Formations.. FIFA, FM, ProEvo etc, etc

[Nordecke]

So what formation you do you boys run on your respected games?

Currently, on FIFA, I'm running a 3-5-2

Howard
Jags- MoFro(sweeper)- My VP
Pienaar- Rodwell- Arteta- Baines
Cahill
Saha- Yakubu​

Fellaini is key at the back, the last line of defence.. MoFro is a tackling beast so it works well..

Arteta is the heartbeat, sitting deep in the midfield as the playmaker.

Sounds crazy, but it works well..

I do have trouble with good teams who have fast wingers, and the ability to switch the point of attack (Chelsea)
Even in this case, Fellaini is right there.

So what do you run?

Haven't played FIFA in a while, but I remember using something like:

Howard
Coleman Jags Distin Baines
Arteta Fellaini
Hazard Bilyaletdinov Bale
Drogba
​

Obviously I'd bought a few new players, like....

 

[chrissyjack]

Doesn't matter which formation I use. My son usually tonks me

 

[Alio]

3 seasons in on FM11, I am playing...

Howard
Onouha, Jagielka, Kryvstov, Baines
Defour, Rodwell
Arteta, Bilyaletdinov, A.Johnson
Dzeko

I'm obviously top of the league now =)

 

[Phil Neville Superstar]

4-4-2

 

[Seamus Colemole]

I like to play a 4-6-0 with 3 right backs and no strikers.

I know it looks odd and takes a while for the team to gel but trust me give it 4 or 5 games and its pretty much unbeatable.

 

[icburns]

4-2-3-1, I never concede, but I rarely score... sound familiar?

 

[BlueLlama]

Fifa 442 diamond : Howard, Nev, Jags, distin, Baines: Arteta, Fellaini, Pienaar, Cahill: Yak, Me.
FM generally 442 with occassional use of 4231

Alright Davey lad?

[RFUS]

I also remember using a 4-3-3 in some games too:

Howard
Coleman Jags Distin Baines
Arteta Fellaini Bilyaletdinov
Hazard Drogba Bale​

 

[Summerskin]

4-1-2-1-2.

Heavily investing in youth at the minute too after getting rid of some serious dead weight (Saha, Pienaar and Yakubu namely).

Howard
Coleman Jags Distin/Dann Baines
Fellaini
G. Dos Santos Jarvis
Bilyaletdinov
Jo Vela/Palacio

Jo is absolutely knocking them in for me.

 

[best little spaniard]

Hmmm....One team a had on a fifa game years ago

Ustari
Castro-Mertesacker-Kompany-Bale
Ronaldo-Veloso-Fabregas-Silva
Pato-Messi


It was a beast of a team. The only player below a 90 rating was the keeper.

 

[ijjysmith]

Managing Ajax at the moment. But my last Everton team on FIFA looked like this.

Howard
Baines Jagielka Vertonghen Heitinga Coleman
Arteta Fellaini Defour
Cahill Iaquinta

532 works a dream with Baines and Coleman bombing forward on the overlap whilst having the defence sorted. I'm quite a defensive FIFA player, hitting on the break all the time. Works well.​
