Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[Rob1984]

It means concentrate passing down the flanks, found in the orders part of your tactics sceen.

If 4-4-2 classic is best vs 4-2n-3W(AM)-1, then is 4-5-1V Style best vs 3W-2n-3W(AM)-2. The difference being they have swapped a DC for an ST, so it much more attacking.

Ok Thanks just Set it, 4-4-2 normal, both flanks, normal tackling, short pass, defensive.

Our 1st 11 is almost same strength (me a little better), should İ better go offensive or leave defensive since his formation is already offensive

[Rob1984]

Play normal, then adjust depending on how you're doing. I only play defensive vs much stronger opponents normally.

i've got a problem. how to beat this guy. He's playing 5-3N-1-1. Match starts within 45 min. Can anybody help me?

[Nampion Chancy]

To beat a team of équal quality who played 4 1 3w 2 I plan to play

-----DC ---DC ---DC-----
------------DMC------------
MR----MC-----MC----ML
------------------------------
---------ST------ST--------
With red arrow on ML/ MR
Defensive, through the middle, half pitch, normal , long passes, counter attack, no offside
Does it look ok to counter like this??

Anybody to validate??

Thanks.

The 1St Page sais 4-1-4-1 (left picture) is weak vs 3W-4-3 and 4-4-2 is weak vs 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond, 4-5-1 V-Style, 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly.

[Rob1984]

4-2DMC-2MC-2ST isn't listed as a formation (I shall call it the defensive square). What do you all think is best against it?

4-5-1V style looks like it will work, or maybe 3N-5-2V style? (Same as 4-5-1V but with an ST instead of defender). With focus passing down the flanks.

Or perhaps 4-1-3N-2 with focus passing down the middle? The only difference between this and the opponent is you'd have an MC instead of a DMC.

[alinho]

I play Vs weaker opponent tomorrow and 2 of my plaYers are injured, so dmc and ml play as mc, and mr/ml play as aml /amr do you think this might get a big problem? İ let my best players rest for cl game on same day
