So begins the...4-3-3 experiment

[thenereus]

After considering all the variables, I came to the conclusion I am not going to win many games in my Div with 3-4-3, and since I can improve my defense as a bonus I though I would experimet with a 4-3-3 CA. And a further reason why I will be using it, is I will not win midfield against any team in my league (except maybe 1), so I will be running 2 IM's with 1 Wing to see how CA goes. I just thought I would post this so if anyone wants to know my results I can post them, but if no one wants to know how 4-3-3 is as a strategy I will just keep it to myself :D
And yes I already have all my forward traniees, so why not have some fun. :p

See all of you tonight in IRC.

I'm also working with the 4-3-3 now. I haven't had a chance to use it in a league game yet, but I got an 6-0 win with it in my first friendly. I play Gwinn United in a friendly tomorrow, and he's got a much better team than the Hong Kongese team I played last week so it should be a better test.

Hey, paks! I didn't see you had made it over here! I've ran a 4-3-3 CA before, but I didn't exactly like it.

I run 4-3-3 in friendlies. If I had a more rounded team it might be of some use, but for the meantime I have a 3-4-3 with an OK midfield and 1 good wing attack, so I am content....

with a good keeper and some good defenders, it is possible to put up damn good D and attack ratings, which can work for a CA team (athough, I love the theory of CA, it has never worked for me)

Well here is an update of my progress. I won my last friendly 1-0 with one CA goal and 1 missed chance, with 19% possession. On the other hand, I can't really comment on my league game as I was forced to PIC an away game due to team spirit, and will need to do it again this week. ughh. Hopefully I can give better updates as my TS reaches composed and my team's sorry form reaches a level of a real team that I remeber from long ago days passed.
