How to Win Against Any Formation?

[Riccardo Gulp]

as we said before in 4-3-2-1 formation


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

An excellent attacking formation and strong in wing attack..

Can be countered by:

3-2-3-2:

-------ST---ST-----
----MC-MC-MC---
DML---------DMR
----DC-DC-DC----

A logical choice formation to use against the 4-3-2-1.. 3 DC to block 1 lone striker, a DML and DMR to block attacks from the flanks coming from the AML and AMR, 3 midfield to keep control and 2 strikers to go for goal.

I don't have any good dml, may I replace It with a down arrowed ml?

I don't have any good dml, may I replace It with a down arrowed ml?

so play with 4 4 2 classic and put red arrows on MR/L .. or play with 3 4 1 2 with 3 DCs and put blue arrows at MR/L and red arrow at AMC ... choose now but pls put the result here after the game .

finally it depends also o your players rates if the opponent players are with great rate and the is too much difference at the rates so play with any formation you want , he will win anyway

Hey, I need to some help countering the following formation (4-1-2-3):
---ST-ST-ST---
---------------
---MC---MC---
-----DMC-----
DL-DC---DC-DR

*Overally his players are better than mine, not by much.

Even though it is an illegal formation on Tii at best he may get a few bookings and you may also get a possession bonus.
Try 4-1-2-2-1 V formation.

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

Mentality normal, Both flanks, Own half, Tackle normal, Zonal, Mixed passing, No OS No Counter, if you need more attacking threat red arrows on AMR/AML.
If his centre MC is getting a lot of the ball put red arrows on the DMC, he will be attacking through the centre probably with short passing, and zonal marking.
If your losing try Hard attacking with OS trap, OS only if your defenders are faster than his ST, if that does not work, take off all arrows switch to defensive long passing and counter attack

Won 3-1, thanks!

The 3-2-3-2 can be beaten by the 4-4-2 Classic. The 4-4-2 is not thought to be an ideal formation to use, however it is one of the most balanced formations in football.
Best used with normal mentality, down both flanks, short passing, zonal marking with normal tackling. No counterattack and no offside trap ... whole pitch.

and in the second half put red arrows at MR/L and red arrows at DR/L ... hard attacking ... short passing ... no counter no offside trap ... down both flanks ... whole pitch .

I hope you find this useful ...

Won 3-0 which meant I won 5-4 on aggregate! Thanks for the help

thanks for your help, unfortunately i had not enough time to make the change..
anyway i always go through all your tips on page 1 before posting...
im up against

dl--dc--dc--dr
-----dmc-----
--mc--mc--mc--
----st---st---

his squad quality is abt 15 and mine is 23, which formation should i use?

personally i think 4-5-1 v is good against this, since its 1st leg of champions league im thinking:
attacking mentality, mix passsing, own half, down both flanks, no offside, no counter. is this good? and flat formation with no arrows right?

---MC---MC---
-----DMC-----
DL-DC---DC-DR

i'm still a rookie(manager level 2)
but this is what i would do if i were you

dl--dc--dc--dr
----dmc(up)---
ml-mc-mc-mr
-----st--------
normal mentality, force counter, own half, no offside trap, mix passing, down the flanks...

this is what i would have done... but again im only a lv 2 manager, hope it works for you
this is basically a 4-3-3 if he has arrow on dmc...
so just have more midfielders than him and focus passing down the flanks.
doubt you can go wrong with these 2 key points

You can use 4-3-2-1

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

Although there is no DMC with the 4-3-2-1 it is still a very effective attacking formation to counter the opponent with, mainly because of the strong middle as well as having attacking flanks.
If during the match you feel that he is taking advantage in attacking, then a simple (DOWN) arrow would be placed on the middle MC which in turn effectively would be turning this formation into a 4-5-1 V Style.

no counter attack ... offside trap ... down both flanks ... mixed passing (1st half) ... long passing (2nd half) ... Attacking mentality ... whole pitch.

you will make a positive advantage inshaa allah

after the game post your result here
