Setting your Formation

We’ll kick off by selecting a formation first. Deciding on your formation can be a tricky task but most people have a personal preference, for me it is 4-4-2 with a diamond formation which includes an advanced attacking midfield playmaker and a protective defensive midfielder who sits just in front of the defenders.

Whether you choose 3-5-2 or 4-3-3 once you have made a decision you have to make sure you have the right players to fulfill each role. If you don’t intend to wheel and deal in the transfer market too much then pick a formation that suits your current crop of players.

It is always possible to retrain players to learn new positions or to buy a new player but both those solutions will take time. It is better to play a temporary formation and change when you have the right men for the job than it is to play players out of position.
