Yes and no, sometimes the updates will skew things based on the formations teams used that week even though the team's "typical" lineup might be different. A few weeks ago, Tottenham was updated to the 4-4-2 formation that swaps the CAM with a second striker just behind the main striker but I believe Pochettino still prefers to use a 4-2-3-1 (4-5-1 in this year's game). Of course, I'm not sure there is much of a difference between the two formations.

don't see that anyone has mentioned it but Barcelona plays the 4-3-3 with a single CDM and false nine, it was the 4-3-3(5) last year but not sure if it is the same slot in this year's game.

That's wrong they use a 4-2-3-1. The back is Rafinha, Boateng, Martinez, Alaba. The CDMs are Bastian and Lahm. The AMs are Ribery, Goetze, Robben. And the ST is Lewandowski.

What about Muller?

i normally go for a 4-2-3-1, however if im chasing the game i change to what is essentially a 4-1-2-3 with my normal back 4, a defensive mid, 2 really wide players and 3 strikers
