Position of Strikers

[jubbinio]

When playing 3 upfront i have changed the position of all 3 strikers with 2 wide and sometimes 2 narrow to the striker! i was wondering what works best for u?

if i have have a big guy in the middle like adriano or van nistelrooy who can head well use two wf out wide to get crosses in, if i have a quick fellow like owen or saviola i use two ss tucked in just behind to play through balls to set up chances for him seems to work well

Iput two wide, but they normally cut inside as I like to put a leftie on the right and a right-footed player on the left

I do that too, squad permitting, and I play a SS tucked in behind, more of a link man between a midfield of 3 (again in a V) and the two up front. This formation also enables pull backs to the SS, whilst he often threads balls through.
