Counter for 4-1-2-1-2 ND this season?

4-5-1V or 3N-1-2-2W-1 works for me.

Tackling a ND is all about exploiting the flanks.

U do mean 4-5-1V or 3-5-2V? Anyways all my previous attemps do attack from flanks, motivated midfield wingers (ML/MR) similar to unmotivated AML/ AMR..

Do u use attacking, normal or defense mentality? This guy is like 4-5 quality better...

Yeah with the second formation i meant to say 3-5-2V, i only listed 10 players there, oops.

Only problem with 3-5-2V is that, whilst it covers you more defensively, flank attacks are less effective as you won't have a DR/DL supporting your wingers.

I've always gone attacking, no matter what quality the opponent's team are, but that's because I've usually got strong ST/AML/AMR players and that's the style i prefer, but a few people like to play defensive, forcing counters against stronger opposition.

Offside traps work well if you play with 3 at the back too.
