Caimin Keegan Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I am playing as Villarreal in la liga and am into my third season. Up to now, I have performed ok getting two 3rd place finishes. I have using this formation for the vast majority of this time. It was chosen because of the necessity to use my best players in their best positions - the likes of nilmar, rossi, valero, de guzman, cani. However despite the formation performing ok, I feel that the team has more potential and should be winning games more often and by a bigger margin. My current front 6 lines up like this: DM(Def Mid - def) CM (Ball Winning Mid - def) AM (Att Mid - Attack) AM (Att Mid - Attack) CF (Comp Fw - Attack) CF (TM Support) The main problem is that the front four tend to bunch up on the edge of the penalty area which leaves no room. Games tend to have me with a large possession advantage and shots on target advantage and then ending in a defeat or a draw. I have tried lowering the mentality of my AMs so that the drop a little deeper but this didnt work (Had them slightly above halfway). I tried to get AMs to"hug touchline" and this too didnt work. So has anyone any advice for making this formation work? Is there anything I didn't try? Would be great to get some advice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakes Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 You probably want to read some of Uncle Sam's threads on the 4-2-2-2 for ideas. http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/293315-FM-2012-4-4-2-Box-Midfield-Project I think the way he plays it with DMs and CMs works better than the pushed up version you're attempting.

Uncle Sam's and this http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/278013-The-4222-Box-Blurring-the-Strata are 2 of my favourite threads ever on these forums, I rate both threads that highly. For info on the 4-2-2-2 you wont find any better elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
