Beat 4-3W-1(AMR)-2 ?

[Carsten90]

How to beat this sort of 4-3-1-2 ? ( DL-DC-DC-DR , ML-MC-MR , AMR , ST-ST )

It is similar to the 4-3W-3 but with a AML instead of the third ST. Thx for Help !

Illegal formation due to more than two players on the flank.

Yes, but yesterday i lost with my 4-5-1 V against a illegal formation (1 defender) with 2:1. So what formation i should use against this ?

And this guy won 5:0 against a legal formation in first pokal round.

Flat 4-4-2 and 4-5-1 V are counters for 4-3W-3, they might work this time. Your match yesterday, the team was very unbalanced towards attack, so you should have countered him with a defensive formation.

@Potemy, why do you think that 4-3W-1(AMR)-2 would be an illegal formation??

- Goalkeeper (Must be player's natural position i.e. a GK) --> should be
- Some combination of at least 3 defenders (i.e. 3 players anywhere in the back row ) --> check
- At least 1, but no more than 2, players on EACH outside flank. {the D(L/R), DM(L/R), M(L/R), AM(L/R) slots} --> check
- At least 3 midfielders (DM*, M*, AM*) at least one of which has to be in the middle row (MC, ML or MR) --> check
- At least 4 players on the opponents side of the pitch --> check
- At least 1 Striker --> check
(see http://forum.topeleven.com/formation...ion-rules.html)

I played against a weaker team using this formation (25,5 vs. 20,1) and lost two times 0:1, using 3N-1-4-2 (defensive mentality, down both flanks, pressing own half, normal tackle, long passing, no offside trap, zonal marking) and 4-DMC-3W-2 (attacking mentality, down both flanks, pressing whole pitch, normal tackle, short passing, no offside trap and zonal marking; red arrows on wingers); right now I am clueless what to use next time I encounter 4-3W-1(AMR)-2...
