    Firstly, Cup draw depends on the server you are on, this cannot be changed so you will have to endure it until you get up in Levels.

    1. I personally so not use DMLs or DMRs, my DR & DL defend pretty well, if you are concerned, just throw red arrows on the DL & DR. Playing the formation as you do tends to weaken your wing defence. I like playing teams with only 3 central defenders, I attack out wide with great success. So if you play 3 central defenders, I'd play a DML & DMR. I prefer 4 at the back, always

    2. I tend to focus passing where my opponent is weak. So if playing the narrow diamond I attack down both flanks, if playing 4-4-2 classic I attack through the middle

    3. Pressing style is always own half, unless I play a much stronger opponent, then whole pitch

    4. Passing style I use short at home, mixed away, unless playing a stronger oppoenet when I mya play defensive & long passing

    5 Always zonal

    6. If I have bought a dud, you soon know after 4-5 games, I sell them

    7. I don't put much creedence in SAs. I find a normal player will always score from the penalty spot, & I have a normal MR that scores often from free kicks. One SA that is important is a Defensive Wall, get one if you can & an Aerial Defender is also a very good

    8. I never play players out of position, unless they go on as a sub. I have seen teams that do well playing MC at MR or ML, but I simply don't risk it, especially long term

    9. All my players skills are within 2 point sof each other, always

    Remember, everyone is different & everyone will have a different opinion. Maybe you can gather info & come up with the best solution.

    Hope that helps
    No regrets

    Nice Guys!! really appreciate your help... Really looking forward to more opinions...

    Btw when you say, i focus passing where my opponent is weak, you mean where he owns the less star players or where he got not many players??

    Also you mentioned you would attack me through the flanks using DML- DMR, dont you think that defensive midfielders have slight chance to score?? why would you use DML -DMR instead of AML-AMR??? Also in your team if you use for your flanks only AML-AMR will they go back to defend?? or you will be completely defenceless???

    He meant he'll use 3DC, DML/DMR are just high defensive fullbacks as he'll be defending man vs man and don't got to worry about the opponent's fullbacks overlapping.

    ------------------GK-----------------------

    -------DL-----DC-------DC-----DR---------

    -------------------DMC--------------------

    -----------MC-------MC-------MC------------

    --------------------AMC---------------------

    ---------------------ST----------------------

    Last game i played 3-4-1-2 with Short passing through the middle and normal mentality and lost 2-1...

    Just bad luck? Should i try it again, or any other ideas?? I have a better team than him... I average 39 quality with almost all players having special abilities and he is using 33 average quality... and 3 of them are with a special ability...

    This formation is very strong in possession but thin on flanks. It's not strong in attack either and very congested in middle. Depending on your players because you don't want to bench your star but 4-2-2-2 hexagon red arrows on your fullbacks attack down flanks long ball is the appropriate tactic. Or anything similar or use a DMC to prevent your DC's breaking the line if you want safety. 4-5-1v would work as well cuz even though you play with 1St, you totally dominate the wings when your fullbacks support.
