Formations and tactics ideas!

3W-2Dmc-2Mc-2aml/r-1St or 3W-2Dmc-1Mc-2aml/r-2St both are best.First one as defensive and second one as offensive.

I've been really happy with 3w-2dmc-2mc-2aml/r-1st... Particularly against the 4-5v-1.

There is still room for wingers to receive long passes from deep-lying players though, especially when counter-attacking. Or does the DMCs (or combination of DMCs and Side Defenders) stop those? Have you seen it? As it is now, it seems that the wingers might face some difficulty as they have to beat at least one player if they decide to dribble, and if they decide to send an early cross, they still have to send it in such a way that the DMC does not block it.

I'll pay attention more to the winger action next time I face the 4-5v-1. All I can tell you right now is that there haven't been any goals, which could be due to a million different reasons (opp wasn't counter attacking, my player quality make up for bad defensive tactic, etc). I typically go for a 3DC-2DML/R in that situation since I prefer to have all attacking midfielders directly marked. Due to a suspension, I had no DML and went with the 2DMC formation. It went well so I used it a few more times. I wish I could pull up the matches from last season to get more of the games stats/ratings.

Ok, thanks.
