I am in a relatively fortunate position of starting the season with the strongest team in my league, champions cup and cup draws. The majority of my opponents are around 10-20% below me, with the odd one within 5% of me. Usually, this will mean another comfortable triple crown. Unfortunately, I have some real-life distractions that will mean many games this season will be unattended and I will not be able to maintain my daily 10% bonuses.

I would quite like a dependable formation and set of tactic instructions to see me through these absences.

My affinity would be towards a standard 4-5V-1 formation, with normal/mixed/mixed/off and high/normal/m2m/off. Is this a bit vanilla or conservative?

The alternative would be to go a bit adventurous with a 4-2-3-1, with attacking/middle/short/off. Given the quality of the opposition this season, this would have been my preferred option if I was micro-managing everything. But without the manager attendance, in-game and daily bonuses, perhaps I should be more cautious.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance!
