This is my new formation of choice. I recommend its use in conjunction with hard tackling, and atttacking attidude and pacey wide players. Using this fomation has several advantages. Firstly due to a higher presence in the middle of the park you win more of the ball and can feed play through the attacking midfielder to the forwards. One of the best things about this formation however is it eliminates the need to buy or keep full backs. This means firstly you can sell those players to raise funds and secondly you have increased funds to invest in better players on the rest of he park.
Using two defensive midfielders in the centre seems to give more strength to the team and cover the defence. (in my first season as chelsea i only conceded 16 premiership goals). It is also an additional bonus if these DM's have good long shots (Anderson Polga is my recomendation) As they can reap the rewards from midfield. I have Aquired Kleberson and matthew Taylor to be my wide payers and they have been putting a good supply into my strikers.
I find this formation to be the best for making sure you don't conceed many whilst at the same time having a constant attacking threat.
