Remember that if you use this formation, you canrsquo;t run toward your opponent goal whenever you get the ball, and you wonrsquo;t have the support you need. Play horizontally and take an inch of the field at a time until you find yourself in front of the opposite side goalkeeper.

7 The 4-1-4-1
Some see this as the perfect balance, and some see it as having players all over the place. This is up to you to decide. With a strong defense and some nice midfield support, your lone striker will be waiting for the perfect ball to place inside the net.

Ideally, your center midfielders should have strong physical stats, especially the defensive midfielder, that in this case is the first ldquo;1. If your team doesnrsquo;t have a good defensive midfielder, you can use a center back in that spot, make sure they have decent dribbling and passage stats, and yoursquo;ll be fine.

6 The 4-4-2
The evergreen 4-4-2, everyone that ever played a football game has used it, and everyone that follows the sport outside of gaming loves it. With the 4-4-2, you get full control over the game with some major focus on attack and midfield.

Having a good pair of side midfielders does change the game for you. Yoursquo;ll always have a good striker waiting amid the opponent penalty area waiting for a cross. Just make sure your strikers are tall enough.

5 The 4-3-3
An aggressive formation like the 4-3-3 is great for those of you that want to get straight across the pitch and try to strike a goal. With the support of a right and left-wing, your striker is in the right hands.

Find some great wings to support your striker. If they arenrsquo;t wings, but center forwards or side midfielders, make sure they have good dribbling stats, if they have speed, even better. With this formation, yoursquo;ll find that faking a cross and cutting through the penalty area can be beneficial to the scoreboard.
