Solid defensive formation needs breaching...

[El Pistolero]

Anyone got any ideas on this one? I've faced it twice in the Cup, and will need a counter for the two League encounters...



I've tried Narrow Diamond, 4-5-1V, Hexagon and 4-3N-1-2 and not had any luck. Mind you, neither has he Scores were 1-1 at his place, 0-1 at home, all goals from free-kicks...

Have you thought about 4-3-2w-1 and if losing change to hexagon? Focus down those flanks as you're not getting down that centre. Play mixed passing aswell to avoid running into defenders.

I beat this formation who was a level above me a few seasons ago in cup.
He actually tried to counter my ultra defensive formation lol. I played 4-2dmc-1-2w-1 long down flanks counter defensive.
It is a risk though but I kept a clean sheet when he had enough quality to kill me.
