A more challenging formation strategy question there

This is a typical left-flank-skewed attacking formation (to overpower any opponent who did not have a strong right flank defence).

The solution is a bit more unconventional as well. We also go left-flank-skewed though differently.

4-1-3-1WL-1ST(ST placed at ST/AMC/AMR corner).


The rationale is to use 3 right sided players & DMC to match the no. of attacking players. With opponent playing a 4DC+DMC, ST placing central has very little attacking value, so we may well use him to act as the 3rd right-sided player and also satisfying formation requirement with at least 1 ST or AMC.

DL push up & move central to consolidate DMC area defending. MC & ML should be in the distance of 1:2 against opponent MC, so opponent MC is forced to defend MC (very easy to get double-yellow), so our ML practically goes free attacking with DL & AML (3v1 on left flank).


If opponent AML & AMC are just way too strong, then we should play an extra DMC instead of DL, with both moved further right to cover as much space on the right where applicable (becomes 4v3). ML moves back to DL region to help cover, and AML should be placed in the equidistant location of opponent DR & MC (so both cannot mark him properly). [The most ideal player choice here is a DL/DC/DMC, so you could move him along depending on the flow of the match].
(Another possible 2 players’ combinations are DL/DC & DC/DMC, so each moves 1 position to move right to consolidate defence when needed)



Wish you all the best with CL match there!
