How to Win Against Any Formation?

[Adel Gamal]

Hi, i would like to ask how to play against 4-1-2-1-2 with 2 wing midfielders

DL--DC--DC--DR
------DMC-------
ML-----------MR
------AMC-------
----ST---ST-----

if you just looked at 1st page you will see that
4-1-3-2 Wide

DL-DC-DC-DR
DMC
ML-MC-MR
ST-ST

Countered by 3-2-2-2-1

DC-DC-DC
DML(UP)-DMR(UP) (If using DL/DR as DML/DMR, remove the red arrows)
MC-MC
AML-AMR (Red arrows if AML/AMR also play as strikers and you want some extra punch)
ST

Short passing, through the flanks, attacking mentality, zonal marking,
pressing whole pitch with offside trap.
OR
Own Half, counter attack, defensive, mixed passing

Other formations known to beat 4-1-3-2 Wide 3:

3-1-4-2 and 3-1-4-1-1 using normal mentality, zonal marking, own half, short passing, normal tackling, no counterattack and no offside trap.

Hi again, I have searched whole thread but cannot find a counter for 4-1-4-1...it has not been mentioned yet so I ask for it, since I ll be facing it tomorrow at champions final:


-------------ST-----------------
---------------------------------
ML------MC----MC-----MR-------
------------DMC ----------------
DL -----DC------DC------DR-----

His team is better than mine and I bet my socks he has motivated wingers, any tips Adel ????

then use 4 4 2 classic with normal mentality ... short passing ... red arrows at DR/DL & MR/L.

and motivate with money bonus.

Hello everyone. I read all the pages on this thread, but I have to ask again.

I play today (for 7 hours) Champions league Final against much stronger opponent. So my average quality is 104.2 and his 108.7

He plays 4-4-2 formation. What formation should I use, and is there any chance to win this match.

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Alex.

I think because he is like or better than you ... then you must play with 4 4 1 1 ... with motivation by money bonus ... normal mentality ... short passing ... red arrows at DR/L & MR/L & AMC ... inshaa allah you will win

Thx for reply, but I didn't ask for help against 4-1-3-2. I asked for 4-3-1-2.
Same tactics applies there, or is there some better?
2 hours to match

Mentality: Usually normal, but I recommend going defensive with hard tackling if the opponent's team is better, and attacking if the opposite.
Force counter: Yes
Passing: through both flanks with long pass
Pressing: own half
Zonal marking
