First let me say I am a rookie on WE8/PES4 compared to many of you. I am just starting to figure out formation tactics and certain player combinations (like why Bergkamp and Henry work well together).
I noticed a lot of you like the 4-3-3 with 1 striker in center and two wingers. I have tried a formation like this and it worked pretty well but I noticed that with my playing style, which uses a lot of short medium passes on the ground with virtually no air play outside of crosses and resembles the real Arsenal's style a lot, I ran into some problems, like not always having enough passing options.
I'm trying out modifying Arsenal's 4-4-2 now because I found Henry works better for me with another striker like Bergkamp. So I moved the two midfielders out and up to be almost like wingers which stretches the defense almost as good as the 4-3-3. I am trying to stretch the field but still keep enough to always have the triangle option for passing in midfield. My two SBs are Cole and Clichy and I like to use them both in the attack bringing the ball down the side.
I'm wondering what formations other Arsenal players use and why?
Do other skilled players used the 4-3-3 or an attacking 4-5-1 with Arsenal or do you all "keep it real" and use the 4-4-2 liek Wenger.
As I said my goal is to stretch the field enough for runs but keep passing options and I found a modified 4-4-2 to work a bit better for me. Am I just playing the 4-3-3 wrong or what..
anyway, yes WE8 is an amazing game. I used to always play FIFA but I am SOOOOOOO glad I switched...
Oh and I don't use the complete real Arsenal roster.
I've brought in CBs vandenBorre and Kompany who split time partnering with Sol Campbell
and I had to get SWP for my midfield cause hopefully next year he'll be wearing an Arsenal jersey as he rightfully should =)_)
so its
clichy---borre/kompany---campbell----cole
------------Vieira------------------------
-------------------Fabregas-------------
SWP----------------------------------Pires
-------------Bergkamp-------------------
-----------------------Henry-------------
Reyes is my number one sub filling in for Bergkamp and SWP and Pires.
which seems to work better than
clichy----borre/kompany---campbelll------cole
------------------vieira---------------------
---------swp--------------------------------
--------------------------fabregas-----------
pires-----------------henry---------------reyes
