Weird Formation, never seen before.

[Stuptown FC]

Hey Managers,

I am playing in a league match with the team that is currently in top spot. He has a really weird formation that I have never seen here before and I cannot make much sense of it. It looks like others, with some variables switched.

Have a look:


It is like a 4-1-2-1-2, but the DMC and MC are switched. Do any of you wise managers know how to play against it?

Thanks a lot.

3dc-dmc-4-amc-st, mixed passing through flanks, zonal marking, red arrows on ml and mr. Mentality depends on quallity of your team, I would suggest normal..

simply 4-4-2 classic or 4-5-1V..

NEVER use 442 against formation with AMC!
Btw. He doesn't need fullbacks since that formation lacks wingers in mildfield, why should he play then with 4 in defence?
I use various 352/361 against 4N formations (4 defenders, narrow mildfield). I found them more effective than 451V against 4N

My fren, U should say: "In my opinion" instead of "NEVER" with capital letters... U dont even know how's the settings of your opponents..so "never say never"..Nice nite...
Example:

[Panzani]

I would play 3n-5-2V

[Brian Dang]

I would play 3n-5-2V

I also succeed to beat it with 3n-3n-2w(AML/AMR)-2 last year semi final CL but not all the time use that formation..

[besssss]

just attack flanks and goals come

@Brian Dang that is not only mine experience, but experience of other members too, it is unwritten rule (against equall Q teams)
Of course, if you are playing against bots, you can win even with 442 against 451V.
I'm talking about equal/similar Q teams. That is why for example 442ND usually destroys 442C (lack of dmc to counter amc)

U still say it is bot??? Bot even can play equally with opponent???do u really have experience in play T11? Look at the screenshot carefully..

And what u wrote now is totally different with what u comment in above.. " NEVER " MEANS IN ANY CONDITIONS/ANY SITUATIONS (IN THAT CASE EVEN BOT WILL BE INCLUDED) THAT U PLAY 4-4-2 c against THE FORMATION WITH AMC U WILL LOOSE THE GAME ...
It might be applicable for you and work for you but not the others...even sometimes here what they called TROLL involve then all formations also useless...so never say "never" ..REFERENCES ARE ALWAYS REFERENCES...




And not only you play T11...I'm managing 3 teams and till now (16 seasons)...every season.. I am always the double champion of at least a team I am managing (even last 2 seasons I seldom online becoz of work but I still can ge a double champion for 1 of my teams)...and Im the Triple winner too...But still there are a lot of managers who defeated our teams with right strategies and tactics even when their teams so much weaker then our teams...
it's all depend on your setting and your luck too..
All for you is reference..not 100% success for any formation.. and who say BOT could not win the opponent???if they are strong enough they still beat you to dead, dude..
I am not the best and so do you for sure.. we all here to play and to learn...anyway...Good luck!

P/S: U have very good formation in other topic...Nice tactic n formation..!
