Im having a bit of trouble getting the most out of my players at the moment i used JP WOODY V3.1 (3-1-2-1-3) formation in previous saves and had a alot of success with it. I've started a new save now with Arsenal and bought a few players in (Montolivo, Annan, Zapata, Adler) the main ones. My starting eleven is usually this (depending on wether i use 3 or 4 defenders)
GK - Adler
LB - Clichy/Coentrao
CB - Vermalen
CB - Zapata
RB - Sagna/Srna
DM - Song/Kehl/Senna
CM - Montolivo/Annan (Box To Box)
CM - Fabregas
LM - Nasri
RM - Arshavin/Walcot
ST - Van Persie/Chamakh/Vela
Any suggestions on Roles/Dutys or a tactic which would suit these players will be much appreciated.
Cheers.
Gael Clichy - full back - automatic
Fábio Coentrão - wing back - automatic
Christian Zapata - CB - Cover
Thomas Vermaelen - Ball playing defender - stopper
Bakary Sagna - full back - automatic
Darjo Srna - wing back - automatic
Song - DMC - Anchor Man
Anthony Annan - MC - Ball wining midfielder - defend, because he doesnt have such great technique
Marcos Senna - DMC - defensive midfielder - support
Cesc fabregas - MC - Advanced Playmaker(best role, but hecan also do Box to Box midfielder) - attack
Nasri - AML - Advanced Playmaker - support
Arshavin - AML - Inside Foward - attack
Walcott - AMR - Inside foward - attack
Van Persie - deep Lying Foward
Vela - trequartista
Chamack - target man attack
Montolivo - AMC - Advanced playmaker or Trequartista
This is my point of view mate
