I can't even describe this formation

[El Pistolero]

i know this guy and i beat him easily with normal 4-4-2


PS. please show me the result after using this so I can suggest this to other people next time

It's not you, is it? haha okay, I'll post the result.

[El Pistolero]

i will go to mirror his attacking formation
RB↓....CB...CB...CB (or LB)......
.................DMC↓.......
.........CM...CM...........
RW↓......................↓LW
...........↓ST...............
and attack his weaker flanks

4-5-1v then bud?

[El Pistolero]

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.

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?

so .? am interested bcz i never seen such a crazy formation !! and not sure if a DMC or AMC moved to off center will act like a winger or not?

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.

I won 1-0. His players didn't effect me really, only guy who gave me a bit of hassle was his striker. His CM went right sided slightly as my lb was denying him everything.

waw impressive possession !! wish you best of luck in the away game
i discovered, playing coutner at home never work, but work like charm when away .. beating much more stronger sides then just to lose at home 0-3 in cup !! this game have no logic at all
