I think you're right. 3N-1-4-2 is not a counter for it.
Against this tactic i play 4-1-4-1 and it works well (last match yesterday: won 6-0, we were both connected, and i was winning 5-0 at
the 38th min until he went into a more defensive strategy).

Today, again:
i played in 4-1-4-1 against a 4-1-3W-2 formation
I know, i was connected, playing at home, my team was better and he had an illegal formation (DC instead of GK)
But i won 11-0...
Please I need some advice. How to make orders? For 4-5-1 V style
Thank you;)
Thanks to Factor X once again for helping us find a recommendation for 3W-2-3W-2.
Hi!..
I know this has been posted before, but there is about 54 pages here, and searching the forum I've not gotten a clearcut answer!
I'm facing a Cup match, against an inferior opponent.
He's playing flat 4-5-1
--------GK--------
-DL--DC--DC--DR
-ML--MC-MC-MC-MR
--------ST--------
Don't know he's strategy, but based on the last game (ended 0-2 with me away) he got the far most shots, inspite of me having 59 % possession.
I've been using a 3-5-2 V style
--------GK--------
--DL---DC----DR-
------DMC(DOWN)-------
-----MC---MC----
--AML(UP)-------AMR(UP)---
------ST---ST-----
It has beeen working so far, until this match. As said before, lost last match 0-2, and meeting him again home in the day after tomorrow. Could really use some advice as to counter that flat 4-5-1. I know it's either a 3-5-2 V or 3-5-2 flat (up the middle), but lacking MR and ML at the moment.
I have a avg. quality of 24, and he's got 21,6.
Doesn't make any sense he wins to me.
Best regards!

The 4-1-2n-1-2 narrow diamond is not countered by a 4-5-1 V formation. The narrow diamond easily stifles any attack from the flanks with its DL/DR & the St with 2 DCs, & the Mids with 2MCs. Then it overpowers the middle with 2 STs, an AMC and an attacking DMC. Counter attack tactics work really well in this situation against a 4-5-1 V.
The counter for 4-1-2-3 is incorrect. I just played a friend (who happens to be in my league) using 4-1-4-1 to counter his 4-1-2-3 formation. I lost 2-0, I had 5% possesion bonus, I even added blue arrows to the DMC to make him help against my opponents 3 STs, and we are almost exactly the same average quality. Nothing worked.
