1. there are no Counter formations. when you Chose the right orders every Formation will beat every Formation.
2. if u want to Play 4-3-3 in this case, you should not Play defensive! the right orders are normal, mixed, own half, Long and Counter attack. arrows u can try red on all st and blue on the middle mc. These orders are very strong! i have defeated one of the best Players on my Server.
3. with more Players in ur own middlefield u can get more Possession
