Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[July Fourth]

Against 3W-5-2 V style I have also found the butterfly to be useful, beating my opponent twice in the CL.

And against 5-3-2 (wide and narrow) I have found the 3N-4-1-2 formation to be effective.

Added.

Outstanding thread, July.

According to my lists:-

4-3W-3 is beaten by 4-4-2 classic, attacking, down flanks, own half, normal, zonal with O/S trap

3-4-3 is beaten by 4-3N-2W-1, attacking flanks, whole pitch, normal, short passing, zonal with O/S trap

I'll add some more when I find them in my notes, lol.

And this thread should definitely be stickied

Added the 4-3W-3?

Is that formation you stated valid for both 3W-4-3 and 3N-4-3?

I've only got the narrow 3-4-3 in my notes. In fact I doubt I have ever played a 3-4-3 wide at the back.

Added for 3N-4-3, Just trying to fill as many gaps as possible.

The Brazilian is also missing.

And when this is finished any one who leaves their playing formation on the board for the next match deserves everything they get.

lol, You gotta think though, With many different formations being asked on a regular basis, since the inception of the old forum, why not make a table. not a lot of people are ever on the forums, 9,000,000 managers, but only 6,000 members??? and not that many visit and post everyday.

The most important thing left out is the fact that the relative strength of squad is more important than formation

I think tactic is important for manger and need to work on player performance also.
we only have 22 slot of player to put in and did not have all position cover for all formation.
we need some back-up player for injury too. so anyone can think of play a player out of his comfort zone?
