Cup final against a beast team.

[TacticalMaster]

Hi, I am having the cup final against a really strong team who have used many formations the past few games. It will be a though one to beat but I will give a 100% for the win. I will provide you guys with all the information about my team and his that is needed. I followed his matches closely and I found a few weaknesses.

First of all this are our teams:

first of all my team:

His team: Recoba makes the assists and takes the corners while Harrington scores. Chivu seems to be his stopper.

Comparison:

He started the cup using 4-4-1-1 but later he started using other formations including a few counter formations. I will show you the formations he has been using:




He beated a 38Q team while he was only 33Q level 4 vs level 6




His weakness where I talked about is that he doesn't change his formation while the match is hold. I believe he doesnt change orders during the match and in this way he is not flexible. He didn't even change his injured players. So with 3 fresh players I could make a differance. Also I am thinking about tricking him into a counter formation I will counter. Since he doesnt change his formation while playing I will start with a very weak and easy formation to be counter than when the match begun or 3 minuts before the match I change it against the counter formation of his currect team.

Do you guys have any tips or hints in beating this guy? What is his weakness formationwise? How should I play? Do I need to invest in a 39Q player in a particulair postion to be able to beat him or should my currect formation in a counter formation be good enough? Thanks for reading this far and thanks in advance for helping me

Don't buy a new player, as it seems they never seem to perform right away. As for your opponent he doesn't watch the matches, which is why changes are not made. But be careful as it is the final and he might decide to watch. I would say post a completely different formation then what you would usually play with to try to get him to change his formation early. Then switch back right before. Otherwise you never know what will happen in a final. 2 seasons ago one of my players got a red card with the game tied, and we scored with a minute left, so you just never know! Good luck though!

Actually he does watch them but hes just not doing anything. Thanks, but assuming he will keep his last formation 3n-2w-2-1-2 what formation should I use in match? And what formation shouldnt I use? Than I will select the formation wich is weak against it today and I will select the counter formation tomorrow. Never played 3N-2w-2-1-2

I would try 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond against this formation.. Try do as RJSlow said, use 4-1-2-1-2 nd first half then switch back to ur formation...

4-1-2-1-2ND suits my players pretty well, noly my ML will be excluded wich is my free kick specialist. Should I replace a 39Q mc for a 35QML with free kick ability? The ML also got shooting and crossing (dunno the english word) fairly high (50points). Also what formation would you guys recommend using as decoy to ensure he will infact use the 3n-2w-2-1-2?

Change the ML for the MC.. Regarding the decoy, i think 4-5-1-v style, as the counter formation for it is 3n-2w-3n-2 which is almost the same formation as what he is using... Good luck with the match and post the result...

[TacticalMaster]

Okay guys he changed his formation to 3n-1-2-2w-2 How should I play against this? I'll make a new thread for this since it is another formation
