We both have the same quality, but 3-4 of his players are out of position. Using the 4-5-1v is not an option since I read through both forums that it is the absolute worst formation against the so called butterfly formation.

I would not disagree with that but like I said that is not the butterfly.
This is the butterfly.
------DC--DC--DC
DMR----------------DML
--------MC---MC
AMR----------------AML
------------ST
Which when you look at it is probably the best one to counter his 3W 2-2-2-1 with and actually have a decent stab at scoring to boot.

Hi! Can my formation 3-2-2-1-2 (DC-DMR DML-MC-AMC-ST) be effective against 4-1-3-1-1 (DL DR - DMC-MC-AMC-ST)
With whole pitch attacking mentality, mixed passing, short passing style, zonal marking, offside trap. And attacking arrows on st and amc.

Hi all, great work being done on this thread!!!
I'm currently using 4-5-1V against most squads, I think it's a quite good one.
I'm having some drawbacks against diamond formations.
Would you use it against 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond? What about against wide diamond version? Which orders would you select for a weaker/stronger team?
Thanks!!!
Cheers,
Paulo Bento.

Jesus! I thought you Mackems knew a bit about football.
Leaving his AM's wide open is not the best idea.
3-2-2-2-1 Butterfly would be better, or anything where you block his AM's from supplying the two strikers, three DC's with down arrow on the centre one is enough to take care of them.
He's also going to hit you down the flanks, another reason to block those AM's. and play the butterfly as your AM's block his DR/DL from getting forward.![]()
