del Bosque uses 4-3-3 and heard him name It that way at least once, that's why Iniesta and Silva are put as SS.

That formation in the first post does not resemble what Spain has played like in this Euro at all.

I know It doesn't, It's an old graphic.

In my formation i'm usin Cesc as SS and Silva and Iniesta as AMF. Xavi CMF and both Busquets and Alonso as DMF. Anyway some positions are not so easy to define and replicate ingame because of real Spain's playin' style...

[čale]

this is what i actually think of their formation:

[furymaker]

I like it , but one question , why's Alba 75 overall as LB , u're using him as SMF ( main position ) ?

[čale]

nah, i use an internet program to create the formation www.pesgp.net and it uses the default KONAMI database, don't be bothered if some numbers (overalls) look a bit odd.

[furymaker]

also I would move Xavi and whole midfield bit forward , with Xavi standing maybe on top of the circle as that is place where he's most of the time , don't know will that have much difference in-game , I just like to use Spain/Barca or teams who dominates possessions with high defense bit higher on pitch

[vinnie]

Good to see Villa, and, call me biased if you like, but i feel De Gea has eclipsed Reina already... just that Reina has a good charisma and positive influence for the dressing room, whereas there isn't the need to disrupt dressing room harmony simply to accomodate a talented young keeper that won't get any time anyways. Just an opinion Looking forward to when De Gea debuts for La Roja.
