how to to win against this 3-4(RM CM CM LM)-3

[Sonic J]

U do know that u can play ND easy with mix passing (only put red arrows dl and dr, then u can attack with ur dl dr as flanks, it's not just a formation through the middle..

Yea, you are right mate! I play Narrow with mixed passing. Though, I switch sometimes depending on how the game is progressing, I switch ND to 3 MCs, erasing the AM BUT my focus passing is ALWAYS mixed passing.
This gives you flexibility if your opponent has a DM.

I switched recent 413n2,before was ND, but somehow now performe better, but still put once a while red on dl dr if i see my 3mc struggle through middle passing

same for me, last season I played ND but now I have better results after switching to 413n2. Though I still play it once in a while if my opponent isn't playing a DM.
I think I will try the Red arrows on DR/L but most times, if my 3 MCs are struggling, I sub one of them for a winger and the space will open up.

[Catalin Joel]

Not necessarily. I've had great results against better teams with better players playing flanks.
I just defeated a guy who is way above me in rating 5:0 and I don't play wings. Like I said before, playing to the strength of your team is important. But what I try to do is, whatever formation I'm playing against, I try to overload the mid-field.
I play narrow but my focus passing is MIXED.

So you are saying that best result for narow, passing set mixed?

[Sonic J]

YES, esp if your opponent plays with a good DM.
Occasionaly, you might want to consider this also, if your team is struggling, try playing with 3 MCs, that is, subbing your AM for another MC and keep the passing MIXED. It gives your players flexibility of movement.
Alternating your formation during a game also gives you an advantage cuz it disorientate your opponent.

[Peter Renn]

But if u play ND with mix, make sure u put red arrows on dl n dr, otherwise no use, cause then there won't be a flank

http://forum.topeleven.com/formation...ation-use.html

4-3N-2(AML/AMR)-1,4-4-2, 3-5-2

I don't play any of these so I can't say, but I HATE that 4-3N-2(AML/AMR)-1 formation so I would pick 4-4-2 Classic!

[Nina Poppen]

i just played against an similar team, with exact the same 3-4-3 formation, and thi team was not weak at all.

i used this formation : 3-1-3-1-2.
