Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[fadhul17]

Played him using a 4 - 1 - 2 MC, - 2 AMR/AML - 1.

Won Cup Match 3-0 on the road vs. Lvl 4 player. I am Lvl 3 player. His players averaged 27.1 quality, mine averaged 24.8 quality, before the match.

I did see 4 of his players played out of position. A AMC played DMC, a ST played DC, a MC played DC, and a ST played AMC.
He had only 1 player who played DC, and no DMCs on the roster.

I like this font

This is a "little" off topic and I'm sorry, but I'd like to hear some opinions before the season start; I set up a formation (a rather weird one) using my best players at the moment, and it's legal, symetrical and all, but it is unusual and I'm not sure it will work lol. I am lvl 25 and here's my formation - do you think it could work? And yes, I know I need better defenders but it takes time to get some tokens and money

4-4-2 vs my 4-5-2 v style
18 quality vs my 22 quality
me focusing from the middle cause he has 2 mc and 2 defenders 1 start quality and lost 3-1 .... lame ;/


couldnt focus from the wings cause he had better quality than mine :/ tho in first half i pushed from there but nothing happend :/

Focusing anything but flanks in any V-style formation is always a losing plan. Even if he has a strong DL & DR your better off sticking with the flanks if you use a v-formation. A very effective counter to 4-4-2 flat is 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamons: focus through the middle. force counter-attack tactics normally work well (but not always).

Looks good for your team, just be aware that there are always counters for any formation. Right off the bat, I suspect that a 5-4-1 flat, 5-3n-2 flat, 5-2n-1(AMC)-2, 5-2n-2(AMC)-1, 5-3n-1(AMC)-1, or 5-2n-3 might be effective against your formation. Not sure though, because I have never seen this in action. Plan a secondary formation to counter the above formations, just in case. Also, beware of playing to aggresively against them. These formations thrive on force counter-attack tactics.

i dont think there is one for 3N-1-5-1 yet... hard a pretty hard time against that formation while using the classic 4-4-2 and 4-5-1

Is 4-3w-1-2 a good formation?Can anybody tell me what tactics should i use?what other formations are countering this one apart from 4-1-4-1?

I would suggest
defend your half (zonal) in areas where he is attacking. (DC-DC-DC , DMC to the left of the field)
Attack his half in areas where he does not have a defense (ML, MC, MR) .. ML, MR with red arrows and ST-ST-ST. Long passing - Left flank

Cool - I faced that in my CL playoffs last season..
3W-2(DMC)-3W-2
Hard Defensive with counter attack, passing down the flanks

won the game 3-1 with 2 goals coming off the break. but be weary - if he has high quality corner specialist ...
