i dont think that tactic works with others but hey thanks for the tip...

counter formations do the trick sometimes but actually its easy to read opponents formation... shud see your opponent's player stats/ablity...how many assist...scores??? ... then comes the formation...i would suggest if you are playing a 'narrow diamond' 4 1 4 1, 4 3n 2aml/amr/ 1.... the ND lack of flanks...if your opponent stat are higher red arrow on ml mr or aml amr ...also add red arrow on dr dl... if your opponent player mc is a killer stat in scoring (see their stat) blue on 2 dc's ... i always knock them out with 4 5 1 flat mc (middle blue arrow) ...

orders hard attacking, mix pass, down the flanks, own half, zonal , force counter.... but hey remember they have these so called RNG lol...no matter how good you are you will have 'bad day' achievement he he he
