Hi, I managed to squeak a 1-0 win at home against a much better team playing 43n3 using narrow diamond, but am expecting a bombardment from the other teams players when I play away. Has anyone got any ideas as to a formation that will be tighter than a ducks backside in defence, but will give me the possibility of a breakaway goal? Orders and arrows would be appreciated.
Anyone, 29 views and no-one can help?
if you have good wingers along with a decent dmc then maybe you should try the 4-5-1 v formation. the dmc(with blue arrows) should help protect your defence and with good wingers on this formation you can exploit their weaknesses out wide by attacking out wide. i would also put red arrow on the wingers. try also hard tackling if the other team is much better than yours. well hope it helps in some way :)
DO NOT USE THE 4-5-1v. You have been warned.Quote:

Wouldn't have used it anyway. What would you suggest instead?Quote:

Tried that last season twice, lost twice. any other suggestions? Was thinking 5131
the only formation that I can suggest is 5-2(MC)-2(AML/AMR)-1 but you want to play it defensive...
Am expecting a backlash from his team, most of his players had poor ratings, only 4 were 7 or 8, he had a player sent off and I only won 1-0. Hence thinking defensive
I was thinking the opposite. If they had poor ratings, using an attacking formation would have punished him further. Look at his players recent ratings, you can target his weak spots. If his MCs are consistently getting 5s and 6s then aim for the middle, that would be the key.
His team normally average a seven across the board, sometimes higher. He does seem to be on a bad run though, 4 losses and a draw in his last 5 games and has changed his formation to 502n12
Agreed....i have never lost to this formation (4-3N-3)....i use 3N-1-3N-2W-1.......Quote:
