How to Win Against Any Formation?

[DarioDA]

Looking at his formation, he will be most exposed to ML and MR or AML and AMR and a lone ST. You could even have all 5, and then your defence will be 3 DCs and 2 blue arrow DMCs. No matter what, you will have defensive mentality, hard tackling and long passing.

Yesss... but with 3 DC and 2DMC's i will leave my flanks exposed on def, as he has AMR AML, i have to protect the flanks! As i said i will have MR ML, both with red arrows for counters (i may even put the MC with red ups or make it AMC). Hard tacling, good idea, i have nothing to loose and all to win, ty for the tip If i qualify for the next round i will have for maybe 1 or 2 more players then! ^_^

No, use zonal marking, so his AMs are covered by your side DCs and DMCs, and wide midfielders. No red arrow on your MC, only on the flanks since that is where you will attack.

Ah okok! Got it, even without wingers i will have a DC and a DMC covering the flanks... good, kinda the same, but i put the pressure a bit more up (which i am not sure as he is really strong in the midfield and putting the pressure so up may be counterproductive). Maybe i should put down arrows in the DMC? Even in the MC? Ty for the help!

He kicked my ass badly 0-6... kinda expected thou! too much of a lvl difference (around 20% better!)... ill try something else in the 2nd leg... but guess he will kick my ass the same!

I think it will be illegal due to three players on the right side, you'll just need minimal defence placed well to deal with his attackers on the rare chances they have to get forward.

----------ST-----------
AML-----------------AMR
ML---MC-------MC---MR
-------------------------
------DC--DC--DC-------

This is what I've come up with, it's odd but players are placed to triple mark all his attacking players while giving you a strong attack down the wings, only his MC is only double marked. You're free to rearrange them slightly.

Attacking/hard attacking, down both flanks, own half/whole pitch, normal tackling, mixed passing, zonal marking. No counter, no offsides. Red arrows on all four wingers, blue arrows on MCs if you feel they are needed.

How do the teams compare btw?
