How to beat 4-3w-1-2?

Labas Mantas

I'd use 4-1-4-1 against that formation.

Hi sdw,
Need your professional advice.
I lost 2-1 away to an annoying formation 3N-3DMC/DMR/DML-2MC-2ST on a 1st leg CL game today. I'm 36.8* and his 38.6*. Although my possession was 52 over 48; I got a red card for my DMC at 79 min and lost the penalty there. gee. I used 442 normal mixed hard mixed and no counter and no offside.
I will be facing this annoying formation tomorrow night. Hope I can beat this with your help.
Any suggestion would be great for my home game against this annoying team.
Cheers!

any thought? 5-3-2 defensive?

2. Never use red arrow on your DMC.In many threads I've read that a lot of players use red arrows on their DMC's in 4-5-1 V style formation.This is big mistake.Counter-attacks with strong AMC will allow you to lose very easy.I tried it many times for almost 3 years and I didnt see positive effect.

But if our opponent is not using a AMC its ok to use red arrow on DMC right?



If you are using AML/AMR and Passing: Down both flanks
Is it a bad idea to use a AMC also?
At the same time if you are using AMC and Passing: Through the middle
Is it a bad idea to use AML/AMR?
Is the only time I should be using AML/AMR+AMC when I use Passing: Mixed?



If opponent is using ML/MR wingers is it ok to use red arrows on my DL/DR?
Only time I should not use red arrows on DL/DR is if my opponent is using AML/AMR?

Yes, if the opponent doesn't have an AMC or 3 STs, then it's usually quite effective to put a red arrow on a DMC, he will act as an MC.

What do you suggest to counter 4-1-4-1?
What tactics?
I'm thinking 4-2-2-2, pressing the whole pitch, passing both flanks, marking zone, no counter with red arrows on my DL, RL, AML, AMR...

Do we need more urban legend threads, really?

[Betova14]

No,you'll stop his attack but you'll hardly score.Use 3N-3(DML/DMR/DMC)-2-1-1

I will try your recommendation but what orders?, mentality, passing?

Thanks!
