Not sure if anyone else has found this, but almost every time I get a man sent off I drop back to the same formation and I almost always play the better game and very often come away with a result.
Not sure how to do snazzy screenshot type stuff so I'll write it out in basic

St St



MC MC

WB WB

DC DC DC

GK

Seems to be well ballanced and you hardly notice the missing man, although wingers/wingbacks need replacing after a while ass they do a lot of running like that!

when I am a man down, but need to play forward still, I play following with much success:

ST ST
AML AMR
MC
DL DC DC DR
GK

so basically I move one MC and leave the one that is more of the allround player, has great passing and long shots though.

If I am up I simply take a striker away, because with my attacking wingers there is still plenty of danger, no matter how many strikers.

Maybe the 11th guy should play as a sweeper / forward?

It depends very much on your opponent. If they come at you attacking this is a great solution:

Set individual mentality to defensive Gk1, DC2, DL/R3 etc etc. And set team mentality to attacking 14-17. Slow down tempo 2-4 and click "counterattack". All you need is a fast forward or two.

Only works if opponent plays offensive of course

Hope that your guy gets sent off against Derby; we suck against 10 men
