Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[July Fourth]

Aloha, guys!

Tomorrow The Arsenal meets a stronger team in the Cup playoffs - 26.4 vs. 27.6.
Any good thoughts about counter formation? His formation is 4-2N-2N-1-1



I am thinking about 3N-5V-2 with passing by flanks.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks and good luck in the playoffs!

P.S. The actual avg. quality of the starting players is 29.6 vs. 29.4.

I killed this formation today using 3N-6-1 V, So I would imagine the 3N-5-2 V can work too.

I branded this formation as the "Burj Khalifa"

Hi,

My first time post, I'm level 6 on the phone game (not sure if this makes a difference and is the same version you all play). I've got someone in my league who beat me twice last season and who I'm yet to play again but I was after some advice before we meet again this season.

He plays 4-3N-1-2 and I always counter with 4-5-1 V-Style. My settings are defensive, force counter and attack down the wings. He beats me both times with relative ease. Our teams are more or less the same quality, I would even say mine has the edge 43.8 v 41.8. The orignal post shows my formation is good to counter his setup, are there any more tips to make the contest a little more even?

Anyone got any thoughts on this? I was thinking I might go like for like but instead of his AMC I'll put my DMC. I've got the better team so hopefully they will pull through.

3N-1(DMC)-3N-2W(AML/AMR)-1 ...... use def/normal mentality (suggest defensive in first half), down both flanks ,own half pressing , long ball , counter attack on , offside off , hard tackling,zonal marking.........IN MY OPINION......

Hi thank you for this.

I havent played my league opponent yet, but champions league 1/4 final 44.8* v 48.2* I was major underdogs with most of his players on 6 stars and every single one of them with a special skill. The formation worked wonders, I was 2-0 and dominating the game twice as many chances.

He had to change to a weird formation i'd not seen before, and he got it back to 2-1. Happy with a 2-1 away victory though in the first leg.

He changed his formation I think to 4-2(MC)-2(AMC)-2

Lost 2-0 playing 4-3N-2AML/R-1 as per first post knowing I've lost to him with 4-5-1V before
