FIFA 16 Sunderland Career Mode Guide: 11 Things You Must Do

5. Formation

Your formation is all down to personal taste, and over time you'll be most successful working out what your own strongest attributes are, but as Sunderland's squad stands, you'd be best suited to a 4-2-3-1 formation. Lee Cattermole (77) and Yann M'Vila (78) are two rocks in the midfield. With that partnership in the middle of the field in the 4-2-3-1, you open up a whole range of options for going forward. Defoe should be your main man up top. Then there's a choice of Lens, Borini and Johnson to fill either flank, leaving a hole in the middle to fill with quality.
