Cup Rematch - 4-4-2 Opponent

[Mehmet Akif Özdemir]

Hi all,

I need your help. tomorrow is my cup rematch. my opponent plays a 4-4-2 formation.
I won the first match 3:2 (home).

Should i play again 4-3-3 outside or should i change my formation ?

Here some pics:

I normally use only 1 formation the whole season. the result was frustrating.
Now i read in the forum that there are counter formations for each formation.

Your feedback is really appreciated,

BR,
Mehmet

update: i had bad experiences with my last DMC´s. therefore i sold them all. The rating of them was often around 4,5,6 ....

You can try 4-5-1V formation ... I used in my last season's cup match and I won it ...

I changed my formation to 4-5-1 as you see and the result is following


however, thanks for your prompt help.

Tomorrow starts the CL. which formation would you propose for this arrow formation

Any idea ?

your oponent play with 3W-1-3W-2-1....?? i think 451V style will do here ok or maybe 3N-1-4-2 (you will crush his middle and defense).

yep i think 3n-1-4-2 will do well. red arrows on ml mr blue on dc s, down both flanks, normal mentality.

if u wanna a bit of fun but risk maybe u could try 3-5-2 v. down both flanks, blue on amc amr and dc s, attacking mentality.

thats only my opinion tho. im not a pro. take my advice at ur own risk....

mhm, i dont have a DMC now.
Should i try 4-4-2 ? btw my ML and MR they can also play on AML/AMR positions.

or 4-5-1 ?
