3 at the back

when people say 3-5-1 flat do they mean 1 dc and 2 fb or 3 dc? like it appears on the forum most would go with a dl and dr? but obviously irl it would be 3 cms, just checking as about to play against 4-5-1 flat

Please stop typing positions like that, it makes for difficult reading. We don't use "fb" in T11, we use DL and DR. At least put it in capital letters.

To answer your question, I would think 3 DCs, but sometimes people will tell you 3W or 3N, which means wide or narrow.

3 DC's with a DML/DMR will never let you down!!! also having 2 ST's seems to be a complete wast of space in my team anyway!!!

What kind of tactics would you use with that? and yeah sorry about the Acronyms before I'm used to other games obv, only been playing this mere days. But getting like a set of notes of formations counters etc

[kilkenny-rugby]

defensive counter attack for stronger teams and attacking for weak teams. thats all you need,just dont forget to switch to attacking when you play weaker teams,as i have lost games when i failed to do that!!!
