Illegal formation!

[July Fourth]

It's the Number 2 formation...

I'd counter it with the Number 1 formation...

-----ST--ST--------
--------AMC--------
---------MC--------
--------DMC--------
DL--DC--DC--DC--DR

I know I should listen to you but that formation looks like I'm asking for it. The last guy to mirror this guy lost 6-1.

[Master Tactician]

It's like rugby with reversed forwards :P

[Awglan]

Any ideas how I should counter this?

He's my opponent in the Cup play-offs.

It looks like 4-2-2W-2 hexagon formation if he has red arrow on the dmc. It looks like he/she focuses on left side. 4-5-1V should do it.

Cheers Awglan. 4-5-1v is a tactic I'm most familiar with and know how to operate it to devastating affect. I think I'll go with the balanced option and hope the possession I gain from this match racks up enough goals to sail through this round.

How did the match go? I my self play 4-5-1V for the first time with normal mentality, down both flanks, own half pressure, normal tackling, short passing. No counter and offside trap. Is that a good setup? Can this formation be played with attacking mentality?

I won 1-0. Not a great result but it's a positive result. I had most of the possession but I weren't gonna go gung ho so I'm happy with the result.

Don't use the offside trap with 4 defenders. Yes, that's a good set up and yes it can be played attackive, if your quality is higher but normal works just aswell as it's a balanced tactic. Use blue arrow on your DMC if your opponent has AMC. Red if not, he supports the mids and my DMC gets a few goals this way.
