Need proper tactics for this formation

[beatngu]

Hi Guys,

Can someone give me an advice for the attached format?



This is what i'm currently using:

Mentality - Attacking
Focus passing - Down both flanks
Passing - Mixed
Counter - Off
Pressing - Low
Tackling - Normal
Marking - Man to man
Offside - Off

It's working fine against weaker opponents but need something better for similar or better teams than mine.

Many thanks in advance for any tips!

If playing vs strongest teams, play defense/counter.
Also use a DMC instead of the third ST.
I 'm sure that they 're not so good.

dont use passing - mixed .. better use passing - short and dont use mark- man to man coz it will drain ur player stamina and morale.. just use normal.. hope my advise works..

Many thanks for your advices! What if i replace one of my striker with an AMC? Yesterday i played a match against a similar Team and beat them 3-1. I used this format with the following tactics:

Mentality - Attacking
Focus passing - Down both flanks
Passing - Mixed
Counter - Off
Pressing - High
Tackling - Normal
Marking - Zonal
Offside - Off

I used Down both flanks as i play with an MR & ML. What about arrows? Should i set any for my players? I tried to figure out how it works but i'm still confused...

Not sure short passing is better with a flat formation, especially with 3 in midfield.

Arrows are confusing but I what I have noticed is anyone with red arrows pushes forward, leaving their natural position to press on they also have a few shots.

I experimented with 4-5-1v defensive with red arrows on DR, right sided MC and AML. I witnessed some beautiful runs and long shots from my fullback. I think it gives them more incentive to attack but could be risky. Blue arrows will concentrate on covering more of the pitch defensively, they won't venture to far up the pitch and more likely to keep things simple, make tackles, be aggressive and make simple chances.

Just my opinion.
