Formation and tactics Deluded people ???

[SimplySimon]

i love people who post 'my mate played 442 with 15% possession bonus and still didnt win' like 442 is the holy grail of formations or something. I think 442 sucks and i've probably played most of the more standard formations you can play in this game during my 6 months and i won't ever go near 442 again, i think its just too exploitable.

People moan loads when they cant beat inactive teams or guys who dont ever turn up to games, well playing a flat 442 isnt gonna get you too far playing against proper thinking managers who dont just have one way of playing. When you cant beat bots and play a system every decent manager knows how to exploit, you really do need to come up with plan B or start playing another game, so to sum up... tactics are important!

Level 4...

Level 4...

And you're a random nobody. Do you have a point? Because mine was that 4-4-2 can work fairly well (and plenty of managers well above my level make it work). Good players and tactics make as big, if not more of a difference. Perhaps you would like to accuse me of having daddy issues just to demonstrate your class and eloquence?

very impressive but in half an hour i'm hoping to have chalked up my 5th league/CL double in a row. Sadly my opponent also plays the 451V regularly so needless to say the flat 442 will not be deployed tonight :P

Ah sorry, 4th, lost the first CL final (and no, i didnt play a 442 :P)

Thanks, I've done ok so far and I would hope to get that sort of record going - sadly only a cup double this year though, first time I didn't dominate the league

For the record, I actually beat a higher level and better Q team playing 451V with my 4-4-2 (forward arrows on wide midfielders, attack on both flanks, attacking, mixed, zonal, own half)
