The table of counter formation not always correct!!

[Matteo de Clemente]

Hi,

I followed the table of counter formation today but I lose, my opponent was playing 4-3W-3 and I was playing with 4-5-1 V-Style as the table suggest I don't know why!!?? has anyone have as explanation please?

Finally How to counter him next (CL) match?

TIA

Hi,I've often had same issue vs formation using 3W midfield and amc-st or amc-2st or 3st.
It depends on dmc performance,as he has to counter both central mc and amc or central st (if opponent uses 3st),
and he often misses them.

On the other side,my 2 mc seemed not to care about central opponent mc,that's why,when using v-style,
one of my mcs is placed central,so to force oppoent mc to play defensive and not supporting attack.

otherwise 3-1-4-2 or 3-3W-2-2 and variants with amc,can be used.

This issue with opponent mc, also creates destabilization on flanks, where opponent ml and mr are constantly supported to finalize.

About orders,it's often said that if you let those kind of teams play,they're really hostical,so offensive strategy should be preferred to defensive one, depending on how strong they are.

I generally start defensive ,switching offensive when required. In order to avoid risks coming from pressing ,i use short pass and play flanks.

However,if you absolutely need scoring lot of goals,switch mixed or central
