Hello everyone

Most matches I choose a formation and stick to it.Quote:

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 timeQuote:

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 :)
I prefer to target the opponent's mistakes. I mostly play 4-5-1V, but I've enjoyed a lot of success against 4-4-2 with 4-3-2-1. The change in tactic I believe has won me tough games this season.
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.
I always stick to the same formation, and change the tactics and arrows depending on my opponent. The players play in the same positions, and more regularly and improve more.
I put 2 down arrows on CM and go defensive with long ball and all that stuff...or go down the flanks if they are weak there. I had on all my games this season till this morning (but the guy had a better team and 13% possession advantage). So I exploit the weaknesses with all that stuff.
I gets good result by def counter against 1DC...in case but as you said in prev post that you lost.Quote:

Yes I am not always stick to one tactic since I have variety of players with multi positions and SA so I prefer to counter my opponent's strategy rather than playing with one formation all the time :)Quote:

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 opponentQuote:

you think arrows would make effect if I put red arrows to wingers?
It probably does put a good amount of effect on one of my left wingers, Murat Kayis. He's an expert in long range shots. But it's a great attacking boost to put red arrows on fullbacks; the wingers can get in.Quote:
