    4-2-2-1-1, best way to attack it?

    Playing against a team running 4-2-2-1-1

    -------ST-------
    ------AMC------
    ---MC----MC---
    --DMC---DMC---
    DL--DC--DC--DR

    His team is a little stronger than mine. I used 3-5-2V at home and we tied 0-0

    Counter attack. If he plays a defensive formation and park the bus, then force counter attack is a way to get goals.

    Thanks!

    Right now I have the same formation I used previously against him, 3-5-2V but have my mentality set at defensive with counter attack on, down flanks, own half, normal tackling, mixed passing, zonal.

    When you play counter attack, always play mix passing. The point of counter is that their players are outta position and youll find you get more chances then if you do just down the flanks or through mid etc

    In my league there is a Team that plays always that way. I tryed the butterfly but also only got a draw, but other teams manage to beat it using 451V Style and 433.

    Thanks.

    I did switch from flanks to mixed as the game went on. Also played with blue arrow on middle center back. Tried for a short while while blue arrow on DMC as my DC's were the ones displacing the ball from his AMC. I did not notice a difference so I didn't leave the blue arrow on my DMC for long, maybe I didn't leave it long enough.
