The "Help with counter-formation" master thread (incl. counter-formation table)

[aster]

The plan is to use this 'master thread' to seek advice about counter-formations in an organised manner.

Basically the idea is for everyone to be able to ask for advice, receive it from some of our experienced managers, and then post back with feedback as to its success. Based on this we will update our "knowledge base" regularly for everyone's benefit.

In this thread I will also include the previous table of counter-formations as a guide, which will be updated as we go along and receive more feedback.

Good luck, Top Eleven football managers!

Well, the part about posting the result, is very hard )
Nobody does that!
But they should...

I just created Table of Counter Formations v2.0 - Which formation to use?. Hmm!
