Formations

[derrycityfanatic]

I'm currently managing Liverpool but my question is, can you use the same formation for every game, or should you have a few formations, for different games ?


I'm currently playing 4-5-1 :/

Everyone has a favoured formation, but I work around my players.

Some games you'll have suspensions, injuries, and people low on fitness so you will find you need to change things sometimes.

It's good to have a bit of versatility.

Usually it's best to stick with the same formation as your team will know it and play it well.
Although say your playing a formation that has wingers, and your wingers are awful, I suggest you use a formation that suits your players. Although if say I'm playing a big team and in the pre-match advice it tells me the team struggles with teams who play x formation, if it's not too different to my formation I will use it for that game.

my 4-5-1 has 2 wingers + 2 centre midfielders & a DM midfielder behind them ! I like this formation even though it plays with 1 striker

was just curious to see if people changed formations to suit different games/teams !
