Counter 3N-2DMC-1MC-3W-1

[Johan Lång]

Hello!

Im in a bad position in CL, and really need to win this game to have any chance to take the 2nd place.

My opponent has a strange setup and I cant figure out how to counter it, he has 3N-2DMC-1MC-3W-1

--------S-------
-AML-AMC-AMR-
-------MC------
--DMC---DMC---
---DC-DC-DC---

My Q is 51.4 and he has 50.1. But he only has a freekicker, and i got all but 1-2 position without special abillity (depending on which tactic I use).

I normally play 4-5-1 V-style, but I got a squad that are very flexiable, got all positions but DMR (i got a DMC/DML, but i prefer not to use him cause he has only 47 Q, with playmaker).

The only thing i can think of is that I need a strong defence to counter his 3 attacking midfielders but also his striker, meanwhile i need a decent offence to break thru his kinda compact defence. Even if I use AML/AMR he has 2 DMC within reach of thier zonal marking.

Please give me som advices!

Regards,
Johan

hie defense doesn't mean much sense. 2 DMs in front or 3Ns???

i would go for attacking him through the wings, while defending with 4 in a last row and central DMC.

so something like 4-1-3W-2 with red arrows on wingers or even stronger option 4-1-2N-2W-1. this secong formation won't hurt him much because it is exactly the play for covering the wholes, second one should be used for draw, first one for the win

4-1-2N-2W-1 = 4-5-1 V-style right?

--------S-------
-AML-------AMR-
-----MC--MC----
------DMC------
-DL-DC-DC-DR--

play 4-1-3n-2 attacking, mixed, mixed, zonal, own half, hard tackling, no counter, no offside, arrows on middle MC and STs.
or 4-5-1v attacking, down both flanks, mixed, own half, hard tackling, zonal, no counter, no offside, arrows on AML/R and ST.

Why 3n and not 3w? Then I have 2 DMC to get pass with my offensive mc.

[Mikedunga]

thats up to you, but the DMC's would be used hardly as there is no AMC in the position, but 4-1-3w-2 could work well.
4-1-3w-2 - attacking, down both flanks, mixed, zonal, own half, hard tackling, no counter, no offside, arrows on ML/MR and STs.

Thanks for your suggestions, i think i will go with either 4-1-3n-2 or 4-1-3w-2.

[Johan Lång]

I started with 4-1-3n-2, without any shots on goal after first half and 0-1 in score. So I changed to 4-1-3w-2 and got a couple of shots on goal and got one goal 1-1, but that was not enough and I did not make it to the playoffs for the first time ever!
