[dylankoh]

Am I right to say that to counter middle attackbased formations we shld ccounter like for like?

Fadhul17, what team orders did u use for 3222?

Attacking mentality, down both flanks, whole pitch, short passing. No counter attack, yes offside trap. And also Up to your aml and amr.
The result is ..




Just try out 4-4-2 ND, and the result is ..



Order : Attacking mentality, through the middle, own half, short passing, normal tackling, zonal marking, no counter attack/offside trap. Up to your dl and dr.

How about DMC and AMC. Do you use the red/blue arrow or nothing, fadhu17?

I'm glad to help you ^^

I will try to do the same in today's CL 1/4 in half an hour
Result will be posted

Looks that formation doesn't work any more. I've won only 4-1 ))
It looks that 5* MC on AMC position is better as 4* AMC

fadhul17, thank you!

Indeed 4-4-2 ND seems to be a secure variant against 4-3-3... I won with 5:1

Looking through some cup results it seems that the 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond wins.

I lost using a flank based formation and so did the CL finalist last season. It seems the only way to beat it is through the middle.

U r right. Logically, 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond with long passes through the middle and attacking mentality is the best way to beat 4-3-3. That's what I did against my cup 1st round opponent today whose team has the same quality as mine and has less S.as. It was home 4 me and we both were watching. I had more possession but yet I lost 4-1. I scored in the 5th minute and all was going well till 25th minute when he equalised. And then there were goals after goals. I seemed to have no control. I got irritated by the game engine in the 70th minute as I was 3-1 down and so sent in an AMC in place of one of my MC. Made no difference!!! After match when I looked at the ratings, my lone scorer striker got 8, my other players got 6-7 and my Goal Keeper got.............. gues what!!!................wait for it...........4. I mean, my goalkeeper is the highest rated player in my team and was gr8 last season. And this is the first time that any of my player has got a rating of 4!!! The lowest I had seen be4 was 5.
So, I short I will say, that choosing ur formations and tactics are just a way to make u feel that u control the game. Actually, the real control of the game is in the hands of the pathetic game engine which does what it wants. Last season I lost to teams 10Q less than me and now I lost my first match of the season which happened to be the home leg of the cup match to a team whose formation I had totally countered!!!
