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 :/

how do i beat 4-1-3w-1-1 and 4-1-3n-1-1? I always have trouble counter these 2 formations. At first i thought it is the same as 4-1-3-2 so i used 4-3-2-1 and 3-1-4-2 as show on the table of counter but i lost 2 times. Yesterday i tried 4-5-1 v but lost 3-0. Please help

4-4-2 Classic is countered by 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond, 4-5-1 V-Style, 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly.
May I ask a noob questions? How are 4-5-1 V-style and 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly like?

I am playing in a cup match against an opponent with a system i have never seen before. It is just like 3W-2DMC-2W-1-2 but instead he has 3W-2DMC-3W-1-1 and i have not seen that system in your board. Do you have any idea hou to counter him. I use Butterfly.

Hia system is like this:

---------ST--------
--------AMC-------
ML-----MC-----MR
----DMC--DMC----
DL-----DC-----DR

How do i counter that?????

Thanks in advance

That I believe is known as the "Maple Leaf" and I think 3N-1-4-2 beats this.

Thank you for this useful thread! I'm at lvl 2 so since I'm one of the only actually playing I'm one of the strongest and I'm confident about winning the league and don't really need to focus on tactics since I'm mostly way stronger than the rest (except for one team wich is running 2nd), but as the final rounds of the Cup and CL approach I think I can really take advantage of this!

However, let me dare to ask if somebody could post images to the 'strange' formations, wich I'm not used to in any way. I just use the standard 3-5-2 and so far worked quite well, but surely I want to learn new ones as far as my players can play it, but I don't really understand many of them, like 'butterfly' (of course I could spend some time guessing) and some images would be reaaaaaaaally helpful for me and, surely, many other managers (or, at least, some ---gk --dc -dc-dc --- etc writing)! If that's not possible, I'll try to guess, of course. Thank you anyway!
