3N-DML-DMR-2MC-AMC-2 Strikers

Any suggestions if a player plays like this

DC-DC-DC
DML-DMR
MC-MC
AMC
S-S

What can i play against this kind of formation ?

Didnt find anything at the thread about formation

This formation gives me head ache too. I've lost every game against it no matter what I use... Frustrating when the team I played against is in the bottom of the league with 1 win and that was against me... Sigh :/

Try a 3-5-2 wide diamond : DC, DC, DC, DMC, DMC, ML, MR, AMC, ST, ST with a zonal marking.

That should work very fine.

Any other suggestions how to play against this? tried 442 and it didn't work hehe

This is exacly what I'm going to try. Hope it works. :)

Narrow diamond should work quite well... if you go through the middle, his defensive wingers wont help much.

If 442 was supposed to counter this because it ignores their dml/r shouldn't 3-5-2 flat be the most effective against this?

EDIT just realized this wasn't the formation i thought it was in the OP

------ST----ST-----
---------------------
--ML--MC---MC----MR
---------DMC-----------
----DC--DC--DC----

would probably do the trick.

I lost 2-1 with this formation. I guess he was lucky because my team played like ****. Missed too many chances etc.

Next time use 4-4-2 narrow diamond. Normal mentality, through the middle, own half, short passing, zonal. no counter attack/ offside trap.

Crazy, that's like perfect counter formation for what you was against, interested in the stats, possession, shots for and against also what tactics you used, for example I only use pass down both flanks if I have 4 people on the wings, if it's only 2, like the formations with 3dmc I just use mixed.

I'm thinking about 4-1-3-2 :D
