How to Win Against Any Formation?

[Kemi]

So I'm new here (hello everybody here ) and I am playing my very first season on Top Eleven. So far, it is going really well, I have a W9-D1-L0 record and I am leading the League. This evening, I am going to play at home versus the current second placed team, and he is using a weird formation but had success in his last games. He is playing:

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

Throughout all previous games, I have always played the following formation

------ST------
AML-------AMR
---MCMCMC---
--------------
DL-DC---DC-DL

and I had very few problems against most teams. But against his formation, I am not sure if this formation is too offensive. I am considering to switch the center MC with a center DMC.

My current team strength is 15,6, his is around 15,0 (can't access it currently due to server maintenance). Any advice how to play his weird formation? Is my formation good enough to win or should I totally change it?

Thanks for help

you are playing against too much attacking formation so you should use this too much attacking to counter him rightly so you can use this formation
----------------ST---------------
AML------------------------AMR
-----------MC-----MC-----------
DML------------------------DMR
----DC(UP)DC(DOWN)DC(UP)-
normal mentality ... down both flanks ... own half ... mixed passing ... counter attack ... no offside trap.
and i'm sure you will win if your squad rating is near your opponent rating

Opponent can use any formation, because i use this and i always win
ST-ST
MC-MC(up)-MC
DMC(up)
DL(down)-DC-DC-DR(down)

3-1-3-2-1
----------ST----------
AML--------------AMR
----MC--MC--MC----

----DC--DC--DC-----

Orders:
Normal mentality ... Mixed passing ... down both flanks ... whole pitch ... counter attack ... no offside trap.

Not really the arrows only work in possession.
Your V is probably the best option, 4-3MC-2-1 is a strong attacking formation that should beat that also or drop one Am and go with two strikers, 4-3-1-2

Do you think this would work?

----ST---ST----
AML------------
ML----MC----MR
DL--DC--DC--DR
-------GK-------

But how to set up tactic?

Elric put a screen shot up of your squad.

Eric put a screen shot up of your squad.

My idea:

His team:


Wich tactic should i use? Passing? etc.

Its not the best as you can only attack down the flanks, which is where most of his cover is and especially on your right it would leave you exposed to a counter through his AML.
Playing the V would also put your rear flanks under pressure if he gains control but you would dominate MF and have a more balanced attack which would stop his DR/DL getting forward.
I think this is the way to go.

Looking at his quality you far out weigh him in all areas.

I'd attack him forcing his AML and MF players as far back into his own half, your DC's look like they should be able to out run his attack so play the O/S

Attacking, Whole pitch. Both Flanks, Normal tackling, Short passing and Zonal, No counter, O/S yes.
