domingo junio 23 - 03:12 I haven't had much success with formations with 3 forwards. What I found is that the final pass often comes from a forward, so you don't get the scoring bonus you would normally get from a midfielder making that final pass. But, this also weakens your midfield or defence by removing an extra player from that part of the field.
I must admit, I haven't tried it very often & only in friendlies or using analysis. But even against very weak teams, it did not have the desired effect and scores were much lower than I would have got loading up with 5 midfielders like I usually do against the weak teams.
Having said that, in a recent match someone did use 3 forwards against me, with reasonable success (they didn't win, but they did score a few goals). I probably need to go analyse that match a bit closer & see what sort of players they had & why it worked so well.
