As you can see there, I usualy use 4-1-4-1 formation.
My orders:
If the opponent plays with no wingers, I focus pass down both flanks, and if he uses less CM's and DM's, I use mixed passing or passing trough middle.
In that game (the 17-0 one), I was playing the last team in the league. I used a 4-4-2 with arrows to atack on the RB and the LB, as well as the LM and the RM. He was using a narrow 4-1DMC-3MC-2.
The quality of my team compared to the second best in the league after me:
Note: He played 2-2 with the team i beated 17-0 one round before lol.
I play 35T season, never bought a single token and never will.
