Soon I'll have a Champions League match against this formation :
GK
DL DC DC DR
DMC DMC
ML MC MR
ST

Can you gusy suggest me a tactic ?
In the first match was 3-3, I used 4-5-1 normal not V STYLE

3-3W-1-3... They are defensive so have a go at trying to get the ball forward

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

Orders: Mentality Attacking, Passing Short, Focus Mixed, Pressing Whole Pitch, Tackling Normal, Marking Zonal, Counter Attack No. Offside Trap Yes.

Pressing whole pitch because they are likely to be passing the ball around a lot in their half of the field with that formation.

Very strange formations first time i found it..have a look

--------ST---------ST------
--------------------------AMR
ML-- -----MC-MC -------
DML--------------------------
--------DC--DC--DC---------

-----ST--------ST------
----------------------AMR
ML-- --MC-MC --------
DL- DC-DC- DC---------



Have u seen something like that?? The opponent plays almost all the times like that when he plays away,and the second formation when he plays at home.
He is first in his league !!! and we play semi Cup with him.He has a nice team,a lot of the average of the level,but he has much worst than mine.He has beaten much better team in the 1/8 of Cup and I don’t want to be his next victim

Now he has this one…

-----ST--------ST------
----------------------AMR
ML-MC-MC -MC-------
DL- DC----- DC--------

Any suggestions?? Has he found a bug or something in the program and he takes advantage of it ??

Play with AML to exploit the vacant right back slot and play a DL to stop the AMR...

Hi, At level 1 , I am playing 3-4-1-2 (CM 01/02 formation)
Top Eleven Be a Football Manager on Facebook | Facebook
What is the best formation for my players ?
Most goals are scorred by MC or MR

mentality = ?
passing = ?
pressing = ?
tackling = ?
passing style= ?
marking =?

mentality = Attacking
passing = Mixed
pressing = Own Half
tackling = Normal
passing style= Mixed
marking = Zonal

Counter-Attack = No
Offside Trap = Yes

Never use both counterattack & Offside Trap together. They counter-act eachother. Genreally use the trap when attacking & opponent isn't strong on attack. Use counter attack when being deffensive & have more than 4 players in your backfield. Also against the 3-2-2-3 you don't need the DMC. You could replace him with an AMC or another striker.

I have big time trouble. I play against a team:

-DR----DC----DL-
-MR--MC-MC--ML-
-------AMC-------
----ST------ST---

First leg was played at my home and I lost 3-0.

I was playing:

-DR--DC--DC--DL--
--------DMC--------
-MR-----MC-----ML-
---------AMC-------
---------ST---------

Normal style.. Zonal Marking.. Own Field... Mixed Passing... Mixed Direction... No Offside... No Counter
DL, DR, DCs with blue arrows
ML, MC, MR, AMC, ST with red arrows

And I lost 3-0 at my home on first leg. My team 46.7 , opponent 41.8

He was probably playing: Defensive + Counter attacking... All Field...Zonal... Down both flanks..(because his ML scored 2 goals)

At 0-1 I switched to a

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

with ATTACKING, MIXED, MIXED PASSING, OFFSIDE, MAN-MARKING, ALL FIELD

but still did not succeed to make a goal!!!!!

HOW CAN I COUNTER IT? ANY TIPS?

I have 2nd leg match today at 20:00 hrs.

Narrow diamond don`t have a lack of defense on flanks lol (dl/dr !!) is lack of flank attack and u can use 3 - 4 -3 .... i know this post is very helpful but i try to think first then apply whats here suggested !

Are you sure 3-4-3 vs narrow diamond ?

DC DC DC
DML DMR
MC MC MC
ST ST

What about this kind:
------ st -----
ml-mc----mc-mr
-----dmc-----
dl-dc-dc-dr

Stronger opponent, cup match - what about arrows and mentality?
