Have been using it too. Hard to get the hang of it. What I do is pass out the the wing and that will make a lot of space in the forward line since there would be a mid and a defender after you then pass it in to the forward, or run down the wing and cross it in ;).

If u can't control the ball with a good possession , any formation with 3 CBs will be weak

Yeahh thanks i'll try that, Has anyone got more ideas of maximizing this formation!

it's more like making chances/balls and stuff!

3-4-1-2 works perfectly for me.

Always had more of the possession on FIFA games and people struggle to mark the CF which is Tevez or Kagawa for me, they pick holes in the defence and have Balotelli and Chicharito running onto it.

The only downside to this formation is sometimes your wingers will get very tired, Valencia is an ideal one to have because of high stamina.

To answer your original question before I started to ramble on; make sure your build up is very patient. With 3 at the back, you don't want to be chasing the game end-to-end.
