Pressure Style.

[marianpg]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to find the better formation and strategy to play a pressure style game over the opponent.
I like the 4-3-3 formation. (2 CB, 2 SB, 1DM, 2CM, 2 SD and 1 DC)
Backline B - Offside trap C.
The defender position in the most offensive position. DMF in the middle and two CMF outside de circle in the middle. 2 SD open in Left and right.
Individual configuration: 4 defender opposite arrow. DMF too. CMF offensive and defensive arrow. SD offensive and 45° arrow to the line.

My question is...
Do you know the better formation to play a pressure style?
It's possible to change the CB position to CMF? without any defenders, only CMF?
And I choose pressure option, obviusly.

I'll appreciate all your help...

I used to play 4-4-2 an dwas never happy with how i played.
I changed to a 3-5-2 formation and i will never change back.
I think that if you win midfield you win the game and i have my midfield full of pace and strenght.I play a dmf (Drenthe) a cmf (Anderson),and nani and messi on the wings with ronaldo as the attacking midfield player.Rooney and tevez or torress up front.
Speed.

I have 3 very good cente half.
Micah Richards who turns into a brilliant player,Stam who is reborn and sergio ramos.
Try switching to it and i bet you will like it

just used this tactic and my god it worked well! so first off i just wanna say safe for this post! went 2-0 up by 10mins into the game. then the computer turned up the attacking pressure but every man was covered well and the dmf soaked up pressure and then had so many passing options to build an attack. will stick to this formation for sure! do you use any of the defence/attack arrows for certain players?

Need to try out the 3-5-2

After negotiations I'm hoping it will look something like this

-------Torres--------------

-------------Aguero--------

-------Maxi Rodrigues---------

Simao----Anderson----Reyes---

---------Maniche------------

Clichy----Kompany--Micah Richards

---------Akinfeev ---------

Will have to buy Akinfeev, Clichy, Anderson and Torres. Does this seem ok for a 3-5-2 formation?

I have the Dmf running across the pitch,so put the arrows left and right.
The CMF arrows are facing straight ahead and straight left.
Wide players are pointing towards the goal and towards the corner flags so they will stay out wide.
AMF Running at goal and i have the two strikers running at goal too.
I dont bring back my 2 strikers and the Amf to defend corners as i like to break fast after a corner

Make sure you have the wingers pushed right up to the red when you are editing the positions.
Have the DMF just to the left centre of midfield and have the CMF on the right centre of midfield so they are kinda covering the wingers and the middle.
Torres is unreal in that role
