Use 3N-2W-2N-2N-1. Through the middle, attacking, short passing, yes to counter, no to offside, press own half, hard tackling. Red arrows on AMCs, blue on the 3 DCs.
All the best and post the result!!!!

thanks a lot Saransh Vatsa i got a draw in the 1st match of champions league thank god my striker scored from a free kick in the last minute while the score was 2-1 and also i had to change the formation when one of my player got injured otherwise your formation was working really well i took the lead but after the injury they scored 2 goals from counterattack

3N-1(DMC)-3N-2W(AML/AMR)-1 ...... use def/normal mentality (suggest defensive in first half), down both flanks ,own half pressing , long ball , counter attack on , offside off , hard tackling,zonal marking.........IN MY OPINION......

Hi thank you for this.

I havent played my league opponent yet, but champions league 1/4 final 44.8* v 48.2* I was major underdogs with most of his players on 6 stars and every single one of them with a special skill. The formation worked wonders, I was 2-0 and dominating the game twice as many chances.

He had to change to a weird formation i'd not seen before, and he got it back to 2-1. Happy with a 2-1 away victory though in the first leg.

He changed his formation I think to 4-2(MC)-2(AMC)-2

[Marcusf1981]

Choices choices, do I've got today a match against 4-4-2 classic. We are very even and last game I had injuries so had to play 4-4-2 as well but pushed one of my wide midfilders as a AMR. He won 2-0.

I usually got with 4-5-1 V but I'm wondering if the DMC is a waste or will the Red Arrow remove my worries? The other option would be 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond. Again DMC but I'm concerned this guy has red arrows on his DR/DL and MR/ML and I'll suffer by not having any side protection.

At the moment, I'm setup to go like for like as I've a better starting line up.

Thoughts people?

The closest counter would be this........

3N-2(DML/DMR)-2MC-1-2 .... the counter is 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond

The only difference to what you'r facing is no AMC instead an extra striker.
