Question for you guys on tactic building...

Do you generally create a tactic with player roles, and have your players fill those roles, even if they're not really suited for it? Or let them (to a point) play the roles they're best suited for?

My general "go-to" formation is usually a 4-1-2-3, with an anchor man DM, and my two midfielders as a combination of BWM, BBM, AP.

I don't really have the players to suit that, so I'm wondering if it's best to just use my tactic, but let those guys play as just basic Central Midfielders, which is the role most of them are best suited for.

Might be better than trying to fit a square peg into a round hole?
