Tactics

[Robashby]

There is a sticky on counter formations but not much on tactics and how they could be used.

For example - I have seen people mentioned using counter attacks with certain formations, however, is they any point using counter attacks when you are likely to get much higher possession?

In a nutshell, I guess I am asking how the different tactics interact with each other and possession.

Thanks

yes, I use def. + counter attack while usually I have b.p. cause I have a good team, I 'm watching my games and have at least 5 supporters.
Ball possession doesn't mean much.
I never set my orders judging from that.

Thanks Nikolgiorgos.

So counter attack would normally go with defensive play? Also, a more defensive formation? Do you just have players that suit counter attacks better?

I 'm using 4-5-1V, def/counter/flanks usually have 2 good wingers (with high quality and form) and they score a lot.
But i suppose you can use also 4-4-2 with red arrows in your MR-ML
