Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[dv8r]

well he was 58 quality against mine 26 so i went for defensive, down both flanks (my best player was there,so put according ur best player), Long (but if u want to use mixed does not matter i believe), own half, zonal, counter attack, no offside.

PS : to know if your formations works, see the possession bar...if its always lower 50 then its not suitable against them (i bet you know this though)lol

But I'm playing against someone like 26.7 and I have 39.0, although he's an active player and watches his matches... So possession is key here, I am going for the 3-1-4-1-1

4-3W-1-2

anybody know how to counter this formations?

[yannaing84]

hey how do you counter 3-4-1-2?
GK
DC-DC-DC
MR-MC-MC-ML
AMC
ST-ST
i think 4-5-1 V have some chance as he didn't have any player to cover the flank.
I only have it around 32 skill and he has around 40.
I might have to play some defensive-counter mode.
What do you think?

4-1-3N-2 can be beaten by 4-3-2-1 with AML/AMR

Sorry newbie question again. What does N stand for?

It means narrow. W means wide. 4-1-3-2 can be played in 2 different ways, the wide midfield (ML-MC-MR) or the narrow midfield (MC-MC-MC)

I won 5-2 against the 4-2-2-2.. However the breakdown from the individual formations...

With the 4-5-1 V motivated, I won 4-0, changed to 3-1-4-1-1 in the 2nd half and lose 2-1 with that formation. So I think it's better for 4-5-1 V...

3-1-4-1-1 was dodgy, they had so many chances and possession bar was leaning towards opponent's favour.

I believe the 4-2-2-2 Hexagon is simply beaten by 4-4-2 classic.

Table of what formations can work to beat your opponents

To save lots of diagrams I have used Common Terminology to help describe the formations shown.

[td]4-4-2 Classic[/td]
[td]4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond, 4-5-1 V-Style, 3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly[/td]

Pardon me. Can you explain the detail about each counter formation?

4-1-2-1-2: I only understand the first 4 is DL-DC-DC-DR, and the last 2 is ST-ST.
4-5-1 V-Style??
3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly??

Most of my friends play 442 classic and I want to beat them

July, I see you haven't got a counter for 4-3N-3 on the index page.

I use 4-1-4-1 to beat it with plenty of success. I motivate DR/DL, ML/MR & DCM. The 4-3-3 thread made me think about it & look up my notes.
