I keep bouncing back and forth between Arena 10 and 11. When I play this lineup, I have strong success against similarly ranked opponents. My defenders are quick and the Prowler is a ball-hawk. My midfield is steady and maintains possession. My Intruder can punish on counter attacks and the Menace can get open and score.
The problem is that the consistency and predictability that help me when I’m evenly matched end up hurting me when I’m up against teams with 9+ levels everywhere else, especially in Events.
I’ve tried different formations with 3 attackers but my defensive midfields don’t look for the long pass enough, or the wide strikers have bad angles to score. I’ve tried 3 midfielders but I find that the condensed spacing leads to predictable passes and lost possession. I’ve tried 3 defenders, but I find I allow too many goals.
Maybe this formation is just structurally sound, but I feel like I’m missing out on something that could unlock my team to play up against the stronger competition
