Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[CIBlue]

What should be used against a 3n-1-5-1 (3DC, DMC, ML, 3MC, MR, ST). I was thinking either 3n-4-2w-1 or 3n-5-2 Flat, but not certain. I beat this opponent before (4-0) with 3n-2w-2n-2w-1 Butterfly, but only because she was considerably weaker. I'm wanting to increase possesion.

anyone know how to beat this formation ? Attachment 2558
i was using 3W-4-3, and the orders normal,flanks,own half,normal tackle,mixed zonal,no counter no OT.
and changed my formation to 3N-5-2 and it give noting special
his mc so strong,he scored int he first 5 mins
how do i beat this team ?
hes the best team in CL

Try either 3n-1-4-2 or 3w-1-4-2, both with counter attack condtions. Use the wide defense if his ML/MR are getting through too much. If he is still able to get too many shots on your goal switch to a more defensive 4-1-3n-2 with counter attack conditions. Sometimes the opponent's team is just too good, and there isn't a formation that will beat them (unless your team gets significantly better).

hi ,

against :

DL--DC--DC--DR
--MC--MC-MC---
AML---------AMR
-------ST-------

will work the Butterfly ?
normal mentality , ataking flanks , mixt pass, one half and conter atack ?
or 3N-2(DML/DMR)-3N-2 will be best ?

My Asymmetric formation tweaked from the total football concept but with a stronger six man FM.

It can be played with either DR or DL.

Played with DR:

DR-----DC--DC
----DMC----------DML
MR----------MC
----AMC----------AML
----------ST

Played with DL:

------DC---DC-----DL
DMR----------DMC
------MC-----------ML
AMR----------AMC
---------ST

Works well in countering most flank attack teams, don't try it against 3 x Strikers. It's also not been used against 4-1-3-2.
For me it has also worked reasonable well against the narrow diamond.
Not a bad formation for when the game engine takes a chunk out of your MC's with injuries.
With the right duel positions the whole outer circle of players can be rotated clockwise or anti clockwise to cover any injured player with just one sub.
GK, MC and striker are the ones you need as direct replacements the other take your pick.
