For sure the game have changed the last 1-2 years and this is the reason I 'm not responding anymore to forum questions asking for advice about formations and tactics.
Here another account I have and use mostly for events ELEN (the name of my mother )
Playing at LV3 and trying to keep it there as I don't have the time to be active for another one team.
I started the season with 3 good player (3 attackers) and the rest were 2-3* players and then bought some more to play the King of kings event (my higher q is 88%, the lower about 35% ).
I 'm leading the table
all my opponents are low quality, abandoned teams (except 2) but playing with normal formations and players in their positions
