I thought it would be interesting to hear what playing style we often use.
With the formation I use, 4-5-1 v style I always attack the flanks and usually my central midfielders have less of an impact.
Does anyone have a preference?
Also, how often do you attack, defend or leave it normal mentality?
As I use the classic 4-4-2, I don't usually put too much emphasis on particular players attacking and leave it as normal mentality. I am surprised though how much influence my two wide players seem to have on matches.
Yeah, my wingers are the main men in my team.
My 6 star and 5 star centre mid get average ratings. I wonder if I went 4-1-2-1-2 and focus on the middle, maybe all 4 midfielders may get good ratings.
I almost always have orders set to attacking, home & away. I play mixed, I have strong wingers [stronger on the left side] but also very strong MC - of which I use 2. I play 3[w]- 4- 1-2 a lot. Or if I need to , against strong teams I may do 3-1-4-2 using my DMC.
13 wins this season, 12 points clear, must be doing something right.

Is the formation using AML/AMR? Then always down both flanks.
Are your only flank players, DL/DR? Then always through the middle
You can kinda tell what to use but when in doubt, use mixed passing.
I use mixed passing + offensive mentality everytime. Seems to be the best choice, despite choice of formation. :D
I mostly use the flanks, but that's usually my opponents' weakness as well. I've used passes through the middle mainly with 4-1-3-1-1. Otherwise I usually play with Normal mentality. I've used Attacking a few times, usually with success and the one time I used Defensive I got beat badly.
flanks with 4141 changing to 451V .. but my CM scores alot tbh .. they always are here to finish the chances after my ST or winger pass all defenders or from a long shoot
meanwhile my team is way to balanced .. i feed attacking skills to my mid and strikers and compensate not feeding defending skills by applying conservative approach 4141 with defensive mentality ..
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)Quote:

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
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?Quote:

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.
