Aston Villa Season 1 starting tactics, Home and Away

[LoveDon]

Hey guys,

Was just in need of a little help as its been a slow start to the season for my Villa boys. I am looking for a decent formation for both home and away, could anyone help me out knowing what players they have etc ?

Thanks in advance

These are just what I'd play if I played as Villa, not sure if it'll work on FM though. Both formations are counter-attacking and based on lightening attacks from the wingers/forwards after through-balls from the deep-lying midfielders.

Home:
Guzan
Bacuna (retrained?) - Okore/Clark - Vlaar - Luna
Sylla/Lowton
N'Zogbia/Albrighton - Weimann - Agbonlahor
Benteke - Koz?k/Helenius

Away:
Guzan
Lowton - Okore - Vlaar - Luna
Sylla
El Ahmadi - Westwood
Weimann - Agbonlahor
Benteke

The first one does look a bit unbalanced, so I'd use that against weaker teams (and at home against average teams too) - it's attacking threat should mean that you score as many as you concede (which will probably be a lot). This is just the basic outline, so if you want any more help, then feel free to PM me!
