Is it me or is it that counter formations don't seem to work as effective any more?

[July Fourth]

I don't know but I think Attacking Midfielders are not effective when playing against flat midfields anymore, Its maybe me or these game engine tweeks that have been made over the last couple of months.

4-5-1 V used to counter 3N-5-2 flat... Not anymore
3-2-2-2-1 used to counter 4-2-2-2 Hexagon... Not anymore
4-2-2-2 Hexagon used to counter 4-4-2 Classic... Not anymore
4-2-3-1 used to counter 4-4-2 Classic... Not anymore

It's gone a bit strange or have Nordeus tried to knockout the effect of counter formations usually winning against other formations? Is there a hidden Team Chemistry on what squads play when put in a certain formation?

The Jury is out! Maybe this counter formations topic is now invalid... http://forum.topeleven.com/formation...-what-use.html

This was someone losing playing 4-5-1 V, against 3N-5-2 flat which 4-5-1 V was a traditional named counter and had a 7 points worth quality difference in their favour... http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...4377-joke.html

Counter formations are perhaps starting to become flawed.
