YOUR SQUAD
Assistant Manager: “We’ve been busy in the transfer market this week and secured two new signings – Lucas Digne and Romelu Lukaku!
And with more time to work with our squad we’re now able to play a new formation – the attacking 4-3-3!
NEW FORMATION
Assistant Manager: “The attacking 4-3-3 is similar to the Classic 4-3-3 from last week, it has just one tweak.
You will designate one of your forwards as the main Striker – he’ll get +2 points for a goal compared to other forwards – that can make him very powerful. However, he will also get -1 for missing a big chance he probably should have scored. So pick your most clinical finisher! Lukaku or Benzema would seem well suited for this role.”
Note: As you progress through the game, you’ll be able to experiment with a number of formations and player roles and really find one that suits your personality! However, you can also stick to the standard simple formations if you want – there is not necessarily an advantage to playing an advanced formation – unless you think you can find one.
This game is intended to have give realistic scores that make sense to fans who watch the match.
So rather than worrying too much about fantasy points, you can go ahead and just pick the players you think are best in reality – primarily thinking about who is going to win the game, score goals and assist. Defensive players benefit strongly from keeping clean sheets too.
In addition to those basics, the game will give players a natural bonus for good performance in their individual role.
