Well this is the way I believe it may work from when I studied it when I started.

I honestly do not bother now as like you guys say (I agree also), it simply doesnt work the way it should.

Each formation has a range from 1 to 9. 1 being ultra defensive and 9 being all out attacking.

Each mentality setting has +/- 0.5 MEN:

EXTREMELY DEF -2.5
VERY DEF -2.0
DEF -1.5
SOMEWHAT DEF -1.0
SLIGHTLY DEF -0.5
NORMAL 0
SLIGHTLY ATT +0.5
SOMEWHAT ATT +1.0
ATT +1.5
VERY ATT +2.0
EXTREMELY ATT +2.5

For example, if you play a 4-4-2 formation (MEN 5) with EXT DEF (-2.5) you adjust your tactic mentality to 2.5 and so would be playing defensively.

If you play ALL OUT ATT (+2.5) you adjust your mentality to an attacking style.

If you play an attacking formation 3-5-2 (Men 8) and you play EX DEF (-2.5) you would still be playing at a mentality above the mid range (5).

The same would work for a defensive formation i.e. 5-4-1 (MEN 1) and you try to adjust for ALL OUT ATT mentality (+2.5) you are still below the mid range (5) and therefore still playing defensively.

The 4-3-3 DEF formation is actually a higher attacking mentality (6) than the mid range and is not really a defensive formation as such.

If you then play an attacking mentality (+1.5) you are adjusting the overall mentality to 7.5 which is a very high attacking MEN.

This may result in less possession but also boosting your attack but weakening your defence.

Like I say, this is how it / should work, but does it is the vital question ?

Different attacking styles require different skills from your players and different skills to defend against them.  This is one area of the manual that is relatively comprehensive.

The role of the captain is one of those beautifully vague elements that TM is overladen with.
