yes.. you should play 5 in the league game & 5 in the friendly..
formations are tricky.. ideally, you should be familiar with 2 formations.. for defense trainers, that will be either 5-3-2 or 5-4-1.
If possible, try to play 2 formations a week, 1 in the league game, the other in your friendly.
I don't know much about these formations but here's my 2 cents worth.
5-3-2 is more ideal for counter attacking. Counter Attacking will only be useful when you lose midfield but has a defence stronger than your opponent's attack. The idea is to let your opponent win possession then convert their missed chances to an attack of your own. To do this, your defenders must have decent passing. This formation is also useful when you are playing weaker teams that have a inferior midfield even when you are playing with only 3 middies.
5-4-1 is more for pressing. Playing 3 inner midfielders and a winger towards middle will give you a decent midfield rating. That, paired with a strong defence, will limit your opponents chances of scoring. But it's only logical to press when your opponents are far superior in midfield. By the way, 5-4-1 only works when your players has good stamina, preferably excellent. Players with 'Powerful' specialty will get their defensive contribution in the game doubled.
As you can see, training defense means a substantial loss in attacking strength. The formations & playable tactics all points towards a slow-paced, low scoring game. In other words, boring!
There are ways around the maze though. One, is to invest in strong forwards. A strong defence & strong attack can be very deadly when you are counter attacking, for obvious reasons. Also, you can depend on your attacker even if you are playing 4-5-1 as he's of a quality skill level.
Second, get players with specialties. Head especially. Paired with a Set Piece expert, they'll be able to work well in set piece situation.
If i were you, i'd want to have strong attackers, a good set piece taker and have a few head specialists on the field at one time.. It'll increase your chances of scoring by a lot. And for a defense trainer, that can only mean good news..
