Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[Duskrazor]

It doesn't matter what you run, honestly. When Top 11 wants you to lose, you lose, regardless of what you run or how much better your squad is.

4-5-1 flat could be beaten with a 3-5-2 flat but what orders do you need to give and do you need to use red/blue arrows?

Let me know please.

[July Fourth]

4-2-2-2 Hexagon seems to beat the Butterfly.

[uyfc]

4-1-2-1-2 - DL, DC, DC, DR. DMC (in the middle), MC, MC, AMC (in the middle), and 2 strikers
4-5-1 V - DL, DC, DC, DR, DMC (in the middle), MC, MC, AML, AMR and 1 striker
3-2-2-2-1 butterfly - 3 DCs, DML, DMR, MC, MC, AML, AMR and 1 striker

Millions thank, dv8r

I would go with 4-3MC-3ST Attacking--mixed- middle-ownhalf-normal tackeling.
or
3dc -dml-dmr- 2MC-Amc-2ST Attacking-short-middle-own half-normal
or
4-ml-mr-mr-amc-amc-st Attacking-short-middle-own half-normal
cheers.

3N-2(DML/DMR)-2N-1(AMC)-2?
am thinking
3N-1(DMC)-2N-2W-2

This is very usefull, but i want know, when i often change my team formation, it's not possible that they will bring claffications 5-6? because the team will work when they "learnd" a fix formation.

Table of what formations can work to beat your opponents

To save lots of diagrams I have used Common Terminology to help describe the formations shown.

This is a list of common formations to some lesser known formations. This list does not include formations that are illegal or asymmetical formations.

Please Note: This does not 100% guarantee that you will win the match.
Please Note: This does not take in account relative strength, This is based on both teams being equal.

It is not possible to cover every formation in the game, there are 1,144,066 possible combinations for a formation in Top Eleven, Whether they are legal or not.

3N is 3 central players, 3W is left,right sided player with a central player

If there's any formation missing you want to see on the table or any incorrect recommendations then please leave a comment and I will make some amendments to the table.

This list is currently incomplete and we are all trying to search for counter formations all the time.

Forum search is useless because you cannot find a specific formation using this tool.
