If I was you, I would use the 4-3W-3, you get a lot of goals, and it also defends very well too, after all my tinkering and what not I think that is the best formation.

No you did not screw up, keep those players till they are 30 years old then sell them so you get a return on them before they retire.

Yes they will continue to develop.


If you don't switch formations and you keep using 3-2W-3-1-1, these are the orders I would use.

Team Mentality: Attacking
Focus Passing: Through The Middle (Definitely use through the middle for that formation)
Pressing Style: Own Half (I never use Whole for any formation)
Tackling Style: Normal
Passing Style: Short
Marking Style: Zonal

Force Counterattacks: No (Only use if facing stronger opponent)
Play Offside Trap: No

Try that out I think you'll like it, post results.
