Picking the right formation for your FPL team isn’t easy.And it’s not going to make your season within few weeks or so.at that point there is a lot to be said for putting at least a little bit of effort deciding which formation is going to work best with the players you have taken in your team.For instance you spent half of your budget on three premium strikers so you must have to play them every single week .a 3-4-3 or 4-3-3 would be the best formation to go with.

Here’s a rundown of the formations  which could be helpful according to the player you have picked in your team.

The Desperate Measures
Formation: 5-2-3/5-3-2

you get what you pay for.having five defenders in a team would not be a wise decision.one bad moment & there goes the CS points.only when you actively enjoying a game and you can just hope that particular team/player get the CS points.so these formations are to be avoided.

The occasional punts
Formation: 5-4-1/4-5-1

Not very much different from what i have said on the other defensive formations. this formation you can only use when your attacking players are injured & you don’t have a wildcard or no Free hit chip in your bags. Though you can still have at least 4 midfielders which is the only positives for these formations. Still, these formations should be avoided as there will be at least four defenders to play with which is very risky.
The up and comers
Formations: 4-4-2/4-3-3

Back in the day playing four at the back was seen as a bit of a fantasy cop-out but not anymore.Players usually don’t want to take risk with 4/5 defenders.But if a player can find four or five defenders with the ability to deliver points at both ends of the pitch, then these formations could work a treat.And when they don’t deliver, you still got proper attackers to fill up the points gaps.
The ever populars
Formations: 3-5-2/3-4-3

Every FPL winner used one of these two formations all the time during their season of ultimate glory.it’s a formation where a player gets 7 attackers points.Four/five midfielders and three strikers can be the the most productive.Though a heavy five man mid team is always lucrative.that makes 3-5-2 a tempting prospect at least for the short period.But whichever formation you use just think yourself lucky you’re not playing Italian fantasy football.
