How to Win Against Any Formation?

[joeleyf]

Up against a fantastic team next round of the Champions League. His rating is about 38 and mine about 32.4.

He plays with a 4-1-2-3 and seems very attacking. Which formation should I use to counter him and what instructions?

He plays:

DL----DC-----DC-----DR
-----------DM----------
---------MC----MC------
----ST-----ST------ST---

You can use 4-3-2-1

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

Although there is no DMC with the 4-3-2-1 it is still a very effective attacking formation to counter the opponent with, mainly because of the strong middle as well as having attacking flanks.
If during the match you feel that he is taking advantage in attacking, then a simple (DOWN) arrow would be placed on the middle MC which in turn effectively would be turning this formation into a 4-5-1 V Style.

no counter attack ... offside trap ... down both flanks ... mixed passing (1st half) ... long passing (2nd half) ... Attacking mentality ... whole pitch.

you will make a positive advantage inshaa allah

after the game post your result here

3-1-4-2 and 3-1-4-1-1 using normal mentality, zonal marking, own half, short passing, normal tackling, no counterattack and no offside trap.

Thank you Adel but Through Middle or Down both flank ?

I just suffered a draw against this odd formation against a team 16 points lower than me. I am now assuming that due to my first blemish, the other teams in my league will use this formation...

----DC-DC-DC----
DML---DMC---DMR
--------------------
---AMC---AMC-----
----ST----ST-----

How do I counter with this? The game ended 3-3 and luckily I had the game tying goal when I was forced to use hard attacking at the end.

4 4 2 classic
Order: normal mentality ... mixed passing ... own half ... down both flanks ... counter attack ... no offside trap.

my post doesnt seem to show up with screenshots so allow me to retype all of it:

Hey Adel, I would like to have your opinion on how to counter those formations m8
Both matches will be played at my home.


Formation A: this is a league match, hes ranked first and I am ranked third, just need to win..

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

[/I]

Countered by 3-2-2-2-1

DC-DC-DC
DML(UP)-DMR(UP) (If using DL/DR as DML/DMR, remove the red arrows)
MC-MC
AML-AMR (Red arrows if AML/AMR also play as strikers and you want some extra punch)
ST

Short passing, through the flanks, attacking mentality, zonal marking,
pressing whole pitch with offside trap.
OR
Own Half, counter attack, defensive, mixed passing

Formation B: this is a cup rematch, first leg at his home, I got 1-1

---------ST--------
--------------------
ML------MC------MR
DML----DMC----DMR
-----DC-DC-DC-----

My team has equal quality to those ones and I use to play 4-5-1 V motivated AML/AMR, but I can follow any given formation if my current is not that good - Thnx in advance!

Use 4 4 2 classic
Orders: Normal mentality ... short passing ... own half ... counter attack ... offside trap.
