Offline strategy

[Marco Brown]

Hey guys,

My life is starting to get more busy, I will not be able to attend every game. Despite formation, does anyone have any good orders and arrows that you use when you play offline?

Thank you in advance.

If I'm not going to be at the match, I try to have my guys in a balanced formation they play often, in my case Maple Leaf with sort of average orders, Defensive (or normal if opp's weaker) with mixed passing & focus. And don't forget to set up your subs!

[Marco Brown]

Funny that you say that. I figured I had everything set up fairly well. All was good, until one of my 3 DC's got red carded. Dang, that was it. Fell automatically into a illegal formation. Crap, he was able to equalize and score the winning goal. Maybe 442 would have been the saving grace, LOL. Maple tree, need to check it out thanks for your advice.

[Cat Harrison]

Yes, thats why I mentioned subs, thinking of injuries causing illegal... but yeah, red cards do too. 4 4 2, Maple Leaf.. something that if you are down a guy you wont get hosed.

442 is the only formation that dont became ilegal If any of the player sees a red.

But of course you dont expect to see reds in everygame.

Oh come man... You know better that there are other formations with more than 3 defenders or 2 midfilders... 4-3-3 narrow diamond 4-5-1 (unless the striker gets a red) etc

By the way what did the maple leaf formation look like I forgot...

You are so right, it is the best for that. But I hate 4 4 2 though so usually leave my team in this Maple Leaf variant:

My D line rarely gets a card so I don't (didn't! watch it happen after I said this) worry too much about a ejection for them.

Wiki has nice clear description of requirements to avoid possession penalty: http://wiki.topeleven.com/Squad#Formations

It is a safe formation,only not very much in the defence... But it is too much defensive,isn't it? For me narrow diamond is my safest formation. The defence is safe the midfield and also the strikers. Unless my strikers and 2 of my defenders get a red card in one game... But that wouldn't happen

P.S Bobo and Bobo II are they king and son or something

My team often plays that form, I did say for unattended matches it's good to have your guys in a familiar layout, for you obviously that's ND.

Yes, as a matter of fact, on my team, Bobo IS King! I even named my Stadium for him

You got that right I see a super legend there. I will start to keep my good performers too, I always sell them when they are 3 stars
