4-1-2W-1-2 unbeatable formation

[Gilad Stern]

Hi y'all
For some reason it seems everyone ignores the 4-1-2W-1-2 formation? I am playing a 4-5-1 V style at lvl 2 with a very strong team (27 average). I have players at scout lvl too. That formation seems to beat me almost all the time. Moreover, it equals/dominates me during matches, even when my team, quality is higher significantly.

Can someone refer me to a counter formation against this devilish 4-4-2 wide (and weird) diamond formation? I must win!!

Team Info:
Orders: Attacking mentality, Mixed passing down both flanks(devastating wingers), tackling whatever, pressing own half with counter attacks (which dies not seem to profit much rather than fatigue). Zonal marking of course
Arrows: AML/AMR both UP

how about 4-1-3w-2?

[Gilad Stern]

do you mean: 4 Defenders, 1DMC, 3MC 2 ST with no wings?

[Buffs Mad]

Nope, 3W = 3 Wide = ML MC MR

Found this tough to beat also but i played 3-5-2 flat att,flanks,whole pitch,normal mixed and smashed it 4-1 twice this season and won league

4-5-1 V beat you

I normally use 4-1-4-1 with a defensive mentality and down the wings and it seems to work for me.

OK. I'll give it a try on a friendly match and update on the results

I used a weird formatin against it and it worked.I used the 3-3-3-1 formation and it worked but my favorite formation is the 3-5-1-1 formation normal tackling,mixed passing,whole pitch, play offside trap,man-to-man.i love this formation because i always score at least 2 goals, dominate in tackling and get barly any fouls plus your shot percentage gets really good.You can also attack hard in this formation if your mc are really good.
