    strange formation to counter.

    Attachment 46386

    i thought this was illegal not sure, to have 3 wings on one side. but ball possession was 65-35% for me. i lost the match 1-3. so i need some help to get the impossible done. i was thinking about 4-5-1 flat, or go all attacking with 3n-4-3 or 4-3n-3 to exploit his lone dc. what you guys think?

    There aren't any illegal formations anymore.

    To beat this, i'd use a central attacking formation such as the Narrow Diamond. 2 MC > 1 MC, no one marking your AMC and 2 ST > 1 DC. If your 3rd ST is better than your AMC, then a 4-1-2n-3 should work too!!!

    His DML/DMR won't have much to do, if you don't attack the flanks and they're to far back in the defensive end to pose much risk offensively.

    4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond is the best choice.

    Not an illegal formation, but players playing out of position, eg Goalkeeper at centre forward...
