a few things i picked up from LLM...look for physical stats rather than technical...keep formations simple (id say 442)...have a centre half, def mid and striker on the bench...dont get ur players running around too much (lower league players wont be fit enough stamina wise)...play with a target man with strength, finishing and heading (just keep pinging crosses into the box)....these tips i got from someone else on here, so im not taking the credit for them...they have been really useful to me tho

personally i play 442, defenders all defending (centre halves both limited defenders, tho i have a faster one covering (basically they just kick and head away danger))...2 centre mids, one def minded and the other support, then two defensive wingers who support (who luckily are pacy and half decent crossers, but tuck in when needed)...strikers, are a target man and poacher...i use OI's, but thats up to you,...i play with and attacking mentality to start with and i use the shouts, clear the ball to flanks or exploit flanks, both home and away, and away, i use play narrower (or if against a top team, at home too)....hope this might be of help to you...good luck with Vale.
