How would you play against your opponent?

Hello everyone

how do you set up your formation for matches? do you play on your strength points like strong winger or your opponent weakness like 1 DC?

Most matches I choose a formation and stick to it.
If I have a hard match, then I set a counter formation.
I don't know much about countering formations but I'm still learning more and more.
The easist way to counter a formation is to use man marking and then copy his STs, AMs, MCs with your defenders and DMs, MCs then counter his defense.

This works against teams in league but in CL and Cup matches it is not working well with the same formation all the time

I have noticed that using same formation in H&A matches in Cup or CL doesn't give you good results for example if you win 3-1 against opponent in cup first leg with 4-5-1 V then using same formation wont bring you the result in second leg even if he uses same formation

I have never noticed that..I stick to the same formation for both legs

It happened to me more than once I had to change tactics in second leg in order to qualify for next round and sometimes I could qualify because the advantage of scoring away although the other opponent plays same tactic,,,,,perhaps it's Nordeus effect

You can't stick to a formation for ALL matches.
I said above if I had a hard match then I will change my formation unless my main formation could counter the opponent's formation.
However one formation can give you very good results for a season if your players perform well in their positions.
For example, I played 361v till the half of the season then changed to 352v after having some strange results.

Yea for me like I said before sticking to a formation in CL and Cup games in knockout games usually give me bad results so i have to change tactic from game to game against same opponent
