Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[Marcusf1981]

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?

Lost 2-0 playing 4-3N-2AML/R-1 as per first post knowing I've lost to him with 4-5-1V before

Slightly better team for him.
He was junt beaten by 4-4-2, with a worst team.
He playes attacking, hard, through the middle.

hello all,
i'm a lv 4 newbie really need suggestion to counter this 4-2dmc-2mc-2
i've already lost 3x this season against this guy (1 in league, 2 in CL group) using my fave 4-1-4-1 and 4-1-3w-2 (i won twice before last season in league and friendly until he change to 4-2dmc-2mc-2 this season)
fyi his squad is 6 star better than mine (i'm 29.4 and he 35.8) and right now i only have 1 DMC and don't have AML, AMC and DMR.
can anyone tell me how to counter this 4-2dmc-2mc-2 ??
i have 1 more match against him in the league and i really don't wanna loose again. thx

3n-5-2 flat or 3n-1-4-2 or the most defensive option 3n-1-5-1 in each version red arrows on wingers and wing attack. if you put a dmc there give him the blue arrow.
but he is just better than you so you should expect that you will not win against him...

How do u know attacking hard through the middle??? That's not shown anywhere.
Well, 4-4-2 shall work as his own formation is very close to it. U can also use 4-3N-1-2 through the middle, hard attacking, press own half, no counter or offside, hard tackling and red arrows on AMC and DR in this case as DL will be good without arrows or with blue arrows to take on his MR. Blue arrows on DCs.
Even 4-5-1 Flat shall work with mixed passing and other orders same as others!!!
All the best and post the result.

Hard tackling, attacking, middle.
He injured 3 players on the oposing team today.
The midfielders are better players, and have better ratings.
He has more shots from the midfielders.

I think it^ shows.
Thanks for the info, i will post the result.

Nice way to find out!!! Will try that out sometime. All the best again!!

i was very scared of him, because he invested money.
But the 3-5-2 i play was enough, even if he has a better team.
i had 3 supporters, he had 2.
he was watching, i was watching.
i had a fuul house.
his money did not help him !!!!!!! )))))

Hi everybody!
Is still Effiel Tower 3W-2DMC-3N-1-1 works against Xmas Tree 4-3W-2AMC-1?

What kind of instruction on passing and tackling should I use?

I`m 27.6 and opponent 35.9, playing at me field.

Thank you!!!

You can put attack arrows on the middle MC / middle MC and MR,ML.
But this dependson the team your facing.
Attacking, if you want to win, you need to attack.
Long pass, you only have one ST.
Force counter, your whole team is in one place, and in this formation, the ST wil receive a pass, and will go in the wing and cross quite often.
here is a friend's match, from today.
