what do you think the best way to set up your defence is, like this:

I play a three centre backs, and barrow the centre-most one away from home. I'm playing with Arsenal too.

At home, all of the defenders are on the same mentality, 8 notches of closing down and little creative freedom. Away, the barrowed centre back is on loose zonal marking and 4 closing down, while the other two remain the same and on tight man marking.

Works pretty well with my Arsenal team. Touré, Gallas and Senderos are my main men, though I bought Curtis Davies to play the central role too and he's a beast.

I play 3-2-2-3 (two wingbacks rather than out-and-out side midfielders).

It seems to me that playing one centre back would be suicide without a DM. I'm not sure if it would work with sarrows inwards on the full backs.

But of course the problem with 3 centrebacks is the amount of space down the flanks unless you play with wingbacks (as mentioned above). I find that playing with outward sarrows on 2 CD's as similar problems to 1 CD and I have too much pride to put small barrows on my wingers.


How do people play 3-4-3. It would obviously score loads of goals.
