A question for players on high lvl... How do you think about "counter formations"?

[Tactician]

Attacking, long passing and counter attack...please don't help ppl with orders

Jan, what would you put against the formation I have mentioned above?

3-5-2V or 4-5-1V.
I'll go 3-5-2V thru flanks, attacking, short passing, hard, whole pitch, no counter, no offside, zonal
blue arrow on one mc, red aml/amr
but depends on strenght of teams

I faced this advanced diamond formation twice so far against the same opponent. The opponent is of lower quality, but he caused a lot of problems. He scored 5 goals in the two matches combined. He scored 2 goals in 1 match despite playing with one man less for about one half.

Actually its almost 4-1-2-1-2ND so I'll counter it same way

Yes, but this one seem to counter the V version of 4-5-1 and 3-5-2, given the amount of problems he caused despite his team is of lower quality (by at least 1 star).

Attack through the middle bud... Could try 4-1-3n-2. Get the possession in the midfield and see if they able to create the chances. Your opponent obviously likes 4-1-2-1-2 ND but was getting beaten by the v formations, so moved up his DL/R to DML/R, which we all know is able to handle the AML/R.

I thought of using 4-1-2-3 against him for the 2nd match. But, I did not take the risk.

Jan and Kylos: thanks for the replies.
I still can't find how he scored so many goals though because at the back it should have been solid with the V-style formations.

DML/R can handle AML/R and DL/R no... nordeus logic...

I can't believe DML/R countering AML/R so much better than DL/R that V formations aren't effective. So 4-1-2-3 with long passes
