How to Win Against Any Formation?

[maker00]

If you mean 3 MCs then.. 3-5-2 against the 4-5-1 flat would be best used with long passing with zonal marking. Attacking tactics should be focused on long balls. This requires a forward with good pace and speed.

What about this kind:
------ st -----
ml-mc----mc-mr
-----dmc-----
dl-dc-dc-dr

Stronger opponent, cup match - what about arrows?

Hello guys, i had a game vs a guy in UCL and he beat me with 2-1. His formation is:
----GK----
DL--DC--DR
----DCM----
ML--MC--MC--MR
--ST----ST----
How can i beat him on the 2nd leg? On the first game i used 4-4-2 with both mc UP. Mentality: Normal, both flanks, on my own half, short with Counter and no offside trap. Best regards, Andrei.

Hi guys!

I searched half of the thread and didn't find any answers..
I'm having trouble playing against this formation, although I have a 4* better team.. o_O

-------ST---------
AML-------AMC---
----MC--------MR
-------DMC---DMR
DL---DC---DC-----

Last time I went with a 3-1-4-1-1, but only got to an 1:1 draw..

What would you recomend?


Thanks very much for your help!

July Fourth please I understand when playing 4-5-1 V motivated:

4-5-1 V Style Motivated

DL(Up)-DC-DC-DR(Up)
DMC
MC-MC
AML(Up)-AMR(Up)
ST

Orders: normal mentality, mixed passing, through the flanks, rest remains same.

But when should I motivate DMC????

Goodmorning everyone :-)
I'm in desperate need of help formation wise. Just started playing a couple of weeks ago and, my team is heading towards the top of the league.

Tonight I'm facing a 3-1-3-1-2 formation, and that's insanely aggressive through the middle. Do you have any ideas for a work around I could use?
Thanks and feel free to add me as friend if that would be easier :-)

Best regards
Minibruv.

You don't need to motivate the DMC, the DMC is a deep lying midfielder that will help distribute the passing and win important tackles in that formation setup.
