Last update:11 May 2016
The formation isn’t the most important thing necessary for luck (i.e.
to achieve success).
The culture of playing requires it from us a little bit.
Experience and the review of the field is the key here.
We will obtain interesting effects even playing with the 3-2-5 system.
Team work
Let’s back to Team work attribute.
I will base the example on the 4-4-2 formation.
If I choose the other one it will be marked.
Team work is often mistaken with Positioning and Playmaking although they are based on similar principles.
And one more: notice that it doesn’t have to be quite necessary to gain success.
It is obvious thing.
You don’t have to be anxious about centers then, since there are yet wing halfback.
After all we are defending the goal rather than wings, thickening the field only will help us.
If our player gets the red card his place won’t be replaced with somebody else in the formation.
We have to do it manually.
Players' form
Word about the form.
It is presented in the form of arrows.
The more upwards the better.
It’s contrary with arrows down.
The player with the weak form is shooting poorly penalties and is losing fast his stamina.
For the red arrow values are changing from 6 to 12 units of the attribute.
For gray from 6 to 12.
Near the yellow cross (light minor injury) the value will fall down from 18 for 32.
This strange hexagon is able to help us within comparisons.
We can see the dissimilarities also on the attributes screen.
We are making substitutions with X.
On this screen we are able also to see cooperation of players with the Team Work attribute.

Pressing once we will see attribute values referring to players of the same team.
Pressing the second time we will see lines with colors corresponding to values of cooperation.
It is possible to see players also from the substitute’s bench.

Team

It is about zones, I was writing about at the beginning.
Line defense - players are trying to line of defense always being complete, Mark prefs aren’t working.
Team strategy
Back Line - the line of defense will go out far away to the front.
Zone Press - a few players will be using pressing.
Offside Trap - the defense will take a stab at offside.
But - means that tactics will be executed aggressively but condition will be falling fast.
B - means that tactics will be executed restrainedly.
C - means that tactics will be executed without bigger amounts of strength.
