Ideas for formations and starting lineup

[Zygalski]

It's quite straightforward so go for it.
Those who have actually gone to the effort of creating our team probably know best but all are welcome to come up with ideas for formations, strategies etc.

My initial suggestions would be
4-4-2 diamond
3-5-2 (2 OMFs)
3-4-3 diamond

If someone can post thos nifty team formation pics from the other thread that would be cool.
Pictures like that would show the setout in the best way I reckon.

3-4-2 rocks

[hitmanuk2k]

it would probably be best if we fielded 11 players.....

[Zygalski]

LOL Yeah :D

Maybe we can 3-4-2 as a contingency if someone gets sent off.

sos me am fick me not add spell me not gud at mafs

I go for 4-4-2 thats the best formation to play with.

I think 4-4-2 with a flat midfield or diamond is usually very good. Or 3-5-2 with 2 advanced wgs. Others that r noteworthy, for me, r 4-4-1-1, 3-1-3-1-2 (bit like France) and 5-3-2 with 2 more defensive wgs. I think playing around with position is useful too. So when u have a midfield heavy formation, like 5-3-2 or 3-5-2, you have a few CMs in there too.

I think 4-4-2 is quite good!

I played us last night and I was usual Man U (except of course there is no Becks!). AndI lost and drew! Maybe I was being rubbish but they were good. And I did 5* CPU v CPU, Us v Real both on random form...and we won! Not just won but won 3-1! We were 2-0 up until 85mins when they pulled one back but we managed to score a third (thru Proevo3). And to cap it all I scored the first and set the 2nd for yonson99!

And no, I'm not making it up!!! Try this formation 4-5-1 with 2 OMFs. Push the L & RMF out slightly wider and bring the forward 3 closer to the rest. The line up was...

GK LFC
LB GFK
CB Blue
CB vdub
RB hit
DMF Abdulrazak
LMF Pro
RMF Bonzo
(L)OMF Zyg
(R)OMF Reb
CF Yonson99

sub t406jaw brought on in 2nd half for rebus

I will try it out a bit more but this might be a good formation to use? I have posted this elsewhere so don't get annoyed if u see elsewhere anyone!

Here's the cool pic from the other thread:

Who drew them? Did they get a little kid to do itfor them?

[Zygalski]

Hey, that's a bit mean!
I can't remember who made it.
Looks good to me.

Let's all make our own versions and see which is most artistic..

[rebusrahman]

Good one blue! lol!

[BlueScouse]

Here you go then Zyg, a bit more professional.

[Mambo]

Nice Pic!

[Zygalski]

Very nice mate.
Nice fonts too.

(I prefer my team to shoot upwards for some strange reason though)

[Lorenzinho]

i sometimes play a 4-3-3 formation. i find im stronger in front of goal! but i think 3-4-3 is quite good aswell!

[rich_rlc87]

This formation works well 4 my master league team. Excuse the drawing i did it on paint in about 30secs as im in an english lesson at the moment

[BlueScouse]

Your left hand side looks very prone to attacks if the left winger gets too far forward, other than that prety good.

[rebusrahman]

Yeah, I'd inclined to stick the LMF back more and just give hima slightly attacking attitude?

[vdub199]

what do you think about the offensive 3-4-3? i play like that.
