Best Formation Ever?

[demiraca]

I am currently using this:

-----ST-----
-AMC-AMC--
-ML-MC-MR-
------------
DL-DC-DC-DR

Works semi good, but is there any other good formations wich can beat the standard ones
4-4-2
4-1-2-1-2
4-3-3
and so on...
I am level 12 now, and could you maybe also share your settings for the formation?
Would be great since im starting to loose =/

No such thing as the best formation ever.

It's whatever works for you the most based on your best 11.

4-5-1 v is effective if you know how to use it but lacks wing defence so that's the main problem

Play down both flanks passing

4-4-2 Diamond is good for countering the formation that's weak in middle. 4-5-1 V-style is good for the formation that's weak in flank.

PS. Change formation too often affect the performance of your team.

4-3-3 classic

Is changing formation is good idea??

Is changing formation is good idea??

Every manager has different ideas

I never changed it and I had succes

There are players that change the formation at every game ,depending of the opponent formation, and had succes

So it's hard to get an answer

Well, it really depends on your opponents, whether they are as active as ya or they make it different way! For instant, if your opponent is using formation A, ya using formation B, and Ya keep trying to find a good counter formation against formation A, while your opponent do exactly the same to find a counter formation against your current formation. The final result would be 2 teams come up with 2 totally different formation... that have nothing related to the 2 original ones, so which is countering which? It is really hard to say. To be honest, I have a strong belief that our dear game engine make the decision as at least 50% of the final result no matter which formation ya use, the rest will be your detailed tactics and probably uses of some needed arrows ( I never fill my team with full of arrows, but arrows are very useful if you know exactly how your team behave with any individual arrows you put on).
On the other hands, if you are fan of changing formation, you need to have big squad, and spend more token for it to fill your squad with players who can play in all position on the field
All i wanna say is, I never change my formation in League, only change if I am pretty sure I can present to watch the match at knock out round in Cup and C1
Formation means very simple to me:
If you play attack and have an attacking formation: do attacking, Mixed (sides, short, long depends on your formation), whole pitch, offside trap
If you play defending and have a defending formation: do defend, Mixed (sides, short, long depends on your formation), own half, with counter
Normal doesnt make much senses to me as if you are better side, you surely wanna win the match, if you are weaker side (just a bit weaker), defend and counter to get the best possible result, as there is no point to play normal if you can score more and make your player happy or you need to defend and counter anytime you can instead of normal mode, not so much counter and not so much defend...
This is just my way of playing T11
