Please I need a guide on how to setup lineups, the orders and especially team formation ( I can't see any )?
I will be grateful if help is rendered. Thanks

You can pick your favorite formation, as long as it is legal.
A good starting point is:
Offense: QB, HB, FB, 5xOL, 2xWR, TE
Defense: 2xDT, 2xDE, ROL, MLB, LOL, 2xCB, 2xSafety
Orders:
Direction -> No preference (QB decides)
run 90% on all downs (that works best against bots)
tick the box on "On 4th down punt or attempt a field goal" and put in a distance of <30 yards
After "Unless yards left" fill in "never"
On defensive team options it doesn't matter too much what you put. I'd put all "pass", but that's me

For a new team (and when I was rebuilding) I would use this lineup.
offense
QB
RB-tailback center
RB-fullback center
WR-right or left
TE-right
TE-left
OL-tackle right
OL-tackle left
OL-guard right
OL-guard left
OL-center

other options on offense:
2 WR's and 1 TE
1 OL-guard and use 2 WR's and 2 TE's

defense
DL-end right
DL-end left
DL-nosetackle
LB-middle
LB-outside right
LB-outside left
CB-right
CB-left
SF-strong right
SF-strong left
SF-free center

other options on defense:
drop one or both Strong Safeties and add additional MLB.
you could also drop one strong safety and add one MLB and change the other strong safety to free safety splitting free safeties to right and left.

Orders page
direction= no preference(let QB decide) or attack through center
Set run preference to 90% on all downs.
Set defense settings to rush, rush, pass, pass


This should work and be successful against most bot teams. Until your team develops, you will be hit or miss against human teams anyway (mostly miss early on), but as your team improves, you'll want to change the offensive percentages to less run and more pass. Defensive settings against humans opponents will tend to be pass on all four more often.

Only difference for this is that most new teams run a lot, so I'd probably change the defense to 5 linemen (DE,DT,NT,DT,DE), then either 3 LBs (Left, middle, right) and 2 FSs/SSs (left and right) or 4 LBs (Left, 2 middle, right) and 1 FS/SS center. Run 90% and defend run on all downs

You need to fire that $85K/week linebacker and the running back too. You will go bankrupt in short order with those old high priced players. You're in div V, so all you need is your starting players with low salaries, set your line up and you should win most of your games.

And of course the other two linebackers too. And the players you are trying to sell are old and untrained, nobody will buy them from you. So you can also fire them to save you the salary.
