New Counter Formation Thread

[pnr8555]

Since July Fourth have made his decision to delete his counter formation thread, I will be doing the new one. These formations are from my experience. If you have any good counter formations, post a screenshot of your results AND PLAYER QUALITY OF BOTH TEAMS.

These are from my counter formation sheet that I written privately.

These will be tidied up very soon...

You're really restoring all the guides!

You're really restoring all the guides!

Only because someone has copied them. No point deleting them after all.

I don't understand the logic behind countering Wide Diamond with 3w-2mc-3am-2. Seems to me your dc is left to handle 2strikers & an AMC by himself. Does this really work?

[Danish Zaidi]

4-3N-2AML/AMR-1 / 4-3N-2AML/AMR-1 (If stronger), 4-4-2 classic (If weaker), 4-1-3N-2

Can you suggest me the other settings if i use 4132?
Opponent is 20.5 against my 20.2 so i say he is slightly stronger

[Danish Zaidi]

3N-2MC-2AML/AMR-2 / 4-5-1 flat, 3N-1-4-2
mentality and other orders please?

3-2-3W-1 / 4-1-4-1

PNR & July have put these suggestions on show for you as a counter formation. You need to work the rest out for yourselves. If there was a winning formation for every situation it would be pointless playing the game. Trial & error is the key - learn by your mistakes - helpful hints are always available, but only hints!
