Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[silvayo]

Thank for your advices. I will let you know the result. Thanks alots :-X

I played 4-2(DMC)-3(W)-1 with my friend and lost 1-0 in the second half. My friend Q is 22 and my Q is 19. So I think whether we can play with this formation to counter 4-1-2(AMC/AMC)-1 or not?

---- DC DC(down) DC ----
DMR(up) DMC(down) DML(up)
----- MC -----
AMR ---- ---- AML
ST

Another question. Can I counter 4-1DMC-1MC-2W(AML/AMR)-2 with 3-2-2-2-1 buffterfly?

thanks for your help!

so, the game is over and I lost 0:3.
certainly the possession was 50:50
i think, a second striker was missing.

any ideas for the second leg??

Well, too bad I didn't read your post earlier.
Counter-attacking tactics and short passing (especially through the middle) are like Millwall and West Ham fans. With 4-1-4-1 your orders shoud've been something like this:
normal/defensive mentality
passing- mixed/down both flanks
pressing- own half
tackling- normal
passes-mixed/long
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!

Well, your opponent's using 2 AMC, so your DMC will really need all the help he can get. Which means a blue arrow on at least one of yor MC's, maybe even both. This is the main thing, other than attacking the flanks (he's fielding only DC's).
So: normal mentality, passing down both flanks, pressing own half, normal tackling, mixed passing and zonal marking. Red arrows on your wide players, blue on your CM's. No arrows on your DMC.
Also: you can put blue arrows on you CD (I do, most of the time) and if you're the underdog, you can use defensive mentality, long passes and counter-attacks.
This is what i would do, still, this game's engine is a really weird one. Sometimes it generates really random sh*t, so everything's possible.
GL!
