Flanks or middle?

I would love to try out the AC Milan's legendary 4-1-2-1-2 diamond and play narrow but I just fear my wings will be a major weakness.

YOLO! (Unless you're a christian)

Anyways I can't seem to find a formation to stick with. I have too many players I wanna use and too little places to put them. My favourite so far has been 3w-1-3n-3. I'm ok with switching formations for now as I'm only level 1 and I'm 2nd in my league with a 9-2-2 record and have only lost one cup match so far.

For mentality I find myself using attacking or hard attacking most of the time. My recent cup match I played (which happens to be the only one I lost) I had one the first game 3-1, and I had an important league game right after the 2nd game, so I decided to use a 4-1-3-2 and use hard defending as I just wanted to keep him from scoring more than 2 or 3. The result? I'm trailing 3-0 at the end of the first half. I was too lazy to bother changing formation on my crappy phone so I just changed from hard defending to hard attacking. I managed to get one goal to make it 3-1 and send it into extra time, where I scored another to win the round.

Long story short, never use hard defending.. although you may not wanna listen to me as I have played this game all of 2 weeks.

also, anyone have any ideas for a decent attacking formation that's still good defensively? Thanks

Once, I was winning 1-0 and I decided to try and hold on to the result so I was about to change to defending 4-3-3 long ball through the middle counter attack and before I pressed save I was losing 1-2 with two quick goals, I pressed save and luckily, scored 2 goals in the last 10 minutes to win 3-2

It depends by your formation. When playing 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly, I'm playing on both flanks because my AML and AMR are awesome. (Well, okay, my AML is injured, gonna buy a new and younger one if I see one.)

I think wingers are over-rated. My MC scores almost as much as one of my strikers, more than either ML/MR, and never gets below a 7 for each match. Now, of course, you might say those wing mids are crossing the ball, and they do set up now and then, but most action is through my MC/AMC - but still have it set to mixed. If I changed it to down the flanks this would change, if I changed it to through the middle, this would change, mixed works best for me, even when using AMR/L

What formation do you use to get your MC/AMC to score?

Use 4-2-3-1 and I usually attack down both flanks. Worked well for me. I use attacking if my opp's flanks are exposed.
