Yes, these have been working extremely well for me too. I just had a cup match where I was three goals behind. I used one of your defensive tactics the next match and i made up the three goals and advanced to the next round. Amazing!

Thanks for this!

Actually it was the 4-5-1 V. I used it the entire second cup match. He was 2 up (2-0) after the first match. The second match I scored three goals and won the round. The final goal came in the last minute. It was fun to watch.

How would you play 4-4-1-1? I'm thinking normal or attacking mentality? Passing down the flanks (ML/MR) or through the middle (AMC)?

Pretty much the same as 4-4-2, i would go with mixed focus if 3 red arrows on amc ml mr & 2 blue on DC DC
If the oppo has aml/amr- just turn into defensive with counter attacks thru the middle: red arrow on the AMC, blue arrows on ml mr dl dr dc dc.

This is basiclly for beginers. After a while you get to know the game better and you'r able to find out
what formation works best for you.
Btw.. Im on Lv 18 and the formations i've used are listed up there.. those are my personal top10s
But yeah, as everybody knows there's no best formation and it always works in a different way.. that's why the game is still up after 5 years and a half.

I used your formations all season. If there would have been more time I would have taken 1st in my league as well. The team that I played in the CL was much better than mine. He clearly had spent some money on his team. My cup match was fairly even as you can see here below, but he had several friends on his side which made my win all that much sweeter. Thanks for formations!

I also had a league match just a few hours before my cup match. I rotated my entire team minus a few that I don't have players for as back ups. I think this strategy was key to the success of winning this match.
