Tomorrow I'm going to play my first final after 22 seasons lol and I would like to know if you could help me against this (stronger) team.
He's using 4-3-1-2 Attachment 23789
Could you tell me how I should set the arrows/orders and which formations I should use between:
4-4-2
4-1-4-1
4-1-3-2
4-5-1
Thanks in advance :D
I'm playing in the CL Final against this same exact formation tommorrow. I'm not sure what the counter is and was about to create a thread asking the same thing.
I'm planning on running a 4-1-4-1 motivated though. My match is at 10:00 EST, if you'd like I can post the result here.

4-5-1 V, normal mentality
If i don't late for answer, give a try with 5-1-2-2. Him will have problem with your deffense. And you, will have the chance to pass the ball for goal.Quote:

Good work and congratulations for your win!
I hope your match went well. Sorry for not replying sooner, I didn't see the reply.Quote:

I jumped ahead early, then he was reduced to 10 men before scoring goals in the 33rd and 66th minutes. I immediately switched to 4-1-2-1-2 ND after the 2nd goal, he went down to 9 men in the 77th minute, then a few minutes later punched home the 3rd goal to seal it.
I had red arrows on DL/R, ML/R and DMC. Blue arrows on both MC in 4-1-4-1. Defensive mentality, down the flanks, pressing own half, mixed passing and counterattacking.
With the ND it was red arrows on DL/R, DMC and both MC's. Attacking, whole pitch, through the middle, short no counter or offside trap.
Hopefully this win will get the monkey off your back and you will go on to win many more
I'm sorry. However you can try again next year :)Quote:

Good luck to you this season!
Hi pcmacdaniel,
It's my second post in the forum after introducing myself a few days ago. So I'm not quite fond of how the forum works, but after reading your posts in this thread, I'd be glad if you could tell me how it worked your 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 hexagon against 4-3n-1-2.
Actually, tomorrow I'm playing against a team that will probably use 4-3n-1-2. He hasn't lost a league match this season, and i could catch up with him if i win the game (only one defeat so far for my team). We're quite balanced. Maybe my team is a bit better, but i'm playing away.
I'm thinking about using 4-1-4-1, with red arrows only on ML and MR. I'm also thinking about starting deffensive and change to regular depending on how the game goes.
The other orders will be: attacking both flanks, mixed passing, own pitch, no counters, no offside.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Btw, if anybody else wants to give his advice, sure it will also be helpful.
Good luck everybody from Spain!
You could use 4-1-4-1 but i would suggest using 4-5-1 v style to put more pressure on his flanks. The rest of your orders seem goodQuote:

Anyway, I'll post this afternoon my final choice and orders.
Thank you again.
Hi again guys!
I've just played the match and i got a 0-1 win. Not very brilliant score, i know, but it allows me to jump to #1 as i've beaten the leader.
About the formations: actually during the day, my rival changed his formation from a 4-3N-1-2 (i didn't know whether to use 4-1-4-1 or 4-5-1 V style, and that was causing me headaches) to a 5-2-1-2 X style. He switched a 4* MC for a 3* DC.
By doing so, i assumed he was trying to play defensively (a tie would leave him still alone on top), so in minute 4 before starting the game, i changed my formation to a 3N-1-4-2. And it worked:
Attachment 24290
Attachment 24291
Orders: both flanks as he had no players there, mixed passing, own pitch, no offside, no counter. I started with defensive mentality, scored minute 7, and switched to regular mentality from minute 20, just to see if i could see if i could get a bit more punch. But things didn't really changed, and as my team was performing quite well, i played with regular mentality till the end of the match.
Nevertheless, i must improve because my rival didn't attend the match, and i had the support of a friend so i got extra possession. Maybe that was the small difference that made me win, as the game was actually quite balanced.
Anyway, thank you all for your help and good luck!
Sorry for not replying sooner, I was away from the computer due to work.Quote:

I won the games by scores of 3-0 and 3-1 respectively.
Congrats on your win!!!
