I just finished playing a 4-1-3-2. Countered it with 4-3-2-1. My first half tactics were defensive, down both flanks, own half, normal, mixed, zonal with force counter. I went down an early goal and by half time I switched out of defensive and counter. Went aggressive late in the game and sent everyone forward and got a late equalizer. Seems like every time I try to play a formation that is supposed to be the counter to the one I am facing I don't do too well. My squad was a few points better in quality and I had bonus 8% possession.
