I also play 5-2-1-2 which is a regular formation, play with a "1 star" team in the world cup, select this formation, select counter attack and go beat the Spain Brazil Argentina and England (myself incl) lamerZz
young>lennon
is young not in the squad selection?
i'll add you when fifa 11 is out, i no longer have 10 (sold it) and didnt buy wc.
as for pressure/aggression abuser's.
aggression makes the player give away a lot of free kick's.
im a free kick god, so i love it when they use it.
pressure makes their defender's run out of position, so long as your a decent passer, you can easily, out pass the other team and open huge gaps.
so its easy to counter them, it isnt easy to counter 5 at the back, well ive not found a way, against a decent player.
i stand by custom formations shouldnt be allowed, because you can set up your team to be unbeatable, even though the other player has had 75% of the possession.
brazil also use a 4-2-2-2 formation, no team in the world plays with more than 3 players in a forward position. also no team in the world plays with 5 at the back unless they are playing for the draw.
these formations have found a way to manipulate the game engine in order to be unbeatable. with 5 at the back you can cope with ANY attack. then with 4 up front you can penetrate ANY defence.
i use a 5-3-2 when someone uses these tactics against me, that way i at least build up play to my forwards instead of hoofing it up.
its also very hard to change formation during a game if your players cant play in the positions causing you to use subs or play someone out of position at the start of a game.
maybe their should be 2 leagues or it should be banned. i know why its done, but i disagree with it. the only way to counter it is to use it yourself, so im forced to do so.
why would i use my normal formation when i know it has no chance of winning against these types?
