Choose the best formation based on your players. Set it so your best players can play in each game. For example, consider the 4-1-3-2 formation to allow you to switch from passing on the flanks to the middle, depending on the situation. Also, reduce the Game Speed to 1 when changing tactics or making substitutions to avoid losing too much time. To focus on your strikers, use a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 formation. If you have greater quality players at the back, consider the 5-3-2 or 5-4-1 formations. You can also create custom formation to supplement the default varieties. Do this by tapping the "Edit Team" tab to drag and drop your players on the field as desired. Try moving all your players slightly forward regardless of formation because offensive tactics tend to work better.
