PeleProdigy9,
It is totally different league in WE8. If I have to go back and play WE8, I would start with 4 3 3 formation, with 2 OMFs. Please go have a look at previous pages in this thread where I have posted one of my formations. The point is I feel I was getting really good in WE8, and I can defend with less players. Thatswhy, I started using 4 3 3 A with no regrets. I had 4 at the back (4 CB) aligned in diamond shape and everything was under control at the back.
I always used to play against human opponents, and I think you always need more players at front to score against human. Human can predict better your next pass, and don't run forward with defenders exposing their backline like the CPU would foolishly do sometimes. Thatswhy, I don't think I would feel comfortable with 4-5-1 formation against my mates.
Of course, there is no perfect formation (after all this what this thread is all about ). But after seeing and playing with many human opponents, I think 4-4-2 (diamond or regular) and 4-3-3 (A or B) are most suitable formations in WE8. At least start with one of these, and play around with it, or have a back up plan to switch to during the game. I know in reality most teams have only one CF, but I guess it is different in WE8 or even WE9.
Thats my humble opinion, you might find my experience irrelevant to you ofcourse.
