How can I topple a giant in this cup game? Help please!

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here, but have been playing the game since the end of April and am loving it! I'm in my second season and have spent a lot of time training my players as hard as possible to improve their level

I have come up against a team in the cup who is about +5 points higher than me in terms of team quality. I lost my first leg in the cup 1-0 ,so I was wondering if anyone had any tip or advice on how I could possibly tackle this giant?

A bit gutting as he has clearly spent a lot of money on the game, so was an unlucky draw, but that's the way it goes sometimes, but I want to gout fighting.

Below are some screenshots:

Would really appreciate any advice on the best tactics to use to beat him in the away leg.

I realise this probably will be difficult, but any ideas welcome

Thanks

Al

It appears your right winger is banned for a game. Is he available for the match we're talking about? Also, your other winger is injured so you need to make him fit.

He is countering your AMC so it would be best to attack his wings. 4-4-2, 4-2-2-2, 4-5-1v are all wing based formations.

Yea my wingers are available for the cup game :) .... So I think I will take your advice and try to make the most of them

Thanks for the quick responses.

Would it be a good idea to instruct my team to counter attack?

you have to go for it.....i would use a 3-5-2v formation,tactics.....down both flanks,hard attacking,hard tackling,mixed passing,press whole pitch,no offside and no counter attack,let me know how u got on,it can be done,i beat a team 2 leagues above me using this tactic...good luck

oh and zonal marking. put red arrows on your dmc, aml, amr and 2 st

Yep, I think I will use that tactic, and like you said, just go for it!

I'll come back later and update you on how I get on

Fingers crossed haha

you need to attack him in flanks but keeping back 4 save
i may go with
5-2-2W-1
or 4-5-1V

Hi,

I've lined my team up as follows, do you think this is probably my best chance of getting the win?

Should I go defensive and force counter attacks?

Flying full backs(forward arrows), attack the flanks, start with normal and change as the scoreline dictates.

Okay, thanks, I'll try that :)

So I said I would update after my match...

Despite scoring an early goal, I conceded 2 goals later during the match, which was a shame.

The change of tactic did seem effective though as I had more possession than in my home leg,

Just the way it goes I guess, but thanks for all the responses :)
