so the entire thing would be:

jontes fomation is just lke mine. it never fails. you come up with a tactic that can beat that

[TheGodEmperor]

mine is basically like jonte's...I've just shuffled up the distribution of the forward line

i think that chrismas tree doesn't works very well cause just one mid- defender can't against three or more MID-atks.

I myself am an adherent to the style of play introduced bu Cruyff called Total Football (you might have guessed) where evryone plays at virtually every position, covering for each other and stuff, so that the game becomes very elastic.

Total Football is technically the ideal formation but it's extremely hard to pull off successfully. You need to have well rounded players who are smart and able to play both in attack and defense. It's pretty tough to find such players nowadays who can compete with other world class players.

Of course every team has their own tactic to fit the type of players available to them. Personally, I like playing something like this:

--------x--------
x----x----x----x
--------x--------
x----x----x----x

... with the wingers pushing up high on the full backs and one of the two center mids having a bit more attacking freedom to support the striker.

thats actually surprisingly cunning, although I like my formation better because it promotes triangulation and total football

TF10 only playing with 3 defenders is very dangerouse. especially nowadays there is much more tecnical football.

but if you have batteries as wings no problems

I am playing with 4 in a diamond formation:

                                       stopper
      left fullback                                            right fullback
                                       sweeper

or like a sweeeper i thought you had a defensive mid there. not bad, but fast wingers would be an ideal way to get through there

no just increase the sweepers's range of lateral motion and move the fullbacks out wider
