Damocles: What full backs do you play that are good? And do you have any suggestions?
Plus the MC's that run to the side of the AMC are the runs diagonal to the wings or straight up?
The runs are straight up. I have Djaminha (Left) and Berkovic (Right) there. The key to the whole formation is buying players who fill two roles. For example, it's best if you buy AM/FRC and AM/FLC for those midfield roles, with a strong DMC in the centre. Tiatto plays very well on the left at first though, so don't worry about it straight away. Whitley is excellent in the first season at the middle MC role.
Full back wise, first season I had to make do with Haaland and Pearce. Currently though, I'm playing Dorsin on the left and Colismo on the right.
The key again is having D/DM R instead of just DR.
The best two on the game full back wise are Cafu and Lizarazu, with Dede also being an excellent DL. Julio Arca does well there too. It is a problem position in the first season and getting it right is the difference between first and sixth, it relies on quality players.
You might find yourself having some dodgy away days with this formation, if so switch to a flat 4-4-2 when away from home, to cover the width.
Oh, and as a general rule, play the fittest team physically (and morale wise) that you can. Always praise players, unless they are talking about replacement signings, then admit you strengthen. Sell any unhappy players straight away. Always discipline players who get sent off, but don't go mad with it.
