    An awesomely versatile formation that combined with a few arrows can be either attacking or defensive. In this case, you want to force an attack through the wings, so…

    ————-ST—————
    AML———————AMR
    ———MC——-MC———
    ————-DMC (UP)———
    DL (UP)—-DC–DC—-DR (UP

    Motivated DL and DR’s block movement from the opponents ML and MR’s while also feeding passes to your AML and AMR. The 2 MC and motivated DMC block any centre movement.
    On the attack your formation will effectively be:

    ———–ST————
    AML—————–AMR
    ——MC–MC–MC—–
    DML—————-DMR
    ———-DC–DC——–

    That gives you 5 midfielders to block the opponent’s 5, and you have 2 attacking midfielders which have open access since he doesn’t have wing backs or fullbacks. On the defense, your formation will return to the basic 4-5-1 and still give you a solid coverage.

    Mentality: Usually normal, but I recommend going defensive with hard tackling if the opponent’s team is better, and attacking if the opposite is weaker with normal tackling
    Force counter: Yes
    Passing: mixed, through both flanks or /short, mixed play
    Pressing: own half
    Zonal marking


    if you have ml/aml player and mr/amr player you can also easily play the 4-1-4-1 formation

    and the 3n-5-2 or 3n-5-2v formations
    What if you put a red arrow on the ST, does the ST end up playing in the opponents goal?
    Arrows are still a mystery in this game. I have had good and bad effects when using them, but more negative effects when red arrows were put on DMC and side defenders.
