Hello!

I've been spending a lot of time today to create a perfect squad for my T11 team.

My idea:

Next season, I want to play a flexible 3-3-2-1-1 system that looks like this:

-----------ST-----------
----------AMC----------
-------MC-MC--MC-------
DML-------------DMR
------DC--DC--DC-----
-----------GK----------

My idea is to have a formation that is able to adapt to the opponent's formation as fast as possible.

Example: Imagine my opponent playing with 1 DMC, 1 AMC and 3 STs (e.g. 3-1-2-1-3). Then i'd switch to following formation:

--------ST-------ST-----
-----------------------
-------MC-----MC-------
-----------DMC---------
DL----DC--DC--DC---DR
-----------GK----------


So, if I want to maintain this formation a whole season, i need some back-up players. 1 back-up player for each position that is used once in my formation (DL, DR, DML, DMC, DMR and AMC). And 2 back-up players for each position that is used twice or more (DC, MC, ST).

Finally, i need following players:

2 GKs
2 DLs
5 DCs
2 DRs
2 DMLs
2 DMCs
2 DMRs
4 MCs
2 AMCs
3 STs
26 total


I've got 22 slots, while i want to keep 1 empty for one of 2 talents i get every season. So, 21 slots for 26 positions. This means i need players with double positions.

Here we go:

2 GK
2 DL/DML
2 DR/DMR
3 DC
2 DC/DMC
4 MC
2 AMC
3 ST
20 total

Now my aim is to be able to have a substitute for every position in one single match:

first 11 (remember the 3-2-3-1-1 formation at the beginning of my post):
GK
DL/DML
DC
DC
DC
DR/DMR
MC
MC
MC
AMC
ST

Subs. (6 players):
GK
DC/DMC
DL/DML
DR/DML
MC
AMC
ST
7 Total

Here it is. i have to remove 1 player (e.g. DL/DML).

If my DL/DML gets injured in a match i haven't a sub for him.


Next task is to compress all positions twice of the formation (3-2-3-1-1) plus a DMC into 17 slots:

2 GK
2 DL/DML
3 DC
1 DC/DMC
2 DR/DMR
4 MC
2 AMC
2 ST
18 total

Here you see the problem. I have no idea how to compress my team into 17 slots. I tried different ways (e.g. trying to use DC/DL, DC/DR and DMR/DMC) but there are always 18 players in total instead of 17.

a way to solve this would be to have an ST/AMC or an MC/AMC but they are so rare and mostly too old on the transfer market.

Do you see a way how to get all positions i need into only 17 slots? Would be great if someone could help me!
