With Troll F.C. I simulated the 4-3-2W-1 with a motivated 4-5-1 against a slightly stronger 4-5-1 V-style and lost 1-3 at home, so that did not work. I will try one of the counter formations in the returning leg, but chances are sadly slim to reach the cup final. :(
Well, too bad I didn't read your post earlier.Quote:

marking-zonal
I don't like the "force counter" order and absolutely hate the "offside trap" one, so I don't use them.
For the re-match you shoud use a more attacking setup, like the 3-1-4-2, attacking mentality, mixed passing, pressing- whole pitch, hard tackling, mixed passes, zonal marking and only if your CD's are quick- offside trap!

In a few days i´m playing against a 3N-2(DML/DMR)-2MC-1-2
Which counter formation would you use?
4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond or 3W-1-3W-2AMC-1
I'm up against a 3N-1-3N-1-2 today, which some might call an "illegal" formation, and I agree, but this guy is trashing everything in the league so far (level 24) except me and a few others. I am currently places 2nd in the League, while he is still 1st. Note that his team quality is around 140 and mine is around 130 (He's buying Tokens as all of his first 11 players are 6 starts or above). I know I 'm supposed to expose his lack of wingers and attack the flanks, but I'm kind of scared of attacking such a strong opponent. I haven't changed my formation much, only my tactics (I don't have much options about the formation since my first 11 are way better than my substitutes). My formation is 4-1(DMC with blue arrow)-2-2-1, with the AML and AMC (don't have a AMR).
ST
AML AMC
MC MC
DMC
DL DC DC DR
GK
TL;DR; How to counter 3N-1-3N-1-2 if he's a token buyer with a team quality 10 higher than mine? PLEASE help me, thanks! :D
Chances are he won't play illegal, probably masking his team selection to other managers in the league.Quote:

What do I do against this tomorrow?

I lost 4-2 at home in the first leg. I have little hope for tomorrow's away game.

4-3(N)-1-2, attacking, through the middle, short passes. A red arrow on one of your more attacking MC's, a red arrow on your left back, a blue arrow on your quicker DC and no other arrows. No offside trap or counter attacks.Quote:

GL!
