No it won't work if you have a stronger player in reserve and you need to play your weak player in that position in live matches. If I want an aml for instance playing a narrow formation won't help unless I get lucky and get a double position player that has aml as his second position. E.g st/aml. To be sure of getting aml I have to play a wide formation like 451v
Call it rubbish or not that's not my problem I'm still able to manipulate the system and get the players I want and it has helped my team a lot. I've gotten only central defenders as recommendations this season because my 2 DC are 102% each while the rest of the squad is high 6 star, a few 7star and four 8star players. Coincidence? I think not
Sorry mate, when I had a player below 110% in first eleven was probably first level, and yes even when I had one 113% DL-DC who was the weaker in first eleven I was still getting either ST-AM or GK. But as I will manipulate the draw next season, we'll see. Anyway I do not believe it either way, totally depends on luck.
