What were the orders when you used 4-4-2 ???
4-4-2 is the way to go when nothing is going your way...
If you have the players for these position use this formation...
*********ST**********
**AML***AMC***AMR***
******MC*****MC*****
**DL***DC***DC***DR**
Put RED ARROW on your AML and AMR...If your STRIKER does not performs well then you can use RED arrow on him too...
Mentality - Attacking...
Focus Passing - Down both Flanks...
Pressing Style - Whole Pitch...
Tackling Style - Hard...
Passing Style - Mixed...
Marking Style - Zonal...
Play off side trap - Yes...
And decide one formation you want to play at the beginning of the season...Buy your players according to it...And then STICK to it for the whole season...Too much chopping and changing will never bring good results......
