    My two Malaysia cents, which is not worth much!

    I love 4-2-2-2 Hexagon

    Your team looks solid and I think just a bit of tweaking is necessary. I see Hazard is a Shadow striker, maybe it is a good idea to have a red arrow on him. No arrows necessary on the rest. You can try to put a red arrow on Lukaku and see how that works out.

    Don't play attacking, but instead opt for Normal or Defensive depending on situation. Sometimes works best attacking thru the middle, sometimes down the flanks. You shd test out which route your team is comfortable with. If you play your playmaker I would definitely try to attack thru the middle. Passing for hexagon shd also be short.

    I don't usually worry too much about opponent's formations, I just look out for a potential dangerman.

    If you play counter, I suggest you go man-to-man marking as you want to win the ball as quickly as possible. Else play zonal & offside or just don't bother if you play normal.

    Good luck

    If you had a DMC I would have said play 3-1-4-2 , DL,DC,DR,DMC,ML,MC,MC,MR,ST,ST!! so why not go get one and try this formation!, works for me!. As it stands you could try 4-3-3!! play forward arrows on the midfield and strikers, blues or no arrows on the defence.

    To give it a proper go you need quality players in every position!, this will mean upgrading if neccessary, the main thing is pick a formation and stick to it!, there will be ups and downs as this is how this game works!, the more you change formation the harder you will find consistency!, strengthen every position to about equal quality for the formation you choose then get a player in the same position for every position as cover1, so in effect you have two teams!, your second string doesnt have to be as strong its main responsibility is for cover, you can slowly upgrade that aswell over time!.
