Formations Advice Needed

[Paco de Lucia]

How about some fresh formations discussion?

Been playing on 4 stars successfully with a 3-5-2. Want to move up to 5 stars, so I'm looking for more defensive support while increasing my fire power up front.

Anyone have any advice on the best or unique formations that provide a solid defensive line, make use of wing attack, all the while stuffin' the box with finishers?

haven't reallty played 5 star but how about 5-4-1?:

------CM (Maybe DM)-------

RW--------OMF-----------LW

Dazmania, interesting formation that I've never used. Will get me well protected at back, but I'd be afraid that I'd never score with a sole CF up front!

This works for me, where you have two mobile DMs to cover the whole midfield.
Overlapping full-backs and winger type OHs, one left footed and one right footed.
I play this way with Netherlands in International games.

With Zenden and Overmars supprting the strikers, they also get their fair share of goals.

I play counter-attack with this, works for me, but it depends how you like to play...

Usually play a 4-4-2 on 4stars which has been a good friend all the way through the game. (just beat Arsenal 4-1 away)

-------------GK-----------

DR-----DC-----DC-----DL

MR-----MC-----MC-----ML

--------FC--------FC--------

All players except dc's have attacking arrows going forward only and attitude is set to auto-attacking.

Team at the mo with Chelsea is...

Kelsen

Johnson Terry Gallas Bridge

Macco Deco Castello Solari

Mutu Piliniak
