Best formations and tactics for Man Utd?

[Cantona99]

I don't seem to have found a formation I'm happy with yet, anybody got any info on what they use if you play as United?

 

[Disco Pants]

Rooney and Ronaldo as SS behind Van the man surely?

 

[Cantona99]

Rooney and Ronaldo as SS behind Van the man surely?

how do you use Giggsy? tough finding the right spot for him, also what formation do you play?

 

[dee-dee]

don't play giggsy as he doesn't get in da utd first team anyways

 

[Asian_Tiger]

i either try the default formation, or i change it to a 3-5-2 formation, A5i think is the style i choose...so my team is as follows:

---------------Van Der Sar

Neville----------Ferdinand----------Silvestre

---------------Keane

Ronaldo--------Scholes-------------Giggs

---------------Rooney

--------Van Nistelrooy-----Saha


it all depends on their fitness levels obviously

 

[Disco Pants]

---------------Van Der Sar

Neville---Rio----Silvestre-----Heintz

----------------Keano------

------Scholes--------Giggs---


----Rooney(ss)----------Ronaldo(ss)

----------Vantheman-----

With Arrows pointing all over the place!!

 

[snoopsimon]

I find the default one works well for me

 

[cascarino16]

I usually play 3-4-3 in either of these formations.

----------Van Der sar
---Neville--Ferdinand--Heinze

--Park--Keane--Scholes--Giggs

------Ronaldo------Rooney
--------------Ruud

OR

----------Van Der sar
---Neville--Ferdinand--Heinze

-----------Keane
--Park------------------Giggs
----------Scholes

Ronaldo-----Ruud-----Rooney

Both of these work for me, especially the 2nd as Keane will work as a mid/def so its like having 4 in defence and 4 in midfield if you get what i mean.

None of my mates can beat me when im playing as united with those formations.

 

[AceRimmer]

I tend to go for 4-4-2


------------Van Der Sar------------

--G Neville--Ferdinand--Silvestre--Heinze--

----------------Keane--------------------

---Ronaldo------Scholes------Giggs--------

---------Rooney--------Van Nistlerooy------

----------------Keane--------------------

---Ronaldo------Scholes------Giggs--------

I tottaly agree this formation works fine for me

 

[executioner]

i am very attack minded.
------van der sar------
heinze----rio----silvestre
---------keane---------
park---scholes----giggs
ronaldo---ruud---rooney

lots of goals but depends on your ability.

 

[Estill]

Default, Park Ji Sung LWF, Ronaldo RWF, van the Man CF, Rooney AMF, Fletcher CMF, Keane DMF, Heinze, Neville, Ferdinand and Silvestre in defence and obviously Edwin in goal.

 

[Disco Pants]

Different formations work for different people, I have copied the sao paulo formation and have played it for 2seasons now. Does anyone change there formation depending on the opposition?? I tried it a few times and as I was used to certain players being in certian posotions I just keep with 1 formation.

 

[spiderman_7]

the Best formation is 4-4-2....

---------------V.D.Sar------------

Neville----ferdinand---Sivestre----Heinze

----------------Scholes----------------

Ronaldo--------------------------giggs
---------------- Park-------------------

-------------Rooney----Saha-----------

Subs: Nistelrooy For Saha also swap position with Ronney

If in Need for Goals stick ronaldo up front with Saha (A lot of pace) and rooney on the right wing.

 

[Barry]

Try the Advanced Formations thread, surely there must be a useful formation.

 

[OrangeFan]

I play default formation, Park as DMF (he rocks, try him there), LWF Giggs, CF Rooney, RWF C.Ronaldo, Ruud to the bench, sorry.

 

[sukhy2004]

I use -

-------------------------------Van Der Sar-----------------------------
Heinze-------------Ferdinand-----------------Silvestre--------------Evra

----------------------------------------A.Smith-------------------------
------------------------Scholes-----------------------------------------
C.Ronaldo------------------------------------------------Giggs/Park/Saha

---------------------------------Rooney---------------------------------
------------------------------Van Nistelrooy-----------------------------

 

[jonny05]

I use this formation for man utd - 4-3-3 and it' brilliant!

GK
-----------------------Van Der Sar--------------------------
RB CB CB LB
G. Neville---------Ferdinand-----------Silvestre-------------Heinze
DMF
------------------------A. Smith------------------------------
RMF AMF
Park------------------------------Scholes
SS LWF
-------------------------Rooney----------------------------Ronaldo
CF

[TysWeb111]

-------------------van der dar---------------------
Neville-------------Rio------------------------Evra
-------------------park---------------------------
ronaldo----------smith--------giggs
Rooney-----------Ruud------------Saha

Usaully bring on gueiseppi rossi on 60-70th minute

 

[Jake Small]

I would probably play something like Netherlands' default formation but with an offensive twist:

RB-----CB-----CB------LB
------CM-------CM-------
-------RooneyAMF--------
CRonRWF--------GiggsLWF
----------V.N.CF---------

Put the CM's with forward and back arrows and the whole team on middle defense (copy the dutch formation except make Rooney more offensive than their central mid and the other two CMF's a little more defensive to cover)
