My previous season, i tried to counter my opponents. It worked well. This season, i play with only one and it works great too. Your choice :p
If you have a large and good team play versus oponent tactic, it works the best. :)
ok guys so using the same form does not improve the style of play of the team? I want to ask another question before a game when I do Practical match is better to use the form that put in the field to counter my opponent or does not change anything if I put another
I try to counter my opponents every match but I don't always get the results I want. When I use my own style then I win by more
as you i did the same , used a lot formations to counter the opponent and in the end i failed more then using the same formation !Quote:

P.s. every manager has his luck too :D
One person in my league uses the same formation every game and she wins 5+ goals. I try to counter and only win by 3+ goals usuallyQuote:

I think the answer depends on what time a manager can afford to spend on the game and how good is the team. If you have a stronger than your league opponents' starting eleven, than you should not bother changing formations. You could just play some versatile formation like 4-4-2 or 3-4-3. But if your team is of less quality or of the same equality than the ones you come up against, than using the right formation every game will be very helpful. Or at least that's what I think.
So you all think counter formations dont work?
They work to an extent. You also need to use a bit of knowledge on football to progress far in the game. Dont rely on counters all the time.Quote:

A counter formation explain itself on the name: its need is to COUNTER effectively a team you want to render null. But that should be intended as when you are basically weaker than the other team. When you play someone who teoretically shall pressure you, you need your eleven in a position when you can block him and -counter-.
But if you are the STRONGER team, then by logic (and when game engine allows) it should be your team to hold the ball and pressure, and your opponents to try counter your formation. Why the strong should adapt to a weak? that's why imho using the same formation usually brings better scores and results, supposing you are strong. Ofc, that doesn't mean you should not check hte other's formation and take measures where you thin is needed. IE a blue arrow on your dmc if the opponent has 3 STs and no amc. that's my 2 cents
Well, i prefer to stick with one formation playing league mode (cos you have 26 matches ahead and it is better to be stable with 1 formation), and only use counter vs stronger opponents in cup, Champion league mode especially at the knock-out round but only with stronger opponent cos this is pointless to counter weaker ones.
Uses the tactic that best fits into your players. if you have versatile players even better, you can make changes to some specific games that you think important.
