Only 2 MC's in your squad, you really need to buy at least 2 mc's, what to do if you play a match and they got injured???
Here you see a picture of my squad, pretty well balanced out the positions and can play lots of formations.
I have tried your new formation a couple of times without succes, its possible i got the wrong orders but didnt get good results with it.
I had just sold 2 CM and was looking to buy more I was looking to play the same formation as you but was worried about the big hole it leaves in midfield
Im going to go with
------GK
---CB CB CB
-----CDM
----CM-CM
-AML-----AMR
---ST--ST
3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly
-----ST-----
AML-----AMR
--MC--MC---
DML-----DMR
--DC-DC-DC-
This formation here is getting more and more popular with managers to use on Top Eleven, simply because of how players are spaced out over the field and it is very difficult to counter, but recently we have found a formation that is named the 4-2-2-2 Hexagon can be effective against the butterfly.
4-2-2-2 Hexagon
----ST--ST----
AML-------AMR
---MC--MC----

DL-DC--DC--DR
This is the 4-2-2-2 Hexagon formation, Called the Hexagon because the 6 attacking players midfielders, attacking midfielders and the 2 strikers make a hexagon shape. this is an attacking formation with using wingers instead of left/right midfielders as 4-4-2 classic, this formation can easily be countered by using a flat midfield formation such as 4-4-2, 3-4-3, 3-5-2 or 4-5-1.
Im trying to keep this in mind and I noticed you play the butterfly
I always try to counter the formation of my opponent, so i play many formations (butterfly, narrow diamond, 4-3-2-1, classic 4-4-2, ...). With the team i have build this is possible.
Butterfly is my favorite anyway, 6 midfielders ans you can play offensive or as well defensive with it.
This is my formation, and always im in the top..
