Alright,
I have a slight question on what I should do.
I am sitting third in my series, I play a new team this week, however next week, I play #2, however, he is 4 points ahead of me, but he is beatable, as he is a defender trainer, and runs a 5-3-2, and his MF is pretty stacked.
Now here is my situation.
I am a forward trainer, thus my primary formation is 3-4-3
I know that #1 is not within my reach, however, I doubt the #1 in our series will promote.
I REFUSE to place 4th, it's either 3rd or higher, or lose to 5th or 6th. This is a matter of money, as 4th is the worst place to place I think.
I have a Solid/Poor coach thus my TS is just the base, however, the good news is, I can MOTS and not have it hinder me to much.
Now this is what I am thinking, and you can shoot holes in my theories, provide suggestions or whatnot.
I am thinking of running the 3-5-2 this week both in league and the Friendly, that will pull my formation experience up to Solid and have me ready for the #2 next week.
As for training, I am not really tanking anything as my most important trainees (18 yr old Outstanding, 18 yr old Formidable, 19 yr old Excellent, 17 yr old Solid) will all play.
I am thinking about doing this for the MF gain I would get, once I get the formation experience up, I would run 3-5-2 in league matches, and a 3-4-3 in friendlies for the rest of the season.
With the MF gain, I should be competitive as my MF's and WG's are as follows. (Ajax, close your eyes)

Granted the players forms will change, and I could get a rash of injuries, I should be fine.
Basically, I think, if I play the 3-5-2 league wise for the rest of the season, I can actually solidify 3rd place or even move to 2nd, however, If I am able to beat #2 and then #1, I can take the lead to the 1st place, and cross my fingers and hold onto the hope I get a horrible series IV team for promotion play.
Anyways, enough of my ramblings, I guess basically, I am asking for a suggested course of action, or approval of my thinking.
