What is the best formation for your team? | General tips Football Manager 2015 Guide

It's hard to answer that question. It all depends on what players do you have and what is your preferred play style. If you want a balanced formation, then the best choice would be 4-4-2. If you hope that your team will score many goals, then choose 4-3-3, 4-5-1 or 3-5-2. For defense, the best formation is 5-3-2 or 5-4-1 - having five defenders usually guarantee than your defense line is tight. It all depends on what rival do you stand against as well - if you're playing with one of the league top teams, then it would be a bad idea to go with an ultra offensive formation. It mostly depends on your intuition. You must remember that every setting can be customized in tactics menu.
