I like this formation, and I know in practice it isn't like this, but it feels as if you are going to have 4 players playing in the same theoretical line down the middle.

 

Obviously, in aforementioned practice, they will be pulling off on the wings and what-have-you but poorer players will probably be too rigid.

[madras]

depends on the personnel, however any formation requires loads of movement to be succesful.

I play 3-1-3-1-2 on Fifa and love it.  Realistically it's not going to work though, especially with the growing love of a single striker up top, having three guys cover one person is a waste.

 

It kind of looks like this:

 

                          X

Can't stand not having 2 wingers and 2 strikers, and have yet to see anything other than 4 at the back look comfortable. Plus overlapping fullbacks are fun on the attack.

 

So 4-4-2 really.
