Default Defence. Rotation?

Do you guys pick the same back 4 every week or use a rotation policy?

Are there any advantages on the game to picking the same back 4 every week?

I rotate full backs quite often but I try to stick to the same 2 DC's and play them together as much as possible. I tend to try and keep the "centre" of the team the same every week and just change the full backs, wingers, maybe one out of 2 strikers.

I tend to keep the same back four unless they conceded the week before or I spot a weakness in my/the oppositions team. If I was in europe I'd probably rotate more though.

i agree with ibrahim,

it depends on how many competitions you are in, and whether you have enough/sufficient games to satisfy players needs,

i don't rotate much. but then i'm liverpool and we lack quality denfeders.

i'm not a hugh fan of arbeloa so prefer auerelio at left back. that just really leaves finnan at right and since i'm not too keen on playing hyypia either just agger and carragher at CB. i'm hoping to get garay though.

Interesting stuff.

I've started trying to keep the same defence if we keep a clean sheet in the match before. Working fairly well for me so far.

Are there any benefits in the game of keeping with the same defence?

I find rotating CBs to be almost always disastrous. I do sometimes rotate my FBs tactically for either a more attacking or defensive element.

Generally try not to change a back four at all if they've kept a clean sheet.

Obviously. They get to know each others game, they get to know how the other works and what their individual roles are within the team!

Well, I play with a back 3 and have have 5 center backs in the squad which I rotate as much as possible. Unless someone has been on a good run of form or has better morale than the others.

I also avoid rotating the DCs whenever possible.
