there are few things you should consider :
-mentality: go for attacking against weaker teams and def against stronger
-put attacking arrow on the DMC to effectively turn him to a MC when you are attacking.

if u are going against lets say 4-4-2 then:
Passing: Mixed
Pressing: Own half without offside trap or full pitch with fast defenders and offside trap.
The others do not really matter, just make sure your opponent has no AM when you do the offside or counter attack.

if u are going against 3-5-2 then u want to force an attack through the wings so put arrows on DL and DR and go with:
Passing: mixed, through both flanks
Pressing: own half
Zonal marking
counter attack

i hope this helps :)

how about team order...team mentality..focus pass ..pressing style..tackle..passing style?please

4-4-2 is very effective for me :) it works almost on everything except the illegal formations :(

Versus 4-3N-1-2 *Level 2*
Having tried the 4-3-2(AML/R)-1 I was losing 1-0 on halftime and just to make it worse my right defender was injured and I decided to turn to a 3-1-3-2(AML/R)-1 and apparently this formation doesn't work at all since I lost 5-0 on a cup match.

Well 5-0 was a large score to turn around and almost managed it. I have to note that his team average (playing) was 20.6(scout ST) and mine was 21.1(no scout players) so we are about the same.

A 5-1-3-1 formation on the first half with red arrow on DL/DR and central ML with Hard Attacking lead to 1-0 with 65% possesion second half I switched the dmc with a 15(3star) striker and ended 3-0.

VS 3W-2-3W-2
I use 2N-3W(DMC)-2N-1-2
It's works for me one time

4-5-1 V-Style does not work against 4-4-2!!!

I did won the first match 1-0 (my Quality 30, he was 17) !!!

Second match he did won 2:1 !

All my players are from scout! I win against Quality 38 (im 30) but can't win (Q17) 4-4-2 with 4-5-1 V-Style!
Nothing wrong on my tactics, i always change them in game to bring some dynamics, i nearly never lose...

I bet, if i would play ANY OTHER Formation, i would have won !

here we all ask the same thing, somebody help us please,

how we play against the 442 flat?

I'm coming up against a very strange formation;
2 ST
2 AMC
3 W
1 DMC
2 DC
Just wondering what sort of formation to counter!!!

very useful thread ^_^ thanks

Hello everybody ... does anyone have any idea to counter 3-2-1-2-2 formation :
----ST---ST----
AML--------AMR
-------MC-------
--DMC---DMC--
DL----DC----DR
-------GK-------

someone suggested to go for 3-2-2-2-1 :
--------ST-------
AML----------AMR
----MC----MC----
DML----------DMR
----DC-DC-DC----

attacking through the flanks with red arrows on the wingers... but I'm not sure :/
