FIFA 16 Man Utd Career Mode Guide: 11 Things You Must Do
3. Play 4-2-2-2
Now, I've experimented with 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-2 but I didn't enjoy any of them. I assumed that my 4-3-3 formation would work well having Alexandre Lacazette up front and Juan Mata and Memphis Depay either side of him but it didn't work and I struggled to score goals. I switched to a 4-2-2-2 formation and it seemed to get the best results. I used Bastian Schweinsteiger and Felipe Anderson as my centre midfielder pairing and put Mata and Depay in front of them as attacking playmakers. I found that I needed two strikers to score goals with Man United and put Wayne Rooney and Lacazette up front. This system worked well and I finished third in my first season on world class and Rooney and Lacazette scored 40 goals between them.
