Always used 4-3-3., tweaked it with a few commands (tip gave from a fellow player).

Normal
Through the middle
Whole pitch
Normal
Long
Man on Man

NO force counterattacks
NO play offside trap

The only arrows i have on my players is on my 3 strikers. All red, they take most long balls and pass it between each other through on goal.

Only downfall to this formation, is you can be exposed very easily against formations attacking on the flanks... But if you have a strong team, you will bring in the goals.
