Please share any suggestion are ideas.I will keep this post updated.
Thanks.

Is that the formation you used in the first leg? If it worked for that 3-0 win, stick with it. Personally, I'd prefer 2 DC minimum if opponent has 2 st

Ok I will do that 2 fullback and 2 DC

My team is heading towards final.
Only quater finale and semi finale left.

5 games left :) good luck . Post the tactic and rating of your adversary

Now I have switched to 4-5-1v lol.
I keep on changing tactics per opponent.But hard defending and counter attacks with low foul are my regular basics.

1st leg of quater finale was draw,now I hope 2nd leg to be in my favour.

Was the other team better? What tactic do you plan to use for next game? I used 4-5-1 V today and won 3-2 but I have a great team so I am a little worried about next game

Yes every team is strong than me.
I used 4-5-1v but not good result.He is using 4-1-2-1-2.nd

Abhi, question. How does soft tackling work out for you? I use normal ones and I seem to giving a lot of freekicks lately which result into goals. Also, do you use full pitch pressing or own half?

I use low tackles.And low press.
Low tackles means player will tackle only when necessary. It does not means soft tackles lol.
Low press is best for keeping possession and counter attacks with defensive mentality.

Sorry,4-5-1 v isnt much impressive so I switched to 3W-2-2-2W-1.

Hi,
My oppo is very strong.His avg quality is 80.4 while mine is just 72.2.
I am planning to play with 3-2-2-2-1wd ,down the flank,hard defending,counter attacks on,low press.

His formationAttachment 64536

See in attached image he scored 6 goals against one opponent.LOL

Very curious how that match turns out. Good luck

This is not a new thing to me.But I have even defeated world class ripped squad with no pain lol

How about the arrows?
It seems that you put a blue arrow on each DMC, and the opponent chose the wrong orders (including passing through the middle).

NICE guess.Red arrow on AML,Amr,St also.

Lost first leg to 5-1.Oppo played agressively.He also injured my players.He keep on changing players when they got yellow card.Now I have switched to 4-1-1-2W-2

I was offline so he used bonus also.I failed to substitue right player in place of injured player.
Anyways its all bad luck.

What is your team composition now?

In my opinion, you would still have lost (maybe to a lesser extent - less goal margin) if your team composition is like on the picture you posted in one of the posts because it is not strong enough.You might beat a strong opponent once in a while, but it is unlikely that you will be able to do it frequently, especially if the opposing manager is experienced enough and is watching the game. On a particular season, you might win the competitions with it, but it is unlikely that you will repeat the same in the following seasons.

Yes It is also enough that I reached semi finale with this moderate team.
I hope I may win next match with big margin.

It is very unlikely though.

Last year, I have faced a stronger team (from 1 level above) playing 4-1-2-1-2 N.D. If you had a look at the composition of my team at that time, it was a strong team. I used two of the best defensive formations and tactics in this game to beat a stronger team using N.D, but the away score was 2-1 and the home score 2-2. My team was down 1-0 at home in the first half, and I returned back to the formation used for the away match, the score went 2-1, then I switch to attacking and brought it to 2-2, but there was simply not enough time to score at least 2 more goals (1 goal would not have been enough because of the away goals' rule). Maybe if I have used the same formation I have used in the away match from the start of the home match, I would have gone through to the next round or at least my team would have gone through extra time. In fact, 2-1 was not a bad score for an away match against a stronger opponent; maybe I messed it up by switching to another formation for the home match.

So, even if you manage to score a lot of goals in the next match, the question is can you stop your opponent from scoring? Probably not; and once the opponent scores 1-2 away goals against you when you have already lost the away match, the task is very difficult.

Only hope is that opponent half squad is having yellow card and some having red cards but still he manage to play lol.Lets see what happens.

Journey ends#quality crisis.

Next season may be better for our team.Good bye

Whoever have posted from the group stage of a hard CL group (Brian Dang and I) had eventually won the trophy. Sorry you broke the streak ;)
