Hi fmldotcom, you have your point about 4-5-1V style. I played it the whole time last season mostly counter attack however it do not work anymore for me.
I wonder what kind of formation you are usually use and how to use it effectively Thanks

I love footie and I play everything involved it since I was a kid. I love watching wingers because they are skillful and entertaining but we must go back to the basics. The 1st lesson your coach gives you as a defender is to block the attacker from going towards goal and push him sideways to the sideline. This game and most other football manager game is based on probabilities so attacking from the front/middle is always more effective. Whenever I use 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 V I always use as counter attack passing on the flanks. 4-5-1/4-2-3-1/4-1-3-2/4-1-4-1 are also counter attacking formations but I use long balls through middle instead. Long balls through middle are also effective against teams using 2 DMC.

The best way to set a formation is to build your team around your best player and set formations from there. I already wrote too long...I don't mind but some ppl don't like reading. PM me or wait til later I write new thread and we can exchange thoughts more freely there.
