I am looking for the most offensive formation that puts your players in the best position for goal scoring opportunity. Like if you are going against a team that is a lesser talent, and you want to destroy them, not just win?
Are there any formations that have proven to be highly productive offensively?
Thoughts?
yes , my formation 4 (dl.dc.dc.dr) 3 (mc.mc.mc) 3 (st.st.st)
there is no more offensive formation than this..
Yeah, classic 4-3-3 is pretty much as offensive as it gets...
Isn't it obvious?

Or with 1 CM and an extra F or AM
Thanks, I will have to give the 4-3-3 a try. What are your tactics typically when you play that formation? Are you normal, or defensive. blue arrows, red arrows?
Any formation that you put Attacking-Whole Pitch-Counter Attack then hope that the game engine doesnt screw you.
I would still advice to go against a much weaker opponent using a counter formation, defensive at first to gain all possession, and later if possession is good can change to attack/hard attacking.
The way this game works, i believe, in my past 15 seasons, no matter how strong a formation can get, even an attacking formation, there is a counter. And you don't want a weaker team to win you on counter, e.g.: 4-1-4-1 will usually destroy 4-3N-3 (from my records).
Another note, defensive doesn't mean your team doesn't attack at all. Against weaker teams, you can gain a lot more possession, and I have won > 10:0 against weaker teams using defensive mentality, in the previous seasons.
I have used Hard Defending with 4-5-1V and it backfired in my face for some reason :( I didn't lose but the game was 4-0 and ended 4-2..
What do you mean? I use Attacking formation with counter attack, but usualy it's only my own pitch. What is the glytch here??
Defending and Hard Defending, there is a difference there... I have never used Hard defending in the past 15 seasons. Else just use normal mentality.Quote:

I suggest you a 3-4-1-2 using this schema: dc-dc-dc ---- ml-mc-mc-mr ---- amc ---- st-st. It has more equilibrium in midfield and defense.
If defense works and midfield avoids counterattacks,you have more efficiency to try scoring with your whole team,not only your st players, and your players get tired less often.
Hard Defending always tend to backfire, so avoid it like a plague. It only works probably when you are 4-0 up in the first half and don't want to tire your players for the next match.
That is always what I am worried of when I go to a defensive tactic. I assume that defensive means your own team sits back and absorbs the attack by having numbers back. Therefore giving your opponent time to get more shots. More shots, means more goals eventually.Quote:

Thanks for the help!
I can confirm 4-1-2N-1-2 is a good counter for 3W-2N(MC)-3W(AM)-2. I faced this formation with one of my teams in last years CL final and won 4-0 (teams on par, me 2 quality points stronger). Tactics: Normal, mixed through middle, no offside. Defense, long counter might work well if you are worse in quality.Quote:
