Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[dv8r]

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately this formation would force me to play either with two of my best players(18 and 21) off-position or two players that are quite worse (11 and 11).
In addition, i think i should switch from off+mixed to off+focus middle, when i use 3W-2N-3N-1-1, is this correct?

Yes, play down the middle for that formation. Also, if that player is one square off his normal position then it should be fine

Thanks a lot, it worked. After 0-1 in 5´ Minute, I changed Mentality to Very Offensive and won 2-1.

It's good that you won, but next time I'd stay at normal if you take the lead and have good possession. I'd only change to attacking if you went behind, and don't use extreme attacking/defending as they aren't very good tactics. You might have won by more than 2-1.

I beat 3W-2N(MC)-3W(AM)-2 by using 4-1-4-1 with short passing, attack down both flanks, no counter, no offside, normal tacking, normal mentality. My team was stronger, but I was away and opponent was watching the game, so a tough match on paper - Result was 5-2 to me.

So 4-4-2 classic beats 4-2N(MC)-3W(AM)-1 and 4-1-4-1 beats 3W-2N(MC)-3W(AM)-2. Both using same orders (as mentioned above).

Butterfly 3N-2W-2N-2W-1 will give any assymetrical formation a run for its money. Play defensive & counter.
