Cup Final against 4-3N-2(AMR-AML)-1

[zaratoustra]

Hey guys.

I am playing against a n equal quality team in the cup final.
His normal formation is 4-3N-2(AMR-AML)-1.

-DR--DC-DC-DL-
--MC--MC--MC--
--AMR------AML-
-------ST------

His squad



And mine



I am thinking of using butterfly or 3N-2(DMR-DML)-3N-2. What you think?

I will appreciate any help regarding countering him. What formation-orders should i use?

4-4-1-1 works for me. never lost with this formation against 4-3n-2-1

What about orders?
Should i go defensive-counter cause his main squad is better than mine?

[Wiesse]

try first this:

normal, through the middle/ down both flanks, short/mixed, zonal no counter/no offside.

you could either play with mixed passes.

I start the most of the matches with normal mentality. During the match I switched with the orders.

Maybe you could start with attacking to hold pressure on him

What about the following plan?

1) I ll start with 4-4-1-1 attack ment, short pass, no offside, no counter, own half/whole pitch, zonal marking
2) If i score i ll switch to defensive ment, long pass, counter.
3) if things dont go well and he score first i ll switch to:
--DC-DC(blue)-DC--
DMR-----------DML
----MC--MC--MC--
-------AMC----
-------ST-----
or butterfly
attacking ment, pressing whole pitch, both flanks, short pass

what arrows should i put on 4-4-1-1? I usually put red arrows on wingers

Started with attacking, both sides, short pass, offside trap
