How to counter 4-1-3N-2

[mrcjevans]

So with 3x CM , I checked the sticky and there's only the option against the wide variation, is it the same to counter or?

Actuallyon the table it says to try 4-3N-2(AML/AMR)-1

I'm assuming the 3N is 3x CM? Sorry I'm not quite used to all the terms yet

Yea so you have 3 CM tight which is what the N is for, when you see 3w it means 1 CM and 2 Wingers(ML/MR)

Ok cool cheers for clearing that up anyone have suggestion on the tactics? Like I would assume I should focus passing down the middle etc

No, pass down the flanks

I alwais used 4-1-2-1-2 against that and i fo not recall losing once nor getting close even. That tho if you are stronger than him. Attacking ment, through centre, whole pitch, short passes , zonal, offside on. Red arrows on amc, dr, dl, dmc . Alternatively if you are on par or weakrr 4-5-1 V with both flanks works too

[Michael Unonk]

anyway how about to face against 4-3N(MC)-1-2...???

There is a thread with counter formation (sticky topic). You find your answers there.

Going to use this tomorrow against my mates formation 4-3N-2(AML/AMR)-1

Now the quaestion is should I used a DM with red arrows or just 3 CM?

Did you try the 4-5-1V against this? If so was it literally only the passing area you changeed, can't decide on which of the two to use now, as my mai nstriker is injured and costs 14 red to fix aha!

In my league, some team use 4-1-3N-2, but always lose with 4-4-2 flat.
