How to Win Against Any Formation?

[joeleyf]

I won the last game away 2-1 Thanks for the advice.

For the home leg, I see my opponent has switched to 4-5-1 formation, with a very strong emphasis on midfield.

He's lining up as:

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

I'm betting one of his MC has an arrow up, and that's the danger guy. I'm at home this leg. Should I attack him or sit on counter? What instructions should I use and which formation?

[Adel Gamal]

Any idea how to beat this formation?
DL DC DC DR
DMC
MC MC MC
ST ST
Its like the 4-1-3-2 but i saw you only posted the wide one?sorry if i didn't see correctly lol

like he said but with these orders :
normal mentality .. whole pitch ... down both flanks ... counter attacks ... offside trap.

With this
DC-DC-DC
DMC
ML-MC-MR
AMC
ST-ST

hi my next opponent has this formation, away game , had a 9-0 win today cheers adel top info.

dl dc dc dr
mc mc mc
amc
st st

3-1-4-1-1

DC-DC-DC
DMC
ML-MC-MC-MR
AMC
ST

and you can replace one Mc with striker if your team better than him
normal mentality if he is like or better than you ... own half ... down both flanks ... long passing ... counter attack ... no offside .

also you can use 4 5 1 V stile motivated and with the same previous orders

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.

you can also replace one mc with one AMC because he don't have DMC and by this way you can break the offside trap .

orders : normal mentality ... whole pitch ... try long passing and if it didn't work good change it to mixed if you watching the game ... counter attack ... offside trap because he don't have any AML/C/R.

and good luck

Hey Adel

So I should be playing a DMR/DML or ML/MR? I think I do not have the players for DMR and DML and I'm thinking instead to go:

DL----DC-----DC-----DR
----MC-----MC----
AML------AMC------AMR
----------ST-----------

What do you reckon? How does your version of 3-5-2 actually line up?

[Smoggie]

I need a formation to beat 4-2-1-2-1 of
DL-DC-DC-DR
DMC-DMC
MC
AML-AMR
ST
Now 2 teams play this way in my league and both are unbeaten any help thanks.

there is some bad advice on formations here, it seems nobody knows what they are talking about. it appears a lot of you simply throw up formations out there, without knowing exactly why a certain formation counters another formation.

the game also has a design flaw in regards to illegal formations so you can exploit it to your fullest

Do you normally generalise, or like fishing.

Perhaps you should enlighten us with your experience on formations then.

i already typed it up and posted it, but then i realised everyone would simply start abusing it and it would ruin the game, so i edited it out. adel has the general idea, kudos to him, but he is not using the game rules to the fullest
