How to beat 3N-2(DML/DMR)-2MC-1-2 and what settings should be used? ( I mean arows and orders)?
I have lost first match in cup 5:2. Away match. Now I have to win 3:0. I used 4-5-1 V-style. It failed. My opponent level is similar to mine.
Please help!

4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond... Attacking mentality, down the middle, mixed passing, whole pitch pressing... rest is up to you but don't play with offside trap. Arrows on AMC and your 2 strikers

[tyson3031]

How about tackling? agressive or normal?

Before anything else, set your win bonus to max. As for tactics, his formation ostensibly covers all bases, which is why it's such a widely used shape. But remember, shape is 30% and tactics 70%. You're not going to beat his shape, you need the right tactics. It would help if u had wingers in your squad(wide attackers, not wide midfielders). Go 4 across the back, a central defensive midfielder, a central midfielder, 2 wingers and 2 forwards(you need two seeing as you're desperate for goals). Forward Arrows on full-backs and wingers, attack down the flanks, play hard attacking, hard tackling, close down whole pitch, man marking, counter+offside trap. This is the best way to counter his shape but nothing guarantees you a 3-0 win. Just to put you at ease though, I've fielded weak sides in the first leg in cup previously to spare some rest packs, lost and then gone on and won the tie, winning the return leg by 4-5 goals. I don't really bother with first leg for I back myself to recover any deficit from the first leg. Last season, I lost the first leg 4-1 at home in the third round, but salvaged the tie winning 5-0 away with my first XI.

*Nota bene* I'd actually suggest starting with 2 central midfielders and 1 striker rather than 1 central midfielder and 2 strikers and then throwing on a striker for one of the midfielders if you're struggling to create. Last thing you need is having your away goals wiped out by him.

Go hard tackling... Break a few legs

Hard attacking and forward arrows on fullbacks? It is a little bit crazy....

[dv8r]

Just attacking

If you think it's crazy, you may devise your own strategy. I've beaten this shape a myriad times. The reason most people fail against it is because they don't realise this shape is essentially 3-4-1-2 with marauding wingbacks rather than wide midfielders. How do you counter marauding wingbacks? By exploiting the space behind them on the break when they go forward and by overlapping with your fullbacks when they are in position marking your wingers. Double whammy! 4-1-2-1-2 plays right into his hands. he has 2 banks of 3 and 2 guarding the middle.

Hard attacking mate, you're chasing the game from KO. Is it hard to fathom that you need to go for the jugular from the off!
