Seeing Red

This may be a coincidence but I think I have found a tactic that gets a player from the opposition sent off.

Still persevering with the 5-3-2 Attacking I was conceding quite a few goals. To try and stop this I placed two defensive midfielders (Folly & Denilson) in the centre allowing my Attacking Midfielder (Toro) and various strikers to mount their attack, supported by the wing backs.

For the first half of the season, 75% of my games ended with a player being sent off! I had to stop as the formation and changing form meant that I was only ever scoring one goal a game so had to sacrifice a bit of stability for attacking flair (on came Andrew Potter now valued at £30m plus).

  • Are you sure about this?

  • Thanks for the feedback. I have found it quite hard to recreate the same conditions through injury and my forwards simply not being good enough to play in front of such a protective base with less support.

    Only preseason though so will keep you updated!
