3 - 4 - 3?

Is this a bad formation choice? Will I be able to get anywhere with it? Also, could you give me some suggestions on what to do with this formation. Thanks

Depends on what Div you are in. Just make sure that you have 3 IM's.

Div V.66 (The Cornheads) How long could I survive with this 3 - 4 - 3? so I need 3 IM's? so just ditch a winger?

3-4-3 can dominate DV. Ditch a winger and get some really good IM's and you have a winning combo. Things get a bit more complicated once you get above DV though.

another question, should I even have defensive wingers? or just put both of them towards the central defense also?

Keep the defensive wingers. Play one defender, best bet is a Central Defender, as an Inner Middie and make sure your best wingback is on the side of the extra inner mid.

Midfield is very, very important when running a 3-4-3. You have to be able to keep the midfield close. If you win midfield, you are going to win most matches (Or least I though that was the case until recently).

I don't know what kind of slosh you people are feeding the newbies while I was away, but I'm in III and doing just fine with the 3-4-3 :P

Ditto and so are quite a few others. Then again, I'm going to have a super/titan/et midfield so that helps level the playing field.
