My new cup opponent :)

[Ibrahim Bavari]

Hello all

So having a match tomorrow and he plays with this tactic

3W - 2MC - 3W(AMR/C/L)-2ST

he has a better quality players than mine

Iam thinking to counter him with long balls through flanks or even ND since he attacks with 5

What do you think his weakness point in this formation?

[Andrew Nifield]

Defenders are DR/C/L?

Probably playing a low press and generally defensively, so you can attack his 3 defenders on the counter attack.

[Abhinavsharma]

But we don't want to controll midfeild lol
We will low press for counter attacks,,don't you think?

Yeah, you don't want to control the midfield; you want to win the match.

In some cases, you can still control the midfield (and also the match in general), and yet you will still lose. This happens in real life football too.

Yes low press for counter this means no short passes and more opportunity to lose the ball

I will try in first half and see how it goes and tell u result in end

I won't say as I don't like to make things unfair. If I help a particular manager significantly for a particular match, this will be unfair to the other manager. I leave it to the manager (which is you in the case here) to do his own work. But, I do return the favor to some users after they have helped me in some way.

I will give you one important advice though; this applies to real life too. Never do anything blindly, especially when it comes to something important; if you don't know or if you are not sure enough, make some research and so on, and use your intelligence to make deductions and take the most appropriate decisions. Concerning this game as such, you will get all sort of advices, recommendations and so on about how to play the game, what tactics to use and so on here from users of this forum, but that does not mean every of those 'advices' is good or appropriate. Do not just 'copy and paste' things 'blindly'; you must ensure that what are you putting there as formation and orders are appropriate for facing the opponent.
