Formation Help.

[SPURS1882]

I'm having some formation trouble at the moment, last night I played a good 20 games against my cousin and embarrassingly lost 17 of the 20 played. I usually play with a 4-3-3 Barcelona style formation, when that failed i tried the 4-4-2 but then i found it hard to score at all. Any formation/tactics would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Well I really have no idea who to play with to be honest. My main concern is beating my cousin right now and he plays with man u and manages to run all the way from midfield into my box with ronaldo and it seems that every shot ronaldo take either goes in on gets saved by my keeper and someone's always there for the follow up. I usually play with spurs or athletico madrid. Cheers

Well, if you're playing Tottenham or Athletico Madrid, theres nothing much you can do, exept being a lot better than him. I don't realy know about them, maybe try playing with a team in Manchester United's level...?

I used to play with Barcelona but then I end up beating him all the time and then I start getting you have the strongest strike force in the game choose someone else... Do you have any recommendations for a team that can use the 5-4-1 formation?

Ummm this is tough... 5-4-1 is usually a formation to use while playing, not at the beggining. For a defensive formation to start with, you might want 4-5-1.

SPURS1882,

are you sure that your skills in defense are good enough? You can search the forum and read some tips about different ways to defend (using correctly square button, timing the tackle, etc).

Because if your problem is defense, no alteration in formation will help you the way you expect.

Good luck!

Try Juventus. They have a greatly balanced squad, and i've beaten Man utd loads of times with them.

Good defence, decent midfield, and some top quality finishing up top. Great squad.

Also use Iaquinta for the injection of speed.

4-5-1 is the way to go against man utd or barca and it doesnt have to be a defensive 4-5-1 try chelsea or inter milan with drogba /ibrahimovic up front for thier hold up play
use these players to bring your midfielders into the game
chelsea have a abundance of great CM/AM with high short pass speed accuracy and one touch pass attribute the focus should be on keeping the ball moving in your opponents half pulling his players out of position
if your being caught out on the wings aggresively man mark his wide players with your full back's and consider playing 2 def midfielders high up the pitch to break up attacks early

I'm useless with both these teams, I haven't got the slightest idea why. I will try it out though, thanks!

in PES, speed matters (especially if you're first starting out), so if you want a fast defense to play against wingers like ronaldo and messi, play as Inter Milan! ivan cordoba and maxwell are speed demons and can run down any forward player!
