Basically this is the formation i have adopted this season and i am yet to lose. I am level 4 and never change this formation. I have won all games bar 2 which i have drawn 0-0. I usually score 4+ goals a game. But i know i will lose eventually and it is usually to a top team or a friend who tells me how he knows how to 'set up against me'?
Question is 'How would you set up against me. I am intrigued to how people set up against others.

your team looks scary on paper but will crumple under my team's superior tactics. If you haven't noticed, your support striker can easily be man-marked, and the attack towrds your goal will come through the centre, thus ignoring your left and right flanks.

Marc, don't worry, for your Level 4, your team and depth is far superior to 99.89% of your fellow L4 managers. The L5 managers that I faced in the Cup are also not close to you.
Unless you are looking to concentrate on friendlies against much higher level teams, you should have no problems in your daily games, whatever the formation they or use decide on.
Good luck.
I would like to see that ;)Quote:

I would probably run 3N-1-3W-1-2, with attacking/middle/hard/own half/mixed. The STs would be slightly off centre (This would take 1 of your 6* DL/DR out of the equation), and if there was a decent quality difference in your MCs/ML/MR I'd maybe move my AMC off centre as well. Alternatively I might drop 1x ST and replace him with a MC, making my formation 3N-1-4-1-1 (I'd maybe swap between these, depending on how possession was looking)
Concentrating the attack up the middle would give my STs a fair chance against your defenders, as it'd be either 2x STs + 1x AMC vs 3x Defenders, or 1x ST + 1x AMC vs 2x DCs, depending on which of the above formations I was running.
Having 3x midfielders +DMC+AMC would likely give me equal possession, if I ran 2x MC+ML+MR, my use of both an AMC + DMC would likely give me a slight possession advantage.
Your ST would have 4x men marking him and your AMC would have those same 4 + 1x midfielder on him (2 if I was running 4 midfielders). So I would hope that I'd have your attack relatively contained.
Of course, your players would smash mine, since I'm lvl 3 & only around 29 average quality, while I assume you're around 40 quality. But then, you'll smash almost anyone you go up against since you've brought thousands of tokens at such a low level.
How are you doing in the cup? I'm level 3 ,and at the start of the season had a roughly 4 star team, I got put into a lvl 6 cup. I'd imagine that being lvl 4 + having a much better quality team, that you'd have probably been drawn into a lvl 8 cup? Or did you only buy most of your players this season?
As unless you've only invested very heavily in players this season, you should be going up against teams are of a similar quality in the cup, which would give you a much better idea of where you fit into the grand scheme of things as a manager.
But what IF your team was the same level for relative purposes?Quote:

I'd be looking at playing a 3-5-2V or 3-6-1V against this formation.Quote:
