Counter for 3w-2-2-1-2

[El Pistolero]

Usually I'm ok for tactics but the cup is so unpredictable. I usually play a strong 4-5-1v but I'm going with 3w-5-2v to counter. I don't like playing one centre half but I'm gonna go for it in the first leg playing offside trap.

What that was a disappointing home game. Absolutely dominated the game and still come up 0-2 down. They must of had passed it 5 times inside my 6 yard box before shooting, almost like nordeous was mugging me off. I keep getting misfiring strikers.

Now I have an uphill battle of winning an away game. Does anything have any suggestions for an attacking formation to change counter?

Could you give detailed info about this formation?
I know that 3W means DL-DC-DR and that last number 2 means 2ST, but other numbers aren't clear to me.

[El Pistolero]

Yeah sorry.





We are equal in quality and everything was going in my favour then the two hockey style goals happened.

Counter formations suggests 3W52V

--ST--ST--
AML----AMR
--MC--MC--
----DMC---
DL--DC--DR

Tactics (mine suggestion): attacking mentality, whole pitch pressing, mixed passing, long or mixed passing lenght, zonal marking, offside trap, hard tackling.


Btw. size of your pictures is too small

That's the formation I used but 1 CB makes me nervous hence why I'm asking in here lol. I played attacking, mixed, short passing, whole pitch (Klopp style)
Counter, offside, zonal.

Sorry that about still figuring it out as I'm on ios

If CF suggests that formation and you've used it and dominated in the match, then that's it. When formation and tactics works, that usually gives advantage in ball possession, shooting, chances, but won't guarantee victory if some of players has bad day (performance)

That's it. My star players from last season let me down hugely today. My keeper made 5 saves and theirs made 1 and his keeper got better ratings.

I'll go at it again and raise the win bonus. Thanks for the help

I lost second leg 3-0. Can't believe I'm out so early in the cup.
