Usually playing as a B2B or RP, and with the 'shoot less often' PI just to tone him down a bit. Deadly from free kicks, too. He was injured for a few months, he's come back and has bagged 4 goals in 2 games. Been playing him as a Treq due to other injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavinwwe Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hi guys, i was wondering if anyone has got a 4231 wide working with inside forwards and a control or counter mentality and willing to share? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something I've managed this year. It looks like the way to go, because the top teams in the Prem in game seem to prefer it (Arsenal, Spurs, and Liverpool - among others - have done very well playing 4231) and score loads while being pretty solid at the back. Whenever I've tried, it goes the other way - can't score and concede a boatload. I've had the most success with a 4123wide, followed by the 4312, and 4132. The 4123 is a natural at United because you have all the positions covered, both starters and backups. The narrow formations are harder because you start with too many wide players and it's hard to fit them all in. But if you take the time to read the thread you'll find several people have done well with 4231 so it's not impossible. I just haven't been able to make it work.

Fair play though if you get it to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play though if you get it to work. My Dlp (D) effectively sits in front of the back 4 in line with my Wb (S) and the high press up top helps. I aim to have quick players in the forward positions and stack my squad with youth. I'm in season 20/21 and my first 11 has Ander Herrara as the oldest player at 31, and I have 6 players 25 or under. (I try to stay true to the old Man Utd way of bringing through youth players.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the transfer window in my second season, and Madrid have offered £70 up-front for Mkhitaryan. He had an okay first season, and I was hoping for more from him in the second, but this amount of money is seriously tempting! If I let him go though, I'd need a replacement, as my other attackers (not including strikers) are: Mata Lingard Rashford (though he's better as CF) Martial (struggling for form since the start of the game) Pereira Januzaj (on the transfer list) Any suggestions on a replacement (or anyone think I should just reject the offer)? I've got £130m to spend - have already tried (and failed) for Griezmann, Dybala. One player who might be available for £30m is Willian from Chelsea, who is unsettled at the moment... Lol bought griezmann for 46m . you should get dybala for about 63m in first season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
