After playing most of the season with a 4-1-2-2-1 formation, injuries to key players caused me to shift to a 4-4-1-1. The results improved and the team started to score more and concede less. Here are some screenshots

I planed on playing my two best strikers on together (Rhodes and Eduardo), but due to injuries early on and an eventual 6 month injury Eduardo wasn't an option any more. So I changed from a 442 to a 4-1-2-2-1. Which started out well but eventually we became predictable. So I came up with this 4-4-1-1 formation. Due to injuries to several players, my only real attacking midfield option was Dunn, so I played him in the hole as the Enganche. He played of Rhodes, who started as a Target man but later changed to a Advanced Forward. I'm not a fan of poachers, so even if his stats suited that role more I decided to play him in a role that would put his work rate to good use. He finished the season with 42 goals in the league.
Even when Rhodes got injured the goals didnt dry up. I switched back to my old 4-1-2-2-1 formation but used a false 9 instead of the target man role i usually used. I play either Rochina or Judge in that role, usually judge though because of Rochina's dip in form.

(sorry for about the screen shots, they are taken after i got promoted so some players are different. As the young players I used last season are out on loan)
