    3 or 4 defenders, what's really needed?

    Sup guys.

    In this season im kinda struggling, i dont know if i should use 3 or 4 defenders.
    Usually i play 4-3-2-1, with DL/DC/DC/DR || MC/MC/MC || AML/AMR || ST

    What's your experience? I want to try out formations like:

    DL/DC/DR || DMC || MC/MC || AML/AMR || ST/ST (heart shape)

    or

    DL/DC/DR || DMC || MC/MC/MC || AML/AMR || ST

    Are these too offensive? What are your thoughts?

    Cheerio!

    I play 3-1-2-2-2 when facing weaker teams or teams just playing with 1-2 ST.

    Otherwise I switch one ST for a DC and play 4-5-1V style for a more defensive play.

    But I know how you feel. I really feel more vulnerable when only using 3 DCs but the DMC makes me feel a little more save again

    OT but I had mine at League:3, Cup:3 and CL:4 when I was L2 last season.
    Maybe you can even get more, not sure.

    3 or 4 defenders is fine! its your choice!, However your formations I dont use I do this way 3-1-4-2 or 4-1-3-2.
    DL,DC,DR,DMC,ML,MC,MC,MR,ST,ST OR DL,DC,DC,DR,DMC,ML,MC,MR,ST,ST, this has served me well over the last 6 seasons, if you want anymore help to play these formations just pm me.
    x 17 x 5 x 1

    Double winners x 5 , Treble x 1 ...Perfect league wins 26/26 x 1 (L8).
    Every comment I make on this forum is based on my own experiences and so should be taken as such!.

    you must have an extra defender to mark your opponent

    examples:
    if your opponent has 2 forwards, make sure you have at least 3 defenders

    i just beaten 3-5-2, using 4-3-3, and he has a slightly strong team than mine, and he was home
