T11 is still a very simple and basic game and therein lies its flaw. In every logic, there is always a 1% chance of an anomaly and it happens very often in T11. This is not FM we are talking abt but a web-based game.

1. What is the most reliable, hardest to counter, strongest formation? Does it even exist?
- No such thing. It's is relative to the teams competing in the league, but if I was to make a suggestion 4-3W-1-2 or 4-3-2W-1
2. Does the defensive approach have any big benefits? What about counter-attack forcing and offside traps (never read offside in the live commentary)?
- Yes depending on the accompanying orders and arrows
3. Long or short passing?
- Short unless desperate
4. How risky is hard tackling? Because even my strong backline gets passed easily.
- Zero risk. You'd get the same amount of cards if you play normal. Players probably tire faster but you get to attack quicker.
5. Is it recommended to use arrows on all players and overall how should certain players be adjusted (red/blue)?
- I have never tried putting arrows on all 11 players. Usually my AMx or wingers have them.
6. How the $^&!# can I make sure my players take 1-on-1 chances? My opponents score from every opportunity, while my team scores from every 4th or 5th 1-on-1 opportunity. No wonder I end up losing some matches.
- Impossible to control.
