Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[CIBlue]

Counter it as if it were a 4-1-2n-1-2 (narrow diamond). Just recognize that he more than likely has either red arrows on the DR or blue arrows on the DML, so plan accordingly. 4-5-1 v-style might be best or if his MC are weaker than the rest of his squad, try 4-1-2n-2n-1 (the hexagon) with focus through the middle.

Is it good to put a blue arrow for DC? (srry 4 my bad English)

[CIBlue]

The blue arrow on any defender (DC, DR, or DL) makes them a sweeper. They stay back closer to the goal behind your defense line & go after opponents who get past your defense line; within their zone. For a DC, the zone is all 3 center positions (DC-left, DC-middle, & DC-right). For a DL I believe their zone is only the DC-left; but it might also include DC-center. Vise-versa for DR. If you put blue arrows on a DC-left, that players zone is DC-left & DC-middle. Against an opponent who uses only 1 striker & no AMC, or 1 striker with advanced flanks (AML/AMR) & no AMC, a good tactic is 3DCs with blue arrows on the DC-left & DC-right (gives double sweeper coverage to the DC-middle & normal sweeper coverage to the DC-left & DC-right). DO NOT USE "OFFSIDE TRAP" WITH ANY SWEEPERS; sweepers stand behind the offside line & so you can never catch your opponent offsides with a sweeper.

Hi,

I once played against the formation 4-1-3N-2 and I had 3-3-2 (aml/amr)-2 and won 4:1.
but the opponent was weaker than me for 3 points, based on average quality.
just for letting players know ^^
