Quote: Bob-Marley "Im playing the '08 version but struggle to know what to mess with when it comes to tactics and what actually makes a difference. Any advice on what works well. I generally go for a solid back 4, lots of pace & flair in midfield and prolific strikers. usually 4-4-2, sometimes 4-3-3'"
You have to pick your team based on the individual attributes and their positions. That is for example, central defenders should have good positioning, heading, marking etc. The attribute number is dependant on which league you are in.
I created my own 41212 based on the above and I took Leeds from League 1 to European Champions in 6 years.
