Table of counter formations is wrong about 451V

[Josip Crncic]

I have played two league games against this guy, first was a lucky draw for me and second 3:0 on halftime, it ended 3:2 after he switched to a "Mourinho bus" and me to 433. In both cases I used 3N-2(DML/DMR)-3N-2 recommended in the counter formations table. Our teams are similar strenght, almost equal. Where's the problem? Why can't I stop that damn 451V? I noticed that his wings are key ofcourse, especialy right one, he's killing me from the wings. Another interesting thing is that he has extremely high number of counter attacks in matches. Any advice?! I have to play him in CL semi finales soon!

Here is our last match and our teams atm.

4-5-1 V-Style is one of the strongest formations imo...
I myself have had lots of troubles with this formation. But since I've switched to 4-1-2-1-2 ND it's working quite well

Can you give me detailes please? Private message is fine if u would like to share it just with me

[Mr. Marco]

Orders or what do u wanna know?

[Josip Crncic]

Yes please, Arrows I can see in your "team showcase thread".
If you change them for each opponent then tell me just against 451V.

[Mr. Marco]

Alright, that's how I use to play against 4-5-1 V-Style:

Attacking mentalitiy, passing focus through the middle, whole pitch pressure, hard tackling, mixed passing style, zonal marking, and neither counter attacks nor offside trap. Red arrows on DL and DR. Blue arrow on DMC.

Oh wait, Table of counter formations says that 451V is counter for yours 41212ND!
Am I crazy or what?!

[Mr. Marco]

LOL!! I don't give a sh*t on counter formations^^
For me it works well like that, so why should I change it?

[Josip Crncic]

I agree of course. Thanks, I'll try it

I hope it works for you as well! I wish you good luck!!
