Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

3W-4-1-2 and 3N-4-1-2 can be countered with 5-2-1-2 X-style.

Hi ;)

Now in the Champions League Group i have 3 Opponents that play 4-4-2 classic. I cant even find a good counter formation so i think i try it with the following tactic:

---ST---ST---
-----AMC-----
---MC---MC---
DML--------DMR
---DC-DC-DC---

i try to play normal, mixed, own half, normal, mixed and with counter .... red arrow on STR and AMC, blue on all 3 DCs

Think its a good idea to try it or maybe got some tips for tactic?

*edit* ok its no good idea couse i lost against 4-4-2 today 4:1 in cup *edit*

Hello, Martin :)

my main formation is 4-5-2 V style, but figured out (hard way) that against classic 4w-4w-2 works best :

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

through the middle ; att/normal, red arrows on wings, depends on strengths/curr. result, more attacking formation 3DC and 2ATT against weaker opponent..

thanks very much. i will try it tomorrow. Hope it helps :) I post then the results. Maybe i can change to a win for me but its hard couse the strengh of him is near mine. Maybe he is a lil bit better.

I think there is something wrong with the table for counter formations, it says that 4-1-3W-2 is countered by 3N-1-4-2, well i dont get it , he has 2 wingers , you have only 2 , it"s true that you have stronger middle but .... i tested in , in the cup preliminary round , i lost 2 matches 3-0 :( , his CD"s were 29 and 32Q , my strikers are 35 and 31 and my 3 CD"s are 36,33,29 and his strikers were 31 and 24 , and still both matches he smashed me :( oh and my team is 26.1 his is 27.4, oh and his Goalkeeper was only 2 stars...at least i wanted to score 1 goal in my home match

Thanks again. I won today 3 - 0. I played with 3 dc and 2 Str couse i thought i need as many goals as possible ^^

Hi I noticed there is no counter to 4-5-1 v style. Anyone got any ideas or had success against it????

Hi, I am going to play with oponent

GK
DL DC DC DR
DMC
MC
AML AMC AMR
ST

How to beat it ?

I'm going to face an opponent who has the following formation
3W-1 (dmc)-2N-3W-1
I'm sure I'm going to lose against him since he's very well ahead of me in quality wise but is there any formation which could provide atleast a bit of resistance ?

Hi!

Which formation and tactics do you recommend against:
DL-DC-DC-DC-DR
MC-MC-MC
AMC
ST

Thanks!
