    Counter Formation vs stronger team playing 4-3N-3

    Hi Guys, new to the game, playing for aprox. 10 days, currently on level 2

    9 points after 3 matches in league, playing tomorrow vs the strongest team among the 14, 9 points as well

    He plays 4-3N-3 and he has a stronger team:

    team value: - 9.4m vs 12.6m
    av. quality: 19 vs 23 stars

    defense 24.3 vs 27.3
    midfield: 21.9 vs 26.7
    attack: 20.7 vs 20

    i am playing an away match vs him tomorrow and i was wondering if some more experienced players could advise me what
    formation should i use + orders against a team like this

    browsing through the forum some people consider 4-1-4-1 as the best formation against a 4-3-3.
    is this the only option?
    is it a problem if i try the 4-1-4-1 without an MR player in my team?

    any help will be much appreciated

    You could play a AMR at MR and you may slightly lose some posession. 4-1-4-1 is probably the best defensive formation to counter or you could gamble with 4-1-3-2.

    Be advised, I haven't used 4-1-3-2 against 4-3-3 but if I was in your position i would consider those options.

    Thanks so much for your reply,


    I think im gonna gamble it since i feel my players fit better on a 4-1-3-2

    Could you - or anyone else - tell me what orders/arrows should i use for the 4-1-3-2 vs a stronger team?

    What should i change if i am losing?

    Thanks in advance

    Defensive
    Through the middle
    Mixed passing
    Low pressing
    Hard tackling (normal if he has a freekick taker)
    Zonal marking
    Counter on
    Offside off

    Good luck buddy.

    That's a good result considering you were the underdog. i dominated a game today and somehow lost 1-2

    I don't like through the middle . I like mixed . I used through the middle for ND , and I had problems . Mixed is better I think
