I would like some advice/opinions of what formation and tatctics you would use with the players that I currently have in my squad. I'm managing R. Madrid in 2009. I am playing a short passing game at a slowish tempo. The tempo is set to normal but dragged a bit to the slow side.

I usually set Gago not to make forward runs or run with ball and no through balls so that I keep possesion. I put R. Garcia's instructions on normal except for through balls which I set to Often. I set Ronaldo and Silva to make lots of forward runs and to run with ball. Then I set Ronaldo's crossing, through balls and long shots to rare so that he keeps running and dribbling into the box. But I'm not too sure of that. Becasue sometimes he dribbles into the box and scores beautiful goals and at
other times he dribbles to the byline then cuts into the box,then shoots from a narrow angle and misses. So I'm still not too sure about whether to make him cross or not. Any advice? And I'm not too sure how I should set my strikers instrucrinos because he doen't seem to get much of the ball. In fact my midfielders are scoring most of my goals at the moment.

-------------Casillas-----------
Alves---S.Ramos---Felipe---Chiellini
------------------------------------
--------R. Garcia---Gago------------
Ronaldo-------Sneijder--------Silva
Palacio(Higuain)

MC's: Gago, Raul Garcia, Diarra
AMC's: Sneijder, Guti
FC: Palacio, Higuain, van Nistelrooy, Raul and Cassano

I am not sure whether I should alter my formation so that I have 2 strikers. But then I would have to lose my AMC probably otherwise my formation would be too offensive and probabky concede more goals. I want to buy kaka so he would definately play as an AMC. But if I choose to play 2 strikers I would probably buy a better striker cos Cassano is not that good and Raul and RVN are getting old.

What would you do if you had this squad?

Thx
