Should I use same formation or try something like 4-1-3n-2?

I don't think you need 4 in the back, since he has no of. wingers.
Something like 3N-1-4-0-2, should do.
EDIT
Your opponent's formation has the "illusion" that it has a strong attack, but that really isn't the case. It's a rather balanced formation, but with a strong middle pressing. In fact, his defense could even be slightly stronger than his attack, depending on what arrow he places on the DMC.
if he uses a 4-4-2 (narrow diamond) you can use a formation that lock his midfield and let some of your players free.
try using a 4-1-2-2-1 (v-style) passing through the flanks and blue arrow on your dmc if his amc give u trouble :) Your AMR/AML are free to take him down
Why 4 defenders when the opponent has only 2 Strikers and no wingers ?Quote:

Judging from the way his matches have gone, i feel he is sure to play attacking.
So i kind of worked this out.

Orders : mentality-attacking, passing-through the middle, pressing-own half, tackling-normal, passing-mixed, marking-zonal.
Please do give your thoughts on this. Or if you could suggest something better it would be very helpful.
Thanks.
because he can put a red arrow on his DL/DR to support forward. it more safely than use 3 dcs and 2 stsQuote:

red arrow on your mcs are fine :)
Red arrows on DL/DR won't bother his flanks, since he has an MR and ML. So I'm really sure, 3DC+1DMC, is more than enough to counter his attack.Quote:

Use 4-1-4-1. Red arrows on MC only.Quote:

Thanks for the suggestion.
But as you can see i have no ML.
So do you think 4-1-2-0-3 would be a good option.
In that case, better go for, 4-1-3(2MC/1MR)-1AML-1. Put a blue arrow on the AML to try to balance things. You'll still have some edge on him in the midfield section.Quote:

Thank you once again.
So what should be the orders and markings on the other players.
You're welcome, : )
Normal mentality should do. I like Hard tackles as well, especially if I have no yellow cards already. Mixed passing, Own side pressing, no trap, no counter.
What if i forgo the hard tackling for normal as my GK is not so strong.
And his striker is a fk specialist and has never missed a chance in all the games i watched.
Yeah was saving up money for that. But 2 of my MC's got injured for long term in one match and then my ML too. So had to sell them and buy replacement MC's.Quote:

Yep, just got my new one couple minutes ago, : ) They are rare indeed.Quote:

Hard tackles really help to get more often your hands on the ball when you're being dominated. But, if you're the one doing the pressing and leading the possession, then it doesn't matter that much.
What you can do is start with normal tackles. If you see you're not getting that much the ball, go for hard tackles.
Nice luck.Quote:

Sold them off this season to get better ones. But as of yet have only seen one 4* but aged 29 and rest just 3* and below.
Ok. I guess that would be the best thing to do. But its an away match so lets see about the possession.Quote:

Not sure about the limit, but you can only have up to 15% possession bonus, so no more than 7 or 8 supporters, and if you're there, then only 4 would be useful.Quote:

Pretty sure it's for the OP. No one sane and sober would recommend 3N DCs, with your opponent's formation, : )
But since the other manager would be present so my 8% and his 8% cancels out. And since he gets 5% more for the stadium crowd, if i want the full bonus it would take 10 supporters.Quote:

From what I've seen so far, you can only get a total of 15% even if it cancels out. So if your opponent is there, and it's away, then you can only have a 2% "net" bonus, provided that you're there and have 4 supporters with you.
But, I may be mistaken, I'm not totally sure on this one. Don't take my word for it ! ; )
Don't worry, I'm a noob too, : ) But not a bad one, I like to think, hehe.Quote:

his OP formation's obviously attacking from the middle .. 3N-5-2 V style effective in this case .. just put blue arrow on DMC & red arrows on AML-AMR .. both flanks ..
You misunderstood our discussion, Mr Sufferer. I'm a bit tired to explain (loggin' out), so read page 1 and 2 of this thread, and you should understand.Quote:
