How to beat this formation?

4-4-2 classic

I don't play against a 3N-1-3W-1-2 Dandelion since a long time. Is 4-5-1 V-Style still effective ?

[shamanik]

4-5-1 V-Style and 4-4-2 aren't effective against the dandelion now. I've lost 0-1 against a team very weak. I have an average of 54,8 quality and him 37,7.

I used 4-5-1 V-Style during the first half (0-0) then switch to a 4-4-2 and loss on a penalty kick. I had the possession 61-49 (he didn't watch the match). 12 shots, 4 on target on the both sides. I'm despited...

In my league I watched 2 players beating 4-1-3W-2 quite high (3-0, 4-0) with 4-1-3W-1-1. All teams have about the same quality and the 4-1-3W-2 player is active. Could it be a counter?

[Alan Štemberga]

3N-5-2 V-Style does not counter 4-1-2-1-2 (Narrow Diamond)...you should delete this because it can really screw someone up..

Aloha, guys!

Tomorrow The Arsenal meets a stronger team in the Cup playoffs - 26.4 vs. 27.6.
Any good thoughts about counter formation? His formation is 4-2N-2N-1-1



I am thinking about 3N-5V-2 with passing by flanks.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks and good luck in the playoffs!

P.S. The actual avg. quality of the starting players is 29.6 vs. 29.4.

I killed this formation today using 3N-6-1 V, So I would imagine the 3N-5-2 V can work too.

I branded this formation as the "Burj Khalifa"

Hi,

My first time post, I'm level 6 on the phone game (not sure if this makes a difference and is the same version you all play). I've got someone in my league who beat me twice last season and who I'm yet to play again but I was after some advice before we meet again this season.

He plays 4-3N-1-2 and I always counter with 4-5-1 V-Style. My settings are defensive, force counter and attack down the wings. He beats me both times with relative ease. Our teams are more or less the same quality, I would even say mine has the edge 43.8 v 41.8. The orignal post shows my formation is good to counter his setup, are there any more tips to make the contest a little more even?

Anyone got any thoughts on this? I was thinking I might go like for like but instead of his AMC I'll put my DMC. I've got the better team so hopefully they will pull through.
