4-4-2 strange

[Philip L. Willis]

Hello,

I'm a beginner so please help me this time ...my next opponent have a better team but somehow a strange formation:



Since i play for like 3 days i don't have a good team ..so i was thinking to use a strange tactic too:



- orders will be to attack on the right flank, red arrows on AMR and ST

What do you think and what are you suggestions ?


Thank you

I'm sorry for the constant re-edit, because there are many Good Managers on this board, so I better do my best and give good advice, they WILL pick me to pieces, if I don't. Well Judge for yourself.

Before we get into formations, why do you have so many injuries? Are you killing them with over training or play 'Easy tackle' against equal or stronger team? If so, DON'T, just play every player at least once a day; competition, friendlies or practice match. If the player only plays once a day then just normal train him cardio once and stretch once or twice, you're good, till the next days match or matches.

As for why his is playing a strange formation, he has NO DL, not a genius manager move, just using what he has. DO NOT follow suit!

4-5-1 V-style is great, BUT you don't have a AML! Narrow Diamond 4-1-2N-1-2 is killer attack, BUT again you are missing one DL.

So really from your screenshot play a 4-1-2N-1-2;

_____GK______
DL__DC_DC__DR ...... I know DL is injured too, just put the DR/DMR at DL !
_____DMC_____ <= Down Blue, yes outta of position DML or DMR.
____MC_MC____
_____AMC_____ <= Up/Red
____ST__ST____

He is lobsided and a MC is out of position at the back, you will get possession bonus for that!
Attack always attack, {Attack, Up Middle, Own, Normal/Hard, Mix, Zonal}
No offsides, I always Counter (up to you)

Option 2

_____GK______
___DC_DC_____
DML______DMR <= down/blue
ML_MC__MC_MR <= Up/red the wings
_____________
___ST__ST____

Strange but none of your players are out of position, you will definitely get some possession advantage with this! Orders {Attack, DBF/Mix, Own, Normal/Hard, Mix, Zonal} No off, counter.

He looks just from the screenshot stronger than you, good luck..... Peace.
