Questions about formations (realy complicated)

[nikolgiorgos]

Your questions are very logic but need very long answers. Things are little complicated.
I also have a very good team - all 5* players at least. In first 2-3 seasons always played 4-4-2 attack and everything ok (except Cup final 4), having doubles in a row. Then I 've started studying formations in deep.
Well, the game have some dif. logic than real football and you must be familiar with that.
for example, a 4-5* team can win a 5-6* team with the proper formation. Loosing from 1* less q team isn't troll result.
Defending has as dif. meaning. When I played a game with 4-5-1 V, def, counter attack,flanks, not only I had more attacks (shots) but I dominate the match with 0-7 (out).
You must study a lot, keep records - make your own guide in a .word with tips you 'll find here and there, search the section "Formations" and Guides a lot.
This thread, "deeper approach" is good for the beginning. Take it step by step.
