Winning is a form of art. Consistently winning is a show-hand of skills and luck.
These are my more favourite formations, which are not all I could actually play (eg. 4-4-2), that can be formed with these 11 players alone. 1 more 3-role sub can possibly change for another 10 formations easily.
If you were my opponent, what would you do to counter my in-game change of formation and tactics? Well, I’d hate to face such a team because any team with single positions would not be able to perform at all when I can counter with ease whenever they make a sub, even if their white skills are higher, because their positions cannot be shifted.
The only exception is probably single-role mutant with most being greys, but understandably they don’t work as well as before.
Having more white skills look unwise as the player may look ‘average’. However, the fact is skills are applied when scenarios arise. I look at it another way, Eg. When a ML dribble against a MR, the chance is he will succeed because MR tackling skill is way worse than the ML dribbling. But, if we add position MC for the ML and boost up his now-white tackling skill, what do you think it may happen? The chance is I may lose in exceptional duels (250 dribbling vs 200 tackling), but overall I would win more in the rest of duels, hence overall control and possession turnover of the game.
I always love playing teams of up to +10% with mainly single-roles, which means they can be defeated by formations alone, and skills would not even matter.![]()
