With my 2nd Team, i play this Formation. Defensiv, mixed, hard, Long, own half, Zone, yes Counter, no offside.
Red arrows on ML/R and on ST
Blue Arrows on both MC.

One MC scores at lot of Goals this season.

Now i ve got a strong DMC an i play 4-1-3w-1-1. Same orders but the lone MC has no arrows. The DMC has blue arrows. The difference now is, that the amc scores more Goals and the mc doesn t score Goals.

There are still two matches to play, i ve 5 Points more than the 2nd place.
