Surviving is winning Franklyn
Everything else is bullshit
Please stop playing formations like this!!! Don't you get tired of playing in the center, every single phase.
This is not football.
It's not even supposed to work in-game, but the game for some reason favours center formations like this.
It's all pass, pass, through pass = Goal.
You'd have sharp wingers with acceleration Burst and momentum dribbling and instead of playing them wide you'd train them as a CF or SS. Play them in their natural position.
Play the game to enjoy, not just to win. It's not necessary
