How to Win Against Any Formation?

[al12]

4 1 3 2 wide with ML/R.

normal mentality ... down both flanks ... counter attack ... no offside trap ... and red arrows at ML/R.

and finally good luck

Lost the match... 4-1...

Totally frustrated with this game... has lost the 2 matches, drawn 2 matches and won only 1 matches for the past 5 games. And 2 penalties have been awarded against my team for the past 5 games.

And to lose against teams of lesser rating, and 1 level below... This is the ultimate frustration.

I'm sick of waking up every morning to on the app, and it tells me that my team lost a game a few hours ago at 4 plus am.

Perhaps the game doesn't like my team and is forcing me to leave the game. Really frustrated of this game.


Beyond words to describe the feelings I have now... Sorry guys, have to really let this frustration out here...

got a really weird formation

---ST--ST--
---MC--MC--MR
DL-DC-DC-DC-DR
-----GK-----

----

wanted to try this one:

---ST--ST---
AML-----AMR <---- both up
-----MC----- <---- up
---DMC-DMC--
DL---DC---DR <---- DL/R up
----GK-------

offensiv - both flanks - whole pitch - short passing - offside trap

yes or no?

I'd never play 3W Defensive again 2 ST.
With the above formation red arrow on his MR takes your DL out of the game leaving his ST 2 V 1 in the centre especially as you have pushed your DR up.

Simple formations to counter his would be.

3-4-3, 3-4-1-2, 3-4-2-1.
All with 3 DC's

He's is just played as a 5-3-2, so he should be defending with counter, attacking is the right option but not leaving only one at the back.

I want to ask another question:

If i have players that are DC/DMC, does this mean they will be a better DC than DMC or equal at both?

In theory they should be good in either, in practice I normally find I get slightly less in their secondary position but if the player has higher quality than the player he is replacing then he will do the job nicely.

What is the best way to beat a 4-1-4-1 formation ? Thanks!

[HowIndyAyer]

---ST--ST--
---MC--MC--MR
DL-DC-DC-DC-DR
-----GK-----

----

so maybe playing with 4 Defencers?

---ST--ST---
AML-----AMR <---- both up
-----MC----- <---- up
----DMC------ <---- down(?)
DL-DC--DC-DR <---- DL/R up
----GK-------

offensiv - both flanks - whole pitch - short passing - offside trap

What is the best way to beat a 4-1-4-1 formation ? Thanks!

hmm ... i almost lost against a 4-3-3 wide, while playing the 4-1-4-1
even though my Team got a Strenght of 42 and his of 36 ... so maybe u should try the

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

not exactly sure about the tactics
maybe someone more expirienced can tell you

[lordu]

the best option to beat this :
DC-DC-DC
DML-DMR
MC-MC-MC
ST-ST


is a 4-4-2 with normal mentality, down both flanks, short passing, zonal marking with normal tackling. No counterattack and no offside trap ?

[Accyrover]

Not really, go to page one and read 5-3-2 which is what you are up against.

[Potemy]

Playing against a very attacking 3-2-3-2 tonight:

-----ST-------ST-----
AML-----AMC-----AMR
-----MC------MC-----
----------------------
-----DC--DC--DC-----

I'm playing at home, I have all 5 stars, he has only 2 5*, and maybe this is important, his GK is 3* and AMR is 2*

Very important game to me, I'm 3rd place and he's 2nd right now. Thanks.

EDIT:

I was thinking 3-2-2-2-1, some people call it the butterfly?

--------ST--------
AML----------AMR
----MC----MC----
DML----------DMR
----DC-DC-DC----

Maybe a slight variation, changing one MC for a DMC. Is that okay?
