Season 73 - Week 3

[Duncton]

What formation and orders are you using mate?

4-5-1 V. Defensive, flanks, low pressing, normal tackling, mixed passing, zonal, counter on. It's what I used last season and worked great for me.

One thing I noted this season is that passing is pretty low, close to 80%. So I might change it to short and see what happens. Also thinking of playing normal instead of defensive to see how that works.

Oh dear, you're going through what I did.

Don't play anything but defensive, normal only when you have to. Always play high pressing. Short passing is ok but if they play 3 in their middle then switch to mixed. Man to man works perfect as its a defensive formation but combined with whole press it'll drain condition so don't use if you playing 2 games a day.

Problem with 4-5-1v is it's now a strict counter formation so you won't get a lot of chances, used right you'll minimise chances against you.

Last season I lost the title with it by a point. This season I switched to 4-1-2-1-2 and its solved all my problems.
