FAO Talisman - Counter Formation

[Sons of Pitches]

I don't really get how 4-4-2 ND is the counter to 3(N)-4-1-2 when the opponents defence is focused in the center.

Ideally, you would want to focus your attack on the wings to take advantage of the space to spread them out.

I would use a 4-5(V)-1 (DMC, 2MC's, AML & AMR).

-------ST-------
-AML------AMR- (Red Arrows on both)
---MC----MC---
------DMC------
-DL-DC-DC-DR-
-------GK-------

Mentality: Normal (Or your preferred choice)
Passing: Long, Down both flanks
Marking: Zonal
Tackling: (Your choice)
Pressing: Own half/Low
Counter-Attacks: On (Unless you have attacking mentality)
Offside Trap: Off

Great advice all around guys. I think my man to man coverage smothered him!
