need some help with my new ML

[bluefanman]

i need a good formation/setup in my new chelsea ML.
At the moment ive been playing 442 with drog and shevchenko up front with Lampard and Ballack in midfield, with two wide men. But it doesnt work very well. Anybody got any other ideas for formation that works well, i quess 433 could work well but i dont really like it that much.
any help welcome.

I would do a 3-4-2-1 formation. Carvalho Alex and Terry at the back making no forward runs and terry as a Sweeper. Then diamond midfield. essien or makele defence mid making no forward runs and high defence. Lampard and Ballack Centre mids Making forward and side runs with normal defnsive runs. J.Cole attacking mid with straight forward run and low defence. Shevenko and Kalou wing forward with eiver normal or low defensive runs up to you i normally do low and you will always catch them on counter attack. Then drogba up front. If you try and like this formation there wil be no need for full backs like cole bridge belletti etc. So sell them and maybe get a few young players for the future (check other posts) If dotn enjoy just use your imagination and try a few in training. Change it to adapt to your weakneses ie if your poor at scoring you wil need more strickers if your poor at defneding more defenders.

Use 4-3-3 but as an arrow formation for the front strikers instead. It will look like this:

-------------Drogba------------
---Shev-------------- J.Cole---

Use the forwards (Sheva and Cole) to feed Drogba. Drogba can also use his height to receive the balls too.

I would recommend Lampard, Essien and Ballack in midfield but put Lampard and Ballack slightly higher up than than Essien:

----Lamp-----Ballack----
---------Essien---------

Then have the usual back four (Cole, Terry, Carvalho, Alex/Belletti).
