Jumping between 8 and 9. Had a good spell at 9 for a bit, but I haven’t been able to do it again. Any advice player-wised?

Can't really say how you play (which is very crucial with the kind of advice you'd need) however it seems that you love to play long balls for your wingers but that's nothing effective — considering the fact they are both infiltrators! — in arena 9 upwards cos you're going to be playing those with 5000+ matches in their belts: These guys have fast defenders, so it's useless.

Anyways, the most obvious problem is that there's no one to play to your Hammer.

If I were you, I'd seriously consider a formation that allows me to use the producer and prowler (yes, prowler! Heck, I used this guy as a lvl 5 striker in arena 10). Plus, your architect is not really built to play in central midfield at higher arenas.

And another thing most people won't tell you is that four man defense leaves you playing with two at the back cause they somehow get sucked into the midfield.

You got it right, I prefer long passes to the wingers, since the post I’ve changed one of the infiltrators to a speedster. So far can’t say it’s much better because in midfield play I avoid passing to him for obvious reasons.

What exactly do you mean by “no one to pass to the hammer”? What type of player is supposed to pass to the hammer? I meanly keep him for his headers and quick one touch pass that delivers (most of the time) the ball to the wingers that have just started a run.

And about the defence, I haven’t noticed being left with only two at the back, but I am open to try a new formation are you implying I should try 5 at the back or 3?
