1. What is the most reliable, hardest to counter, strongest formation? Does it even exist?
-I doubt about formations, I really don't think counter formations are working and no user can prove bad, because to rule a test and prove that you need to have 2 clone-teams with same evolution of the players.

2. Does the defensive approach have any big benefits?
-Like I said, I doubt counter formations are working but sometimes defensive approach is working and I'm talking here about orders.

3. Long or short passing?

-Mixed all day long

4. How risky is hard tackling? Because even my strong backline gets passed easily.

-Hard tackling is not something that I will use because for it will bring you a lot of cards.

5. Is it recommended to use arrows on all players and overall how should certain players be adjusted (red/blue)?
-I'm using blue arrows for all defenders and red for all players from middle line to strikers, always and for all formations.


6. How the $^&!# can I make sure my players take 1-on-1 chances?

-Well I'm always replacing my players that are missing a lot, try to look for players that are taking good notes, always 7+.

Good luck!
