How to Win Against Any Formation?

[Kasper89]

Hey.

Opponent formation:

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

Away game. Almost same quality as me, little slower (32 vs 31,5)

I was thinking about this;

DR-DC-DC-DL
---DMC(UP)--
--MC-MC----
AMR----AML-
-----ST-----

Tacts: Defensive, down both flanks mixed passing, own half, normal tackling, counter-attack, zonal marking.

or should I go attack, down both flanks, mixed pass, whole pitch, no counter?

How about arrows on players? He has pretty good strikers and AM's

Don't tell us the average quality, it would be best if you could get screenshots of both sides. Tentatively, I would suggest 3-2-2-2-1 as below as your 4-5-1V would be quite exposed to his AMs.

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

Red arrows on AMs, blue arrows on DMs.

You have two choices, to either attack or defend:
Attacking, down both flanks, own half, normal/hard tackling, mixed passes, zonal, no counter attacks, no offside traps.
Defensive, down both flanks, own half, normal/hard tackling, long passes, zonal, counter attacks, no offside traps.

You don't need DMC because he doesn't have AMC...
Against him you should use:
ST ST
AMC
MC MC
DML DMR
DC DC DC

tacts: normal or offensive, mixed passing, in the middle, own half, zonal marking, no counter

Missing DML & DMR in my squad, so thats abit of problem.

How about using down arrow on DMC and up arrows on DR & DL?

My 2nd striker isn't that good so I would prefer to use both AML & AMR. (AML can be AMC aswell)

How about
DR(UP)--DC--DC--DL(UP)
---------DMC(DOWN)---
--------MC---MC-------
AMR----------------AML
----------ST-----------

How about UP arrows on AMR/AML ?

Try to read what i told you... First sentence...
Better 3 DC and you can use DR up and DL up
AMRup AMLup

Hello everyone, im new here, i have read this topic from some hours, get lots of good formations and tactics. Thanks for it. I need about 12 hours to read all post in this thread, but i dont have that much time to find answer on my question. So let me ask (i have match in 15 hours).

It is cup game 1/8 first leg.
I'm 2nd lev, opponent is 4th,
I have 18,3 stars, he has 25,7.

Home game.

His tactic is 3-0-4-1-2

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

I know i can pray but i want to do something more


I think about 4-5-1 V motiv. will it be good? Opponent is stronger, so pls give me advice about tactic dafensiv or attack and so on.

Thanx
