Attachment 46549 Thoughts on my formation/team?
Strengths
Your team has a lot of quality.
Your team can play through the flanks or through the middle, giving it some adaptability.
Weaknesses:
a. You have two out of position players, which will create a -10% possession penalty. At low levels, your quality will overrun most opponents, even with 2 OOP players, but towards the end of the champions league (level 4 or 5 and above) it'll catch up to you.
b. This probably isn't a great main formation, since it has two very noticeable weaknesses; limited flank defense and limited bodies defending the midfield.
With these players, you could play with 4-3n-2w-1, 4-2-2-2 Hexagon, 4-3n-1-2, 5-2-2w-1. That's enough for almost opponents.
Agreed about blue arrows on the ST's and DMC; Don't know how I missed the blue arrowed ST on my first comment.
Regarding the midfield, I understand your point of view. However, I like using 3 players (DMC/MC) to defend my midfield, instead of 2 when playing against the central focused ones such as 4-1-2-1-2 ND, 4-3n-3, 4-1-3n-2, 4-3n-1-2, etc...
What formation should I roll that would be balanced?
The most balanced formation is the 4-4-2 classic.
Based upon the players you've got (assuming you haven't made any roster moves since your original post), either 4-2-2-2 hexagon or 4-3n-1-2 as your default formation. It depends upon which formation your players have the best form with.
If your able to watch your match, then playing the counter-formation game is an option as well.
Good Luck!
