4-2-3-1

[abhi ghose]

Hi guys, so i want to try out a new formation. it's the 4-2-3-1 that is as follows
GK
DR DC DC DL

MC MC
AMR AMC AML
ST
my only problem with this formation is that my 5 mid and ST are lined up in the opposition half. Will it leave me defensively fragile since i usually play a 4-5-1 V which has a DMC unlike this formation. Also, should the 2 MC have down arrows?
Or would a 4-4-2 give me more solidity than this formation?

Thanks in advance

Personally I will use 4-2-3-1 only if oppo does not use AMC.

When I use it I play it with following arrows:
UP arrow: wing defenders/attackers
DOWN arrow: DCs and MCs

If oppo has DMC I play from flanks, if not I go mixed.

It is a good formation and sometimes it counters very well the 442flat

it depends from oppo quality and a good/bad day.
If you have one good DC , you can set 3Dw-1DMC

I don't use arrows to MCs.
Maybe put later in the game, depending from the result.

But do u think this formation can be used as a defensive tactic especially when faced with stronger opponent?,reason is I use this formation against strong teams and I kind of find it hard to win or could it be my tactics in the match?
My tactics when faced with strong teams with dis formation is:
Defensive mentality
Focus passing down both flanks(or thru d middle if opponent doesn't have a dmc)
Passing style short
Force counter
Low press
Hard tackling
Zonal marking
No Offside trap
Pls review dis is there anything that should be changed
In addition,I put red arrows on my aml amc and amr as well as my dl and dr,thanks

Although when facing teams where I'm better than them in quality I use attacking mentality focus passing down both flanks short passing high press no counter and no offside trap.I switched from 4_2_3_1 to 4_4_1_1 and 4_1_4_1 but it seems that my team doesn't like or tend to suit that style so I use d 4_2_3_1 formation and decided to stick with it but it's d tactics aspect that I'm always getting wrong but I believe that I'm learning every day as I watch d game

I start matches with orders by default and then I change these,

When you say:

Defensive mentality...... I start Attacking
Focus passing down both flanks(or thru d middle if opponent doesn't have a dmc)... I start focussing in right side, if do not work switch to left
Passing style short... I start long and last seasons Ive played always long
Force counter.... Counter ON
Low press.... always High press
Hard tackling.,.... here normal
Zonal marking ... man to man forevah
No Offside trap.... Offisde ON

+ 2 blue arrows for the DC's and 8 reds.

Here my strategy by default.

yes, that's why I write that it depends from oppo quality. If he is strong, no.

Passing style short
Force counter

hmm, no. short passing doesn't fit with counters (on paper of course).
better mix

Hard tackling

risky vs high q oppo. Maybe too many fouls and dangerous F-K.
Better m-t-m

haha definittely can't play this versus a team with a AMC.
Would you play this formation against a better team?

If you have one good DC , you can set 3Dw-1DMC

I don't use arrows to MCs.

thank you!
