    Ya it really depends on the versatility of your team, I have players that can play various positions, that way I can adjust my formation during the match depending on what's going on, my base formation is butterfly.

    4-4-2 is the easiest and most used base formation. As long as you can field a good team with this formation, you can win the majority of games. The trick is to use the proper formation that uses the strength of your players.

    I am a big fan of 4-5-1V which uses the AML/AMR, so I tend to find strong players in those positions. Very wise to have a strong DMC as well, as they come in very handy.

    It is hard to find the perfect formation for obvious reasons. Everyone on this forum has their favourite formation and swears by it, but they do get beat by managers that know what they are doing....AND they get beat by the Nordeus Game Engine (NGE). We ALL get beat by the NGE, so sometimes it doesnt matter what formation you use, you will lose.

    I am of the philosophy that I will use a formation that exploits the opponents weakness in his formation to give my team an extra edge. Others here will not subscribe to that, and thats fine because they do what works for them. At the end of the day, if your team is strong enough in all positions, then it should not matter what formation you use, you should win the majority of games.
