Your full backs are a bit slow. Get some quicker ones

It looks a good team at this stage of the game.

Haha yeah I set myself up for that one

Midfield looks a bit lightweight IMO - both 5'9 and lack some strength but you would be able to get away with it.

Anyone you would suggest as an alternative? Maybe KDB and marchisio or something like that?

How do your wingers work in 4-4-1-1? involved in getting in the box & scoring or just pump into box/ dribble down line and pass in?

LFC798

Ikone tends to get down the line but at the moment I’m using Saka at lm who cuts inside

LFC798

Rb sissoko and rttk lemar would both be on 2 chem if I put them in at cm

ICUP

I use the 4-4-1-1 aswell, I have to High attacking Fullbacks which is good but also get caught on the counter even with stay back whilst attacking on.

Your midfield is way better than mine and would rather swap mine for yours & my CAM is the one that scores the majority of the goals so had to put Zola there with Keane up front

Ah fair enough, what squad are you using and how’s Zola?

ICUP

Was meant to be running an untradeable RTG but I had to cheat for the chemistry and bought Marquinos.

GK - Donnaruma
LB - Manafa
RB - Cafu
LCB - Kimpembe
RCB - Marquinos (Cheated with my untradeable rtg)
RCM - Joao Mario
LCM - Sanora
LM - Nuno Santos
RM - Faivre
CF - Zola
ST - Keane

The two CM's are horrible for what I use them for but only players I can use at the moment until an affordable SBC comes out or I get lucky with an untradeable pack

I have Nuno Santos on GIB & Faivre on come back on defence & stay wide.

If all fails I switch to a 4-3-3 (5) with overlapping full backs

LFC798

That’s cool, really like that. How’s Cafu? Bet he’s good fun to use, loved watching him play when I was younger

He's actually alright & has saved my bacon alot in defence, wouldn't recommend as a purchase for his price but if you have him then why not

LFC798

Yeah makes sense, cheers mate. Good luck!

Zambo over bennacur

I'm also trying to get the 4-4-1-1 to work but find that the striker sometimes gets isolated. Atm I have

GK - Maignan
RB - TAA
CB - Heroes Cordoba
CB - VVD
LB - Gosens RTTK

LM - Baby Barnes
CM - RTTK Bennacur
CM - Mid Essien
RM - RTTK Ikone

CF/CAM - OTW Dybala
ST - DD Arnautovic

Got v lucky packing VVD and Mid Essien and also with Barnes and Cordoba from the icon packs. I think it will work, just need to get good

LFC798

How’s Barney and essien?

jay_v83

Barnes is ok, a little clunky but fairly clinical. I think once I get a better option on the left he'll move to the centre. Atm it is him of gold Leao. Also as he's English Trent gets full chem with a PL manager (and as they're dutch it will cover VVD too)

Mid Essien has easily booked his spot in my team for a good while, always seems to be in the right place and tackling is pretty solid. Distribution a little iffy but that's not really his job.
