If a man has the right attitude, even if he is average, he'll work hard enough to play well. As long as he thinks he can be good, that's all that counts.

Nice... I tried a Total Football-like formation with one of my experimental teams
DC--DC--DC--DC
------MC----ML
AMR-AMC------
-----ST-ST-----
Won the league losing just once. But that was in the lower levels, I havent tried that in the higher levels.

Can u tell performance/form of your player? I heard so many arrow not good![]()
If you look at the picture, it shows that one if the MC's arrow is pointing down. So I played one game with just an MC who slide into a DMC with the arrow down. His rating dropped. Then I tried to do the same thing with a player that is besides a MC also a DMC. His rating stayed the same or went up.
So I think that if you put an arrow on, the player moves one up or down. I think it is important, that your player should have the positions that you want him to play in order to keep the rating up. I tried the same thing with a DC and a DC/DMC. In the end the player with the additional position turned out to have the better ratings. These are just my findings. But overall, I have not lost a game using this formation. Don't get me wrong, I am sure that there is somewhere a counter formation for this on. Maybe some center based like the 41212 ND etc. It is just to experiment![]()

Playing total football is a nice idea. I test the formation you mentioned on the first page with Troll FC, since the last season match is pointless. Here is the first result from a friendly an Asian manager from my friends list played and total football worked (though the quality difference between both team was used since he fielded his bench warmers).
Cudos and respect for the nice system.![]()

I have a question about the DMC and MC.
My mc is more attacking than my dmc. Should I swap the position between them?
As I'm writing this, my team just won 1-0 at home with 4-3-3 total football. My opponent played with a weird formation;
------ST-------
-----AMC---AMR
ML-MC---MC-MR
----------------
---DC-DC-DC---
-------GK-------
My team over-quality him but managed to score only one goal. Hmm maybe his formation can counter this formation..but with higher quality players. Anyway, I think I will stick with 4-3-3 total football for few more games to see if it can bring more victory to me![]()
To be honest with you, I think that there is a counter for every formation. But if I look at a more attacking formation, like the one you showed, I would let my DMC play, and possibly take the arrow off. Just depends how the game going, because you also have a attacking DC, so that really leaves only one true defender in your half, which could be risky facing attacking formations while forcing counter attacks. Hope you are able to gather some more wins and share your experience here![]()
