you must find which position your players are playing best at & work your formation around that. Then try to counter your opponent with arrows & orders, if you are unable to do this then last resort change your formation.

I have played the last 3 seasons using 3 different starting formations based on research of the league beforehand. Also changed players to accommodate.

Maybe the solution to your Question is looking at past results to see the players ratings look for ratings of 7 & above If the players have a poor rating have they got more than one position they can play in? are you playing them in their strongest position?.

Sorry for going on but can you see my first point that everyone giving you a solution to your opponents is not always going to work, but a staedy formation with a slight deviation on tactics & motivation will guarantee you a promotion every season.

agree, every player is special, have one position where plays better... or not, for example I have an excellent MC, the best, 7 stars, but don't do a lot in attacking... (sometimes I am 5 matches without see this guy in attack...really) and when I put blue arrow to him, save me of 40% times of a goal... the other 60% are the defenders.. so, yeap, girl, formation is important.. but is not the 1st, 1st you have to understand your team (^.^)
