Spent most of my day (at work) reading through this thread which is very impressive and trying to implement a solid and good goalscoring formation for my Man Utd team.

I have been trying for the last 2 years (fm06-fm08) to recreate a solid 4-2-3-1 formation but like most have found this to be difficult. having read this thread i have spent a lot of day trying to create this as i feel i certainly have enough quality in my squad to achieve this (end of 3rd season). I have set up my individual players mentalities to how i would like to see them perform but am interested to hear how you have set up your team instructions. i am interested to know how you change these game on game and what factors you use to determine how you will play against a good side or a weaker side.

Well the things I change are tempo and defensive line and width.

As you are Man utd I would imagine you would be able to have a high defensiv line aswell as wide width and slow-normal tempo.

Good Luck

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.
