First leg I ended up using 451v and actually won 2-1, despite his team being 20%+ higher rates than my own. However the second game he kicked my ass 5-2. He slightly changed his formation to...

I am considering 32221 butterfly or possibly 41212 narrow diamond only because his formation seems similar to 3n52v, at least I think it's sort of similar anyway. Do you think that'd work?

I hadn't looked at his squad and it appears that he hasn't updated his team for the game yet. At least I'm assuming he hasn't since his best players are on the bench. Looks like his startes will be...

Third time I will be playing against this guy and this same formation. Seems to be working for him because I lost both games we played!

I believe I used 451v last time. At this...

I used 4-4-2 and won 4-0. Thanks for the advice.

I haven't been able to find a counter for this weird formation. Since it is relatively similar to 3W-1DMC-AML/AMR-1 I was thinking I could use the counter suggested on the tactics thread, but I need...

What did you end up going with? I have a game tomorrow against someone using the same formation

Looking for a new and ACTIVE member to join our awesome association, Bomb Squad. Currently Gold Division 3, will be moving up to Gold Division 2 at the end of the season. We are one of the best...

I ended up using a 3-5-2 V and tied with my opponent 1-1 (we were pretty evenly matched). I used Defense, Mixed Focus, Long Passing, Counterattacks On, High Press, Normal Tackle, Man-to-Man marking...

I have a league match tomorrow and my opponent is using a 4-5-1 Flat. I haven't had to play against this formation before, so I'm curious as to what tactics I should use? I was planning on using a...

I ended up going with 3W-2DMC-2MC-AML-AMR-ST with the final score being a tie 2-2, not bad considering they were much stronger on paper.. Thank you for your suggestions.

I haven't used the first formation before, I'm intrigued. What mentality, passing style/focus etc. do you suggest?

I haven't had much success in the past against this formation. I usually go with 3W-2DMC-3W-2. Just curious as to what other managers would do?

Are you in an Association? If you are, your players condition returns to what it was before your match, which is helpful.

I agree it can be semi challenging to prepare your team if you don't have...

I actually trade players often, buying several at the beginning of each season and as needed throughout. I'm quick to bench players not performing well that day, and if their bad performance...

Thank you everyone for the feedback and advice. I quite wish the Assistant Manager's advice was more precise and detailed. I know many managers who turn this option off but I'll admit I check the...

I can not tell you how many times I have played a team that is at least 15-20% worse than mine and lost... by A LOT. I'm talking completely slaughtered 7-0 with my players ratings dragged...

Good to know. Since I started this thread, I've had a hard time finding young players to buy. Every transfers list I search on has many players 23+ and maybe two or three under 22. Strange, but it...

Haha fair enough. I haven't kept players long enough to see how well they play once they're "old."

As for seeing auction players aged 29+, I assumed some were randomly created to fill space on...

Silver Division 2 and going up each season.
Currently 6 members, however many are not consistently active each week.
I'd like to secure new members first before I kick out the inactive members, so...

Good advice on not using arrows for strikers, I'm going to tey it out. Game is about to start, I'll keep the current formation and change if necessary.

**UPDATE**
I won, final score was 2-0.

My opponent has updated their formation, and a bit odd looking at that.

I should use this formation? Sorry for checking, just want to make sure I understand the best tactic to use.

I agree, it does suck. I haven't had much luck with auctions and negotiations, either. I don't mind spending money to buy 2 or 3 quality players off the Transfers list, however having to do that the...

Makes sense. I usually only keep 2-3 4 star players on my team and power train them anyways.

I've been playing both of my older players in league games with good results. They have both improved...
