0-4 in CL. Can I try something desperate to win?

[SoMBrA]

Hello everybody!
I had a great defeat in CL home game a day ago. I bought some new players so I could try to play a good away game (I don't think I can qualify but would like to impress my opponent!)

He plays 4-3-3 and has very good players (just 3 are 4*, the rest of the team is 5*!)

First game I tried narrow diamond nothing I tried worked.

Maybe I should try motivated 4-4-2 and try to attack flanks?

Maybe first game I should have played 5-4-1 or something like that.

Any ideas?

Narrow diamond won't work vs 4-3-3
You should play
4-3-2-1
Meaning

ST
AML AMR
MC MC MC
DL DC DC DR
Gk
I tell you why
Because you need to match the same MC he has on middle field
So
You need to
Normal
Throw flanks
Short pass
Normal tackling
Zone
Own half
Put red arrow on AML / AMR
Offside trap off
Counter off
Because you are 0-4
Make
Attacking
Throw flanks
Whole pitch
Short pass
Hard tackling
Zone
Red arrow on DL / DR / AML / AMR
Offside trap on
Counter off

Thanks for your help.
I don't have any AMR / AML but I have 2 AMC.
it's a good idea to have the AMC to play as AMR and AML?

I will update later and see what happens!

[Pini Shavili]

you cant put AMC on AMR / AML position
you need to put every player to his natural position
so if you cant play with AML / AMR try with what u got

try 3-5-2 flat

mentality : attacking
throw both flanks
short pass
normal tacking
whole pitch
zone
offside trap : ON
counter : OFF

[SoMBrA]

Thanks for yoru help mate!

I don't have ML or MR so I think I will relocate AMC to AMR and AML and see what happens

I've had good results with players playing "close" to their original position...

Game is in 10 minutes!
Will update later.

Well I'm 1-0 down after first half but at least this formation seems to be working much better than first CL game

I've also had more goal attempts than my first game. I'm happy with that :P

[Pini Shavili]

What formation you used ?

[SoMBrA]

CL season is over.

1-1 final score. I changed formation during the game to 4-3N-1-2 for second half and attacked through middle since my AMC has shadow strike special ability and it worked good.

I have to say that after I was defeated in 1st game I bought some new players and it better balanced my team
I had only 3 stars defenders and now I have some 5 stars and a very good AMC now

[SoMBrA]

What formation you used ?

I started match with 4-3N-2W-1 down both flanks and It worked, I missed 2 goals because it was my MC that was trying to score and It failed :P

But other team only scored from free kick, he had no real goal chances for the 90'

Thank you for your help, I've learned a lot from this season and this game. THANKS!

4-3-1-2 AMC shadow strike is very powerfull
you did very good and good luck next season.
