Tks, i have MR(29point) , DMC(34point) , I like use 4-4-2 , should i change formation to :

This formation, all best my player are used, but no MR ???

The point is to have at least 1 on both sides and you have DR on right side so there is no problem :P

[Potemy]

No MR is okay, you still have your DR, or else the formation will be illegal. Quite a defensive formation, though.

Many thanks !

- I think the most important thing in your tactics with 5 defensive players and five offensive players, this creates a balance of tactics.

- I've been using 4-4-2 strategy (this strategy will have six offensive players and only four defensive players). Should this strategy very effective attack, can score many goals but also opponents to score easily.

- So when against weaker opponents, I use 4-4-2 tactics. And when against opponents equal to or stronger than me, I used your tactics (more DMC but removes 1 MR or 1 ML), which is quite effective for me

- Pricop,What do you think of this strategy? :

That formation from picture it what I was planning for next season but I'm not sure, I will use that one or put 5-3-2 but 3DC-1DMR-1DML-1MR-1MC-1ML-2ST similar with what you have there.

Sometimes ago I played with 5-3-2 and I won really easy kinda everything, even CL and I didn't got a strong team, I had some 4 stars players too, I played with 1DR-3DC-1DL-3MC-2ST.

I can never see the point in retaining a flat back four if the opposition uses only one or two strikers.
Your just wasting the use of one player when he could be used in MF or attack.

Take a look to he's team, he don't have players like you or me, I really forgot when I played last time with 4 defenders for few good seasons, I'm playing only with 3 because they are good, 5/6 stars always but at him is something else

Is normal for him to play with 4 defenders

Nothing wrong with him playing only a back three, though, if that's all that's needed, less skilled defenders stop my attackers all the time. He has a 4* MC in his reserves, could easily play 3-1-4-2.

You said something good but IMO he don't have such a strong team, it would be better if he would quit that MR and add the MC 4-1-3-2

Midfielders to be like ML - MC - MC, it won't be any problem for him as long he have an DR

[Potemy]

We all know that lol..he could quite as easily drop one of the 3* defenders, though, or rotate between the two depending on whether he needs to attack or defend.
