    I was thinking of trying a new formation

    My old formation was


    ------GK

    DL CB CB DR

    ----CDM---


    AML AMC AMR

    ---ST ST

    I used that for 2 seasons but what do you think of this formation?

    I know I got players out of position but I can work on that

    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.

    With your squad you can go for the narrow diamond 4-1(DMC)-2(MC)-1(AMC)-2
    I never use so many arrows, have no idea if thats good...

    The formation above is very weak on the flanks

    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.
