THIS IS MY COSTUME FORMATION I USE IN FIFA 11. I FIND THIS FORMATION VERY EFFECTIVE BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT IN ORDER TO USE THIS FORMATION YOU WOULD NEED A VERY STRONG CF.

YOU CAN SAY THIS IS LIKE BARCA'S REAL FORMATION.
THE GOALKEEPER ACTS LIKE A SWEEPER KEEPER.
THE FULLBACKS TRANSITION FROM DEFENSE TO MIDFIELD TO PROVIDE SUPPORT. THE CENTER-BACKS HAVE TO BE VERY SKILLED. ONE USUALLY ACTS AS THE STOPPER AND THE OTHER AS A SWEEPER.
THE DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD (PREFERABLY A BOX-TO-BOX PLAYER) THAT CAN DEFEND, CUT OFF COUNTERS AND MAINTAIN POSSESSION, AS WELL AS SUPPORT THE MIDFIELD TO ATTACK WHEN POSSIBLE.
THE TWO CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS ACT MORE AS ADVANCE MIDFIELDERS THAT TEND TO PRODUCE PLAYS FROM DEEP AND SUPPORT THE ATTACK MORE OFTEN.
THEN YOU HAVE YOUR CENTER FORWARD THAT PLAYS LIKE A TREQUARTISTA OR ADVANCE ATTACKING MIDFIELDER.
THE TWO WINGERS WOULD ACT MORE LIKE THE STRIKERS OF THE TEAM. THE ARE TO PLAY WIDE AND CUT IN AS INSIDE FORWARDS.

THIS FORMATION DEMANDS A LOT ON THE CENTER FORWARD. HE HAS TO CONTROL THE BALL WHEN PASSING AND ALSO BE ABLE TO LINK THE MIDFIELD TO ATTACK AND BE ABLE TO ATTACK HIMSELF.
THE WINGERS WOULD LOOK TO SUPPORT THE MIDFIELD OUT WIDE AND THEN LOOK FOR RUNS TOWARDS THE MIDDLE IN SIDE THE PENALTY BOX AS STRIKERS.
IT A VERY ATTACKING FORMATION AS THE FULLBACKS COULD ALSO COME UP TO THE MIDFIELD AND CREATE ATTACKS OUT WIDE.
THIS FORMATION CREATES MANY DIFFERENT TRANSFORMATION. WHEN ATTACKING IT CAN BECOME A 2-5-1-2 OR WHEN DEFENDING A 5-4-1.

I USE THESE PLAYERS AS AN EXAMPLE OF MY DREAM TEAM. I BELIEVE THESE PLAYERS TO BE THE BEST IN THOSE POSITION IN THIS DECADE.

CASILLAS IS JUST A BEAST. THIS GUY IS UNBELIEVABLE WHEN IT COMES TO AMAZING SAVES. GRANTED HE GETS DUMPED BY BARCA BUT COME ON ITS BARCELONA WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. 'NOUGH SAID.
MANY PEOPLE TAKE ABIDAL FOR GRANTED. I ALSO BELIEVE HE IS A VERY UNDERRATED PLAYER. THIS GUY IS JUST AMAZING WHEN UNDER PRESSURE INSIDE OR OUT OF THE PENALTY BOX. HE HAS THE BALL CONTROL TO GET OUT OF ANY TIGHT CORNER AND THE DEFENSIVE SKILL OF A PUYOL.
DAVID LUIZ IS JUST A BOSS WITH THE BALL. THE DUDE COULD DISABLE ANY THREATENING ATTACK AND MOVE WITH THE BALL LIKE A BECKENBAUER AND ATTACK TO FINISH WITH HIS BEASTY LEFT FOOT.
O'MONSTRO SILVA! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? THIS GUY COULD HAVE ANY STRIKER ON SHUT DOWN AND IS FAST AND SMART TO PLAY AS SWEEPER TO PREVENT ANY ONE FROM SCORING.
LAHM JUST REMINDS ME OF CAFU. THE ENDLESS RUNS DOWN THE FLANKS ONLY TO CUT IN AND SCORE. MAYBE NOT AS PROLIFIC AS MAICON BUT HE HAS THE DEFENSIVE SKILL TO BUMP MAICON OUT OF THIS SPOT.
XAVI IS THE MASTER ON ONE TOUCH AND POSSESSION. GRANTED DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD MIGHT NOT BE HIS PREFERENCE CHOICE BUT HE HAS THE CHARACTERISTICS TO DO SO. MAINTAIN POSSESSION AND DOMINATE THE TEMPO OF THE GAME SINGLE-HANDEDLY.
HE DIDN'T HAVE THE BEST SEASON WITH ARSENAL BUT IS A MONSTER IN BARCELONA. CESC SHOWS THE WORLD WHY HE IS TRULY A WORLD CLASS PLAYER. LIKE XAVI HE HAS WHAT IT TAKE TO SUPPORT THE ATTACK WITH HIS ONE TOUCH AND VISIONS TO GIVE THOSE DAGGERS BALLS TO HIS TEAMMATE AND ASSIST FOR GOALS.
LIKE WISE OZIL. HIS VISION AND DEAD ACCURACY IS WHAT KEEPS REAL MADRID ALIVE. MAYBE NOT AS CONSISTENT BUT WHEN HE GETS HIS RYTHEM HE IS TRULY IN THE LIKE OF XAVI AND CESC.
WITH THOSE IN THE CENTER MIDFIELD THEY ARE SURE TO STARVE ANY TEAM OF POSSESSION.
THE BEST IN THE WORLD MESSI. OF COURSE THIS GUY COULD PLAY ANY WHERE ON THE MID AND UP BUT FOR OLD TIME SAKE I PLACED HIM WHERE HE BEGAN HIS LEGACY. BEING LEFTY GIVES HIM THE ADVANTAGE TO CUT IN TO PASS OR TAKE A SHOT AT GOAL.
LIKE WISE RONALDO HAS THE SAME POTENTIAL (EVEN THOUGH HE TENDS TO SHOT MANY UNNECESSARY SHOTS). HIS RECORD BREAKING 53 GOALS IN ONE SEASON MAKE HIS START AS ON OF THE BEST LEFT WINGS.
WITH THESE TWO DEADLY, SPEEDY, AND SKILL FULL MAGICIAN TO SUPPORT FROM WIDE TO INFILTRATE THE MIDDLE AND TRANSITION AS STRIKERS MAKE THEM A PAIR TO RECON WITH.
SNIEDER IS A TREAT FROM ANY ANGLE AND HIS INCREDIBLE VISION, PIN POINT ACCURACY, AND SKILLS TO DISSEMBLE ANY DEFENSE BUT HIM AT THE LEGENDARY ROLE OF A TREQUARTISTA.
OF COURSE MESSI WOULD BE BETTER IN THAT ROLE BUT THESE ARE THE BEST IX THAT PLAY THE GAME TO DATE.
