Deciding between 2 and more proper formations

[felix11sk]

Hi there,

I'd like to ask how to decide when you have 2 or more proper formations that have a good chance to counter opposite formation.

Let's have an example:

I am playing a cup against a strong team, his formation : 4-1-3N-2 , I chose 4-4-2 with red arrows on my flanks. The opponent team got a red card in the 23. minute and I scored on 3:1 . I thought that it's over, but he tied 3:3, fortunately , I shot a last goal in 88. min so I won 4:3. So, I was at home , watching the game , he got the red card and I only won by 1 goal.


Next game I am playing out and I can't lose. Because he shot 3 goals out which is a lot.

To counter 4-1-3N-2 there are several more good formations to counter , for example 4-3N-2(AMR,AML)-1

So, the question, how do you decide which formation to use when you are some more options ? What would you do in my case ?

Thanks

Yesterday I had match against similar quality team that uses 4-1-3n-2. My setup for match: 4-3mc-aml/amr-1, normal ment., mixed passing, own half pressing, zonal marking, red arrows on wings - good counter on paper! HT: opponent lead 0-2 so I changed formation: 3n-2mc-aml-amc-amr-1, attacking ment., full pitch pressing. FT: 2-2


If your opponent has way more shoots, change formation, learned that hard way:
