My enemy is my friend. He watched the game, I couldn't We have a similar strength team.
his formation:

------------ST------------
AML--------------------AMR

DL-----DC-------DC------DR

I listened Adels advice and played:

------------ST------------
AML--------------------AMR
-------MC-------MC--------
DML--------------------DMR
---DC(UP)DC(DOWN)DC(UP)---

Got a difficult one with what looks a powerful formation: 4-3(wide)-1-2

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

He beated me 1-0 me playing 4-5-1 V (btw, looks like they nerfed it as i am not so effective with it anymore!! Any other formation that works well and is excellent like 4-5-1 V was?)

Thanks!

Hi,

Please advice how to beat following formation:

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

Looks like quite strong conterattack formation. I tried to use 3DC+2DMC+2MC+AML/AMR+ST It doesnt work. Any thoughts? Interesting to hear your opinions.

Just to report 4-5-1V style with counter attack beat 4-2-2-2 hexagon. This was away against league leader.

Started off defensive with no arrows, then normal mentality with up arrow on DMC only and took the lead, so continued playing normal mentality but with no arrows again. Scored another goal after that, 2-0 in the end.

Other orders - Focus down the wing, normal tackling, no offside trap, zonal marking.

At one point I tried without counter attack, but my possession dropped, it increased after putting it back on.

I'm now top of the league! Thanks dv8r for information about orders and arrows.

Hello to everyone and congrats for the nice effort here.
I was wondering if it is possible someone to give guidelines on how we can give ourselves orders for long balls-mixed passing-tackling or game from the flanks e.t.c.when is needed.
How to select the right orders.
Is it something that has to do with the formations?Or is something that has to do with our view of the game?
Advice us on the when we put what or why.

It is also good for us,when we are following the advices from someone here when our match is over to write a few words for the other to see..It will be very helpful i think.
Thanks for your time.

against a weaker team playing
DR DC DC DL
MC MC MC
AMR AML
ST
I am thinking the formation

DC DC DC
DMR DML
MC MC MC
ST.

Can someone helpme with the orders?It is better from the middle?
From the flanks(i think it is difficult with only one player in each Flank).
