I like to use a 3-1-4-2 formation with my team, Meerthyr Tydfil, in ECS. My question is about arrows. Firstly, am I best playing my left and right defenders as DCs, DCs, with sarrows out, DL and DR, or DL and DR with sarrows in?

Also, I have long farrows on my ML and MR, but would it make sense to have one MC with a farrow towards the centre, and the other MC with a sarrow to the centre, to allow for attacking options while keeping my midfield strong?

I hope this is understandable - didn't really know how else to explain it...

i can't answer your questions with any degree of certainty, but you can have a look at the tactic i came up with for my river plate squad at www.fmdownloads.net. it's named 3-1-4-2 ! in my experience, playing 3 defenders requires come level of campactness at the back, to ensure that your DC at the centre does not get ganked.

about your midfield, i'm afraid i lost you...
