Grantis - do those formation still apply given the updates back in the summer? That thread you linked to says it has been "bumped in light of recent updates".

I'm in division 3, and the teams are getting A LOT better, mostly through formations and tactics. I am behind in this regard, but my players are solid, so I am also looking for a bump in my formations. I obviously already use advanced formations and tactics, but I need to make them better to compete with the other teams in Div. 3.


They probably won't help you in that case, unless your advanced formation is awful. Those formations are really meant for newbies, they generally just keep a straight back line and stop players from sitting on the goal line, similarly they try to hold back from the offside a bit, and put the attackers around the box in the last set of boxes. At least that's what my ones do, not too sure what practice and soli's do.

If you want to mail me your formation, I'll give you some pointers. Not going to build you a formation though

Yeah my team is 99 morale and 99 fitness, i am a dialy player i always have them docs working on them, what was pretty low was the stamina, as i haven't been changing the players as much and between league, private and cup they get exhausted but i could imagine others as well? Well anyways i am out of the cup and put my subs in for like a week and they are pretty high up now like in 90's .

The only reason i post is because i really think i have the team and the persistence (daily player) to be moved up already and not be on the same division 5 for 4 times, even more when i compare my team with the rest in the league i should be winning every game easily.

It doesn't matter how active you are, it's the tactics, when I started brasil server I created a formation and only signed in once a week, I got a 60+ win streak,

Keep trialling new formations you will get it right, then you will breeze through divisions.

Grantis is the guy for help, he is the quickest manager to get to div 1.

i understand that this is important but is is too much, look at the team i tied 3-3 with ....

http://en3.strikermanager.com/inicio.php?accion=/equipo.php%3Fid%3D5949

I did move my tactics around and not only that but i rested my main players so they would be 90+ stamina for the league game, and i still can't win?

is this a glitch?

there highest player is a 37 :/ i don't even have a reserve player with that low of a score. I am really getting annoyed by this im telling you i had a much worst team then now, and now tactics used and i would win double of what i am now i just do not get it.


Not only this but checking, my team is more then double there average, there morale and fitness is low, there stamina good . my team 99 morale and fitness and stamina 90+

Just out of curiosity, have you watched the match subjectively. I can see why your defence got opened up by the opposition. There's a great big hole in the middle of defense and you tried to use offside trap and got caught out.

Send me your formation and i'll give some pointers.

Best scorer
Also what effort are you using and what positional play?

ie, man to man defense versus zonal,
In the middle versus up the wings, and
Passing versus counter attack

I did noticed that but i followed the tips from this thread about moving the ball in advanced and having my players close and go after it, during the game they do not seem to do that at all... It looks like i need and have to put a Central defender so i will have to change my tactics completely since without a CDF there is a gap no matter what i do

I did the formation based on the players i have rather then what i think is a best one. is there any standard good formations or that doesn't really matter.

You could always play your rdf or ldf as a cdf in all but the centre box, just move them across into the middle, when you're defending. It's not quite as good as a cdf, but should work in div 5, especially with your team. Alternatively drop the IM and get a dfm instead, play him only just ahead of the defence in the majority of boxes. Best combos for defense tend include a cdf though.

Another idea is to drop your offside trap entirely, that could give your defence the time it needs to cover the middle. To be honest the offside trap is more the type of thing a weak team uses against a strong team to try to even the odds a bit.
