CL Games - Need advice :) (4-1-2-1-2 VS 4-1-3-1-1 and 4-3W-1-2 VS 4-3-3)

[SoMBrA]

Hello everybody!

Tomorrow I'm playing 2 CL games with my two teams...

My first team uses 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond formation and I'm playing against 4-1-3-1-1 and I'm not sure if I should change to something different for away game and try to get a good result for home game!

My team is rated with 18 quality and opponent is 16.

My second team uses 4-3W-1-2 formation and I'm playing against a same quality team which plays 4-3-3...

I'm quite sure that I should change formation for this game and go for Narrow diamond and try to attack middle while using DL and DR to attack flanks?

Thanks for your help, I will post results so this could help some other people in the future

Narrow diamond work well against 4-3-3.

Narrow diamond work well against 4-3-3.

Great

You think is good tactic to put red arrow on DR and DL against 4-3-3 playing Narrow Diamond?

I was thinking Normal - Center passing - Own Half - Normal tackling - Short passing - Zonal - NO Trap - No Counter..

It's okay But to be sure, no arrow. Cz you against 3striker. But you can check it out to us
The order seems good. And also you can change normal mentality to attacking mentality if you don't scoring.

Today I did some experiment against a weaker 4-3-3 team.
I played narrow diamond with mixed passing and after first half it was 1-1.

Second half I managed to score 2 goals (free kicks specialist!) and when score was 3-1 I changed tactics to Counter-attack and long passing and I scored 4 goals! 77' - 80' - 84' - 86'

Maybe this is a good idea if not scoring or losing against 4-3-3.

I will update the post tomorrow night...

Will change to Attacking mentality with Counter and Long passing if I'm doing bad

Today I tried Narrow Diamond Long Pass - Counter-attack against a weaker team that was playing 4-3-3 and I won 4-1.

Will see how things go tonight in CL against equal quality team with 4-3-3 formation!

Should I change tactics to avoid goals as It's home game? (after I score some goal of course!)
I'm asking because sometimes I've lost games that I was leading by 2 goals in first half... change mentality and play counter-attack?
What would you do?

Ok Im here to update!

Won 0-1 against the team that was weaker than mine (It was a Narrow diamond VS narrow Diamond game!)
I had to change passing to long and play counter because he was blocking all my passes and I think he was also playing counter!
It was a difficult match, he missed some chances to score!

The other match against same quality team ended 1-1 (home game).
He scored before I could change my tactic... Match started 4-3w-1-2 (my formation) vs 4-3-3 and he scored 1 goal. After that I changed to Narrow diamond.

I was loosing at around 70' of the game so I sent my DL and DC with red arrows aswell!
My free kick specialist failed some kicks but managed to score the final goal

Good job

Ok I'm ready to play the second leg of the CL games tonight!
I have some new players so hopefully I will qualify with both teams for next round!

I will update post tonight!

It is better to use a 3* DC as DMC or use a 2* DMC?

Any tips?

[SoMBrA]

Ok won game against 4-3-3 formation 1-2 (away game) so I continue to next round! (played Narrow diamond against 4-3-3 and I had good results in both games!)

In 5 minutes my second game starts, I already won first game 0-1 but it was a hard game...
Other team plays an almost narrow diamond formation, 4-1-3-1-1 so I was thinking to go maybe 3-1-3-1-2 as he is attacking with only one striker?

I will start match with 4-1-2-1-2 and see how it goes
Will update later!
