Formations Guide
DreamEPL.com has a large selection of formations that you can select throughout the season. You are not constricted to 1 formation for the entire season but can change your line-up at anytime you wish.
The following formations are available to you:
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Formation: 4-3-3 | Formation: 3-4-3 | Formation: 4-4-2 | Formation: 5-4-1 | Formation: 5-3-2 |
Formation changes are normally straight forward if you do not have a full 16-player Dreamteam as you can make use of the sub slots to store players while making the change. This guide is useful if you have a full bench and a full 11-player squad.
Depending on the current formation and the number of subs on your bench, you may have to select a different formation and use the Temporary Sub (TS) as an interim step before selecting your desired formation. Assume there is a full bench for the following examples:
Example 1: Going from 5-4-1 to 4-3-3 with a full subs bench. An alert will state that you need to sell/sub your 5th defender and your 4th midfielder. Assuming you do not want to sell, use the TS to sub your defender. Select a 4-4-2 formation and sub in a player to the empty forward position. This will clear the TS position. Sub the 4th midfielder to the TS, change to a 4-3-3 and sub in the 3rd Forward.

| Sub Off (D) | Change to 4-4-2 | Sub On (F) | Sub Off (M) | Change to 4-3-3 |
Example 2: 5-3-2 to 3-4-3. TS your 5th defender and change to a 4-4-2. Bring a midfielder on from your subs bench. The TS will clear. Sub out the 4th defender and change formation to a 3-4-3. Bring on the 3rd forward to clear the TS position.

| Sub Off (D) | Change to 4-4-2 | Sub On (M) | Sub Off (D) | Change to 3-4-3 |
The majority of formation changes will only require 1 TS change before changing formation. Once complete, the TS can be cleared by bringing a player off the bench into the vacant position.
