2 defenders is suicide - you will be overrun by your opponents.
As a minimum you need 3-4 defenders, so depending on your opponents formation you would use 3N or 4.
Wow, at HT already 5-0 up and 79% possession.
I'm curious why the counter-formation for 3W-1-3W-1-2 happens to be: 3W-2(DMC)-3N-1-1 Tower, 3N-5-2 Flat
"3W-2(DMC)-3N-1-1 Tower" should be better by putting 4 in the back and taking out one DMC....
You can add the following to the table:
4-1(DMC)-2(ML/MR)-2(AMC)-1
I successfully countered this by using 3(N)-1-3-(N)-2(AML/AMR)-1 and I ended up beating a stronger opponent in the CL Final...
I ended up going with the following formation:
3(N)-1-3-(N)-2(AML/AMR)-1
Since he had no MCs and only ML and MR I decided to flood the middle with 3xMC and move my wingers forward, so AML &...
Also, since my oppenent's 4-1-2(ML/MR)-2(AMC)-1 formation is very similar to 4-3W-2AMC-1 Xmas Tree...
... where a 4-5-1 formation is recommended, then wouldn't the lack of MC in my opponents...
I just noticed that my opponent's formation does not have any MC! :) Wow, surely there is a way to punish such a formation?
Full list of counter-formations to date:
5-4-1 4-4-2 Classic, 3-5-2 Flat
5-3N-2 3N-4-1-2, 4-4-2 Classic
5-3W-2 3N-4-1-2, 4-4-2 Classic
5-1-3N-1 3N-5-2 V-Style
5-1-3W-1 3N-5-2 V-Style...
I have an opponent who is playing with the following formation:
4-1(DMC)-2(ML/MR)-2(AMC)-1
I cannot find his formation in the table, but I do see something similar:
5-2ML/MR-2AMC-1 (only...
The plan is to use this 'master thread' to seek advice about counter-formations in an organised manner.
Basically the idea is for everyone to be able to ask for advice, receive it from some of our...
Seems even longer than the list on the previous page. :)

Can someone PM me the table if they managed to copy it down/printscreen?
I ended up beating him 2-1 at a neutral venue :) , even though his team's quality is 24 and mine is just 20. I also had slightly more possession even though he was given an advantage due to having a...
No way to counter this formation effectively? :)
I have a tough puzzle here to solve as my opponent has a superior team and is playing in this formation: 3W-1-2-1-3 Narrow Diamond
Any ideas on what the best formation/strategy would be to...
