3n-3w-3w-1

1st match with this formation was great. Opponent scored after corner cross.

I've never seen this formation before. It could very well catch opponent offguard and confused.

It looks similar to the butterfly formation!!!

I would think any strong middle attacking formation (4-1-2-1-2 ND, 4-3N-1-2, 4-1-2N-3, etc...) could counter it by overrunning the mid-field. A wide diamond (with red arrow AMC) or 4-1-2W-3, may work too. The flank formations would bypass the DMC, while forcing both wing defenders to defend the flanks, while matching 3 defenders with 3 strikers.

I haven't faced this formation before though, so I'm not sure how the nordeus game engine would read it.

Today I played 2nd leg of 2nd cup round. My opponent had great advantage from 1st match (1-3) so i had to score 3 goals in this one. I knew that is though job, so I had to risk everything using 3x3-1 formation 1st time against strong opponent.
Match was epic.
Look at screenshot...

@t1 1 fan what tactic and order you playing with. Want to try it with a mc not a amc

[t11_fan]

Various LOL. In this particular match I started with normal mentality, mixed passing through wings, normal mentality, zonal marking, blue arrows on dc, dml/r and amc.
Then I removed arrows at ht from dml/r and amc, added red arrows on aml/r and whole pitch pressing. Near match end I changed formation to 413WAM2 and hard attacking.

So far I didn't use that formation too much just because my opponents usually had 3 or more central mildfielders, so I used other formations with stronger centre.
I could try it again in next 2 matches because my opponents are 2 stars weaker and I need one victory to became champion.

Hey ! I want try this formation but what's your orders and arrow please ?

Hey ! I want try this formation but what's your orders and arrow please ?

I used it like this:
normal mentality, mixed passing through wings, blue arrows on dc's, dml, dmr and amc.
Be careful against formations which have 3 or more central mildfielders.
It requires a lot of defensive players, maybe it would be good for counter attacks and long passing.
I haven't used this formation too much because it forced me to use almost all defenders (3dc + dc/dmc + dl/dml + dr/dmr = 6) in 1st team while mildfielders sitting on bench.
So I will have to change few players in my team to start using it.

I happy for you mate! It's really sweet when you are getting to turn around matches like that Adrenaline gets you stoned as a horny bull and when the match ends and you win, you jump around like a 3yo that got a puppy for x-mas xD
