Walker wouldn't work in a back three.

Another issue with playing a back three is who plays on the right. Kaboul and Dawson will be in the middle, Vertonghen on the left (and Gallas can play there), but on the right we can play Caulker...but after that, Corluka is slow and King risks being exposed - and that's if either of them are at the club next season. Livermore dropping back?

Exactly, Walker wouldn't work. But surely he can't be dropped! He was one of our best players last year.

But to play Walker and Bale as wing backs, we have to drop Lennon and Benny.

True, if we're cruising and want to shut up shop we can revert to 4-4-2 by replacing Parker/Sandro with Lennon/Benny whilst still maintaining plenty of attacking threat, but it becomes a juggling act keeping them all happy, motivated, and match ready.

Wing backs at home, wingers away?
 
it is getting to that time of the summer now where i will have to stop acting silly and start talking tactics it seems.

might be a bit premature mate. you're going to be short of tactical options bearing in mind we only have Defoe up front.
 
Well, obviously. Who'd change that?

Well, as a kid i "invented" an awesome new formation on championship manager. It consisted of playing 4 wingers, 2 centre forwards and a flat back 4 (obviously with the fullbacks bombing forwards).
We scored a LOT of goals that season.

I came back to championship manager a few years later when they had introduced the little 2D match thing with the dots for players. Very exciting, but my formation no longer worked. Other teams would just march through the middle unmarked. Ledley King actually got very unhappy, and from "watching" the matches i can't say i blamed him.

If it helps it went cack. The original brothers that made it got bought out by some huge games company (EA? Eidos? I think Eidos were the originals, anyway) and it became ****e. The bros then started up another one with a similar name which i won't reveal to you just in case you can't resist :)
 
Back when PES was any good, I tended to play a 3-2-3-2 formation - in reality it would never work, as wingers tended to be wing backs (and 2/3 of the way up the pitch), but it meant there were five different players likely to score, and five players who could play the killer ball.

Then again, in fantasy football I keep making the mistake of picking centre backs - full backs get the points, dammit!

well the last one i thought was very good was the 2000/01 season CM....it was awsome..Neil Fenn scored a hatful for me and Denilson(Real Betis) cost peanuts(snapped up for 6 million) at the begining of the first season....mammaries!

i used to enjoy scouting for talent.....Razaq Pingpong and Kennedy Bakircioglu were gems...<diva>
 
Once i had secured the league my self appointed task used to be to get every member of my squad to score a goal. Including goalkeepers. Then once i managed that i made sure i always had a player that was "all 1s" to make it harder.
I got a bit annoyed when the game evolved and my chairman told me i couldn't buy an "all 1s" because he wasn't of the required quality. I wasn't even managing Chelsea FFS!

I had a player (all 1s) from singapore that had a name that was very similar to "hairy soup". H'ary S'up or some ****. I loved that little bugger.
 
I still have CM 97/98. I wonder if my current computer will have enough memory and be fast enough to run it?

when that game came out, it might as well have had a "purchasing this game? you might as well buy a PC whilst you're at it" sticker on the box.
 
Vorm
Caulker Kaboul Vertonghen
Walker-----------------------Bale
Modric Parker
VDV
Adebayor Yilmaz​

I could see that midfield getting run over. Parker is good on the ball, but he's not a solid DM. You need a bone breaker in there to break up enemy attacks.

I still remember his debut against man utd atd away in the cup, he was upfront with rory allen and i was sat there thinking "what a class young player" needless to say he was never seen again!
