For a bunch of seasons it a 4-4-2 but that went to hell so I moved to a 4-2-4, I can't remember where I got the formation but it was on the SI forum. Shaq Coulthirst scored buckets for me on the climb up the leagues, in a 4 season stretch he went 36, 29, 29, 28. *EDIT* forgot to say he didn't win Fans Player of the Year any of those seasons.
*EDIT 2* Don't want to double post but I think I just had my first suspension overturned in all my time playing the series. Couldn't have been better timed either as I would have faced the second leg of the Europa League Semifinal without my captain and most experienced centerback.
