I dont have images to back up this thread, but i will in a future detailed reference.
This formation has worked wonders for me. Im A-League club Newcastle Jets in my second season. I came 1st in my first season, but lost the Grand Final. I won 16 and lost 9, so i still wasn't happy with the way my team was playing. I kept the same formation and strategy for the start of season two and i breezed through Pre-Season.
But, i was in for a huge shock. I made some transfers, bringing in two good Pacey strikers and one good Attacking midfielder. I stuck with the same formation, but little did i know, this would backfire. I lost my opening two games and drew the next two, one in which i led 1-0 and was a man up.
This is when i knew i had to change things around. So i switched to the tactic im about to show you now. The game following, i demolished my rivals away from home, the Central Coast Mariners 4-0. First goal came at a record setting 23 seconds and the second arriving 2 minutes later. This formation/strategy is working really well, as ive now gone on to win 6 of my last 7.

Try it out and let me know if your more successful. This is used more for away games, as it puts the opposition in a bit of a hole when they think they have you pinned down, but you counter and score. Make sure your DM, CAM and Strikers are quick and possess alot of pace!
