How to sell

Winning, community, youths, wheeling and dealing... one of these must be the main reason for you playing the game. However, regardless of which of those you find yourself in, selling is a key part in FML, and you should know how to do it in your favor. What you should understand right from the start, is that you have to act only after a good think; not when you are desperate, angry, or just saw a player in auction that you previously owned.

Mad Baboons' Clasic 2-2-3-3

As your already noticed, this is a 4-3-3 with Wing Backs instead of Full Backs. It's meant to give the team some power on the flanks, without sacrificing the central axe; however, all you defenders need to be physically capable to fully cover their own half, otherwise, you might concede a lot when being outnumbered on counters. The tactic will work good when your offensive players have enough vision and skill to move the ball around quickly; in case you see it's doesent work for you, maybe you need to reduce the tempo and the directness of passing, but leave the Defensive Line where it is!
