How to Win Against Any Formation?

[giond]

Best Thread I've read so far, Thanks a lot

By the way, I lost to a guy with the rating sightly lower than I, (25.9 vs 27.1)

his formation is:

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

while I've been playing 4-5-1 (V), I don't know what's went wrong,
can anyone please help?

Thanks.

He had prolly setted the dmc with a down arrow, turning his formation in something like a 4-2-2-2. You should post match stats so that we might understand where he broke through your defence and how did his own defenders block yours. Anyway yours wasn't a winning formation, quite normal that the game turned out quite open to any result:
his AML-AMR-ST-ST against your defence were 1vs1, assuming that your DMC was up-arrowed. Or 4vs5 if it wasn't.
You had AML-AMR-ST against three defenders, 4 if the DMC was down-arrowed. Same as before.
MC-MC against MC-MC.
....and thus the smallest detail(luck asw) made the difference.

From what I can see, the main reason was bad luck with the game engine mixed in with the above points in the general formations.
When the shot stats show those sort of figures it usually means the game engine is interfering, check what positional changes in the league resulted from the result.

I always think that there was the game engine interfering, cause those losses really cause me the first place,

Anyway thanks Accyrover, I hope I can bounce back in the next season.
