How to Win Against Any Formation?

[Ljepoje]

I played match and lost 3:1. I had 4-5-1 V style (normal), and he has this:


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



So... what to do to win semifinal against him? He's weaker than me, but I lost first game.

You should play after your style and option, and not after your opponent. I mean, let him figure out how to beat you - and not the other way around. Just put you best 11-man squad and hope for the best.

Btw, post a screener. Maybe I could help you out.

Screen for my team or his?
What do you mean by that what you say... I don't understand. Isn't good to "mirror" his team?

You can post both, fine by me.

My point is that you should focus more on your team than on his (your opponent). If you keep thinking "how will he play, how will he set up his 11-man squad or formation", you will just lose focus and become paranoid (like > what should I do, how shall I play etc)... It gives him a mentally advantage (Its sports psychology).
