This will sound wrong but once ive got my squad for the season, i try n fit a legal formation round my top 11, whats even worse is alot of the time who i sign is dictated by whats on the market! Obviously thats within reason, i wont sign 6 strikers purely because they were there but this season im playing with DMC's that i normally wouldnt, due to them being young, good and available. Its been successful so far right enough
