I don't mean to say that there's no value in switching your formation according to your opponent but that the effect is pretty much +-0 in the long run. However as WJ said, keeping the same formation yet tweaking the roles, instructions, etc seems to carry a way smaller ''performance penalty''...

There are ways to get your 10 more involved, but I'd say it's extremely difficult to have him pass/touch the ball the most. The only way I could imagine that happening is having your team bypass the back six pretty much altogether, but I get the feeling that it's not how you wish your team to...

Though there's defnitely formations that tend to do well against others I wouldn't go ahead with this idea. That's simply due to the fact that the game punishses you for switching things around- especially so when it comes to formations- and rewards you for sticking with the same XI+formation.

I'd go as far as to say that there's no such thing really, Fergie was about having his best players on the pitch producing good performances whilst retaining balance- the shape was secondary to that throughout his ManU career, kind of the anti-Benitez thesis. You could perhaps extract some...

I've started with Leeds as well and I'd go with one of the wingerles formations, the squad would need A LOT of work for you to play with wide players. I play with a 4-3-1-2 at home (switching to diamond or 4-1-3-2 when trying to preserve a lead) and a 3-4-2-1 (3-4-3DM Fm tells me...) away...

Just a quick question, is it possible to apply the update without the CA/PA changes?

I'd switch between 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-2 depending on the opposition & current flow of the match as teams do in ''real football''. 4-4-2 defending with two, deep banks of four and having the front two looking for quick breaks- other one of the two retaining the striker role he has in your primary...

^^ I can't say I'm too surprised. There's definitely something strange going on with the game regarding the sudden resource hogging, but SI aren't willing to admit it.

^^ Let me know how that goes!

Okay so I asked around about the RAM usage. The over 3GB is within normal limits if you're very late in your save, as in your 9th season or so, but people in and around their 3rd season (as I am) the usage varies from around 1,6GB to 1,8GB- mines about double that. I searched the internet and...

^^ Unfortunately not. I deleted the app data, tried stripping down my subscriptions and shortlists etc., yet there's no change in the RAM usage. I'll ask around what kind of usage other people late in their save are experiencing, and whether that above 3GB is to be expected or is it abnormal...

^^ Yeah, there's obviously a point when it becomes unplayable, but it should get gradually slower nonetheless. Just like on an older PC you run, let's say, Firefox browser. The more tabs you use/open, the slower it gets. It's not as if it works like a dream up to 5 tabs, and come the 6th-> not...

That'd make sense in case the game got slower gradually, but at least for me, it was like a brick wall.

Ok, so I tested my other saved games and they're running at 900k to 1gb RAM, even the same save from a week back or so (autosave). It's amazing how the RAM usage just suddenly more than tripled with this one.

I have the same problem and google tells me that it's not uncommon. Sudden resource hogging at some point, and the resulting game speed varies from slow to unplayable. I checked the task manager when it got slow, and all of a sudden FM is hogging over 3GB of RAM!!! I closed it via task manager...
