MLO Formations

[foss]

What formations have people had the most success with? I know it's tough to gauge what works or not, but just looking for opinions. I've noticed a lot of formations from really compact ones to just silly ones with 4 or 5 attacking players high up the pitch.

I found for me I'm happiest with a 4-3-1-2. That said, I've never made it higher than D3.

I notice a lot of 4-1-2-3 formations mostly.

I think the fact that fatigue, cards and injuries don't really carry over in MLO really unbalances the game.

4-3-3 is probably the easiest formation to play in pes 2011, but personally i prefer a 4-4-2 with a cmf and a dmf, one ss and one cmf,it just feels more balanced...(and probably less lame lol)

i m playing with a 4-2-3-1. i like to possess and if i do get down late in games i switch to a 4-1-3-2. i keep my forward(s) high up but my smf and amf around the circle that way they have space to dribble around the on coming idiot pressure.

i myself play a form of 4-3-3 or depending on the opponent - midfield stackers - i go back to a 4-4-2.

sometimes you see the most unrealistic formations with 3 forwards all the way pushed to the left, something for PES2012, no more then 2 in a certain zone on the field.
gets rid of the stacked sides

I've switched to a 4-2-3-1 and am having a lot more success. It depends on the players I guess.

Personally I hope they bring back offensive / defensive arrows and go back to the old formation menu. They really gimped it to make it easier to use for new people in PES11. I miss those arrows.

i m ok without the arrows but the 2 dmfs really makes the game work like real life i think cause u can really build from the midfield and spray those passes around
