Win a league is not that difficult to be frank..win a CUP yes...
To Thread Starter:
The most balance formation ofcoz is 4-4-2 Classic... with that formation mostly ( Im not saying 100% but Mostly) u can finish top 7 to qualify for the next season..and if u are lucky U can win the league...u wont loose much when facing stronger teams with that formation
Tactic and order: attacking or normal (if u meet stronger team)/down both flanks/long passing/no offside/no counter/hard or normal tackle/red arrows on ML/MR in normal condition (if meet stronger team then u remove the arrows)..
About bonus: U can set it max since you still at lower level..it wont effect much balance...but boost a lot of player 's motivation...
About trasfers: U need to strengthen your squad by buying some 5-6 stars player..u need 1 good GK/ST/MC and DC atleast..in order to win the league
U can easily switch the formation of 4-4-2 C to become 4-2-2-2 (hexagon) with ML/MR become AML/AMR or 4-4-1-1 with 1 ST become AMC or 4-3W-1-2 with strong attacking MC to become AMC or 4-1DMC-3W-2/5-3W-2 with strong defensive MC become DMC/DC and etc...and even it can be Wide diamond 4-1-2W-1-2...
4-4-2C actually is amazing formation.. The most important is you need 5/6 stars Midfields...so u can switch easily...
Good luck and have a nice day!
