what is counter for 4W-2-2-2

[Matteo de Clemente]

Hi, i suppose your opponent formation is:

dl-dc-dc-dr
dmc-dmc
mc-mc
st-st

isn't it?


If so,consider that :

1) He has no amc at all,so a flat dl-dc-dc-dr defensive line is enough for you,(no dmc is needed for you).

2) He has only 1 player for each flank,so it's a good idea to use a midfield:

ml-mc-mc-mr (4-4-2 classical), or mc-mc --- aml-amr (4-2-2-2 hexagon),it's up to you.

3) Then use 2 st.

Remember he has replaced ml and mr with 2 dmc,so play on both flanks,to dominate flanks and make those 2 dmc wasted for him,
as if he played with 9 players.

if you play central or add a dmc instead of st, he can exploit his dmc and your amc remains in a sandwhich between 2 dmc.


4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 hexagon , target both flanks, rest of orders can be customizable according to your opponent strategy.


About countering opponent formation, I mean 3 steps:

1) Trying to prevent all opponent offensive players from having space to attack.
So i use appropriate defensive lines and,if opponent is so hard, defensive strategies too.

2) Dominate field zones he does not cover/protect (ex flanks....)

3) Trying to make most opponent players possible useless to his strategy (ex dmc).


This is not a guarantee to victory,but we should starting with making life harder to our opponent,in the meanwhile,
shouldn't we?
