How’s your experience about starting with down both flanks or a single flank and switching flanks if things don’t go well?
Way way less effective than playing down the middle. Think about it, how often does your team score from all the crosses they put in?

Depending on how you line up.Quote:

I line up with 3 CD’s and a DMC against anyone who isn’t substantially stronger than me

Depends what formation I play. If you don’t have 2 central midfielders then short passing doesn’t work well.
I usually play with an attacking and defensive midfielder, so long balls work better

It depends on oppo's formation.
I will play through middle only if oppo has no DMC, and this not in all cases.
For me flanks are very effective, especially when you play defense
So when playing flanks, you’re always down both flanks or switch from left to right or vice versa?Quote:

yes! mixed give more option.Quote:

So do you play 451V with flank focus or mixed focus ?Quote:

Mixed/mixed settings I find are far too reliant on your midfield's creativity rating. I attack through the middle if they have no DMC as well. For 3DC-2DML/R formations i normally attack a single flank as it is the best option versus zonal marking. Both flanks if my wingers have a marked advantage versus their single fullbacks.
I never play single flankQuote:
