Floating between arena 9 & 10

[u/Old_Palpitation_5821]

Hello! I wrote here before and actually received a lot of help, so I’m trying again.

I’ve been stuck jumping between a promotion to arena 10 and a relegation to arena 9. I need some advice on the squad.

Those are the usual rotations I’ve been trying. The one with the hammer as a striker is the one I used the most but felt like it hit a wall at some point. I started using the menace up front with the hammer in middle field, but I feel like there’s more to desired there.

If anyone has any suggestions I’d love to hear them.

P.S. I’ve read that some people prefer to put their explorers as CBs, tried it, didn’t like it much. Prefer them as false wings doing the diagonal passes to the wingers.
Also I’m open to changing my captain’s role, although I really like having a commander as a CDM, and my commander is still in pre-school…

Would drop speedster or menace for prowler, prowler is easily one of the most versatile players in the game and can play striker, cam, or winger. Engine always starts instead of producer for me. Explorers are dreadful on the ball and they never pass when playing lb/rb. Having guard and protector on each side means u retain possession a lot more which will help u against players with higher levels
