It's not as attacking as I usually play, and has helped me to stop leaking goals without having to change to a defensive formation. Was able to control most games in midfield and just wait for the right pass.

I was losing high scoring games fairly often previously but this has tightened me up and I now tend to draw games more often. The only thing that catches me out with it a bit is I often find myself comfortable in moving up the field but come unstuck on the edge of the box surrounded by defenders. Someone like Neal is brilliant at using a skill move to create a bit of space in that situation but I'm an average player and struggle to do the same. Often times with this formation it's just about recycling the ball, being patient and awaiting the right pass to become available, but I feel if I was a little better at using skill moves I'd be flying. For now I'm thrilled with the improvement though.

I just don’t see their logic at all?
