Ive been using Otamendi and Marchena for a season and a half now in a 4-5-1 formation, first season i was leaking alot of goals but i put that down to my GK Moya whos stats are far from impressive. At the start of season 2 i bought Akinfeev and hoped i could start plugging that leaking defence but it just seems to have got worse. Otamendi was playing really badly so i decided to check this forum and many people suggested playing him as a limited defender/cover with a tall player whos got good heading/jumping as his defensive partner.
Now Verkhovtsev seems alright for the job and as i spent alot of my budget on Akinfeev and Dortmund want 25m for Subotic he is a good cheap option but im not sure if he would be up to it as people seem to recommend him for Championship/Mid to lower premiership standard.
I was also wondering what would be the best role for a towering defender along side Otamendi? And as Akinfeev is quite a top class goalkeeper should i use him as a sweeper keeper or keep him on standard? Im quite new to the game too so if anyone has any other suggestions for my Valencia team (tactics etc) it would be welcome.
