    nothing works agains 4-2-2-2 hexagon

    I'm playing a guy who uses the dreaded 4-2-2-2 hexagon:
    goalie
    RB-CB-CB-LB
    CM-CM
    RAM-----LAM
    ST---ST


    I tried using 4-5-1V vs this team (who is as strong as me) before but it didn't work. Only 1-1 at my arena.
    NBow it's time for the away game and I thought I'd ask for some advice. Please don't rfer me to the counterformation thread coz i've tried that one many times and it usualy doesn't work.

    Actually 3N-4-1-2 works perfectly (and it is in that thread).

    Thanks!

    what kind of orders should i employ? i am the away team so im guessing Normal instead of Attacking mentality is good when trying to attack through the middle?
    Short or mixed passing?
    Should i force counterattacks?

    Well, when I play 3N-4-1-2 (almost always) and need to win I set attacking mentality, whole pitch press, force counterattacks and everyhting else just default.

    aha i see, so you choose to play Mixed as to where the passing should go, not through the middle?
    And how does that work out against teams as good as you?

    I choose mixed over through the middle because I also have red arrows on ML, MR, AMC and both ST. And in general I set passing through the middle only if I play 3MC+AMC or DMC or when the opponet has really weak midfield like of only 1 MC.

    Edit: 3W-1-4-2 may be even better if DMC an MCs go back to help defend.

    It's also very much depend on the quality of your team vs ur opponent...tactics is 1 thing but if your team so much weaker than just pray is the best solution...just joking...anyway...nice weekend!

    hexagon can be beaten by: 3dcs-dml-dmr-3mcs-2sts or 3MCs-dml-dmr-4-1..2 seasons ago..I were using those 2 formation against hexagon all the way to CUP final..
