Help with online formation

[Renegade1970]

just started online and need a good solid formation.
i try to play the arsenal style of pass and move and
in quick match i select Tottenham, trued 4-4-2 in 3 lines
but seem susseptable to uper teams through balls

Was thinking just using Lennons place and a single striker
with 5 in the middle, not sure of the formation in the middle

will that be any good, lennons acc and power are poor though

I use VdV - Defoe. VdV as a SS and Defoe as a pure 'boxstricker'

From playing around 250 odd matches, I noticed that 9 out of 10 players use the 4-3-3 formation, all be it, with slight variety. Usually, their style of football is cheap, desperate, lackadaisical, and at times, utterly diabolical. They either try for dear life to get a through ball or 1-2 as soon as they can, or try to exploit any loopholes in the game like a vile fetish. For this reason, I refuse to use this conformist formation.

I prefer variants of other formations. They provide room for experimentation, yet at the same time enable me to win. I could go for the now obtuse option and play the easy 4-3-3, but why? The now commonplace of the 4-3-3 system may provide a brief moment of glory within the short-term, but wouldn’t you agree that sometimes a long-term strategy is more beneficial than short-term tangibles?

Now, I am not by any means claiming to be a paragon of virtue in regards to how football is played, but at least I try to play decent football with some imagination and not follow what every Tom, Jack and Harry are doing.

‘Tika Taka’ football anyone?

are speed players as useless online as they are offline in this years game?

i played around offline and found 4-1-2-3 worked well
