beat another 4-4-2? This is only my second season but I haven't noticed any game yet where both players used the same formation. I don't think I'd try it and just hope to win.Quote:

Obviously there isn't a "best formation". But the formation i like to use is 4-5-1v after seeing some success from other high profile managers on here (dv8r i.e).
Before that i was using 4-3n-3, where i was getting a lot of goals, but also conceding a lot against flanked teams. Since switching to 4-5-1v, i've beat my rival in the league multiple times in the past 2 seasons who also uses 4-3-3. And my defense has been a lot more solid with switching my DMC to blue arrow if needed.
There is no "best formation", but I prefer playing 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly and 4-5-1V.
I like 4-5-1v style or sometimes change it to narrow diamond.
i've been using 4-5-1 V as well and it's working well for me. but recently, a team which has lower quality than me beat me. So was wondering if there is any other good formations to use.
I play 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly and look at my stats :D

It's seems that you show your victories guys. All formation r good. It's depends you to manage ur team.
No formation is better than the other, if your opponent is like 6 points less than you in terms of quality,
you can win with almost any formation, but your players must have good morale and condition.
Whereas, it is very different when playing a team with five points difference. For example in my league level 4
I am currently a 34.2 quality team. I must pay attention to any team's formation once their quality is from 29.0
or even 28.5. the same thing applies to the lower ranked team, you can beat that higher team with an excellent formation
superb morale & condition.
My rules of formation are as follows:
-You must have at least 3 defenders
-You must have at least one striker
-where there is only one striker, place at least two attacking midfielders
-Where your opponent has 4 defenders 1 ST is almost useless unless he is
of scout quality and above, and your opponent is from 3* and below.
-Try to watch your live matches your key players dnt always win MOM, But
you will know them as they block shots, take long range efforts (even though they dnt score)
they are like terrorists to your opponents, and they tire them out. I once watched a match where my strikers
could not score. A defender took the ball dribbled several and gave a sweet finishing.
Note such players and prepare them for important games, the higher their quality the more reliable they are.
-Generally, to score more than 3 goals you need at least two strikers.
I'm currently having a perfect league season without conceeding a goal.
can tell me your orders?Quote:

Course, play both flanks, attacking, hard tackle, press your own half, pass mixed and mark zonal and you can play the offside trap, but it's up to youQuote:

Dunno why but it just changes, game goes harder etc and ND arent so powerful after league 9.
Any formation can be the best, it all depends on how you set it up.
That's why I wouldn't recommend ND, you have indeed some nice trophies, and I can just say it's nice, but with Butterfly (at least for me) it's much easier to fill you trophy room with ALL trophies you can just get...Quote:

Below lvl 10, it depends on your players, above this would be tactic set up and arrow uses. 11 unbeaten game is not so Excellent, just good only, ok? I hv used 3-1-4-2 to win 3 unbeaten leagues (26-0-0) but i have adapted another way of approaches since it s getting tougher in higher level as many players are active with legal formation, smart set up. Unless, you have full scout with 8 stars player, formation doesnt matter any more. I dont buy token, and i choose smart tactic set up. 3-2-2-1 butterflies got raped against many formations like those with 3 wide defs, or 4 defs and focus passing middle. Remember, formation against formation, none is best, just a game btwn managers, and the smarter win the game!Quote:

http://i41.tinypic.com/4jp4y1.png
http://i44.tinypic.com/xqff5t.png
Well, at least it got 52 Goals fors ^^
I use 4-1-4-1 most often :)
Uhmm dude, actually I won 26-0-0 last season, just ok too? Also I broke the unofficial record for most scored goals in a league season (187) so I think butterfly is just fine!Quote:
