How to beat this formation, please help need 2 defend 2nd place :D

[Alan Štemberga]

I can't use 3N-1-4-2 Look at my team.. My two best players are AML/AMC gosh im screwed xD

[cracicot]

then use 3N-1-3-2-1

----------ST----------
-AML-----AMC--------
------MC---MC----MR-
---------DMC---------
-----DC--DC--DC-----

Ronaldo as AML and Ozil as AMC.

Mixed, hard tackle, attacking, zonal, no counter, no offsides.

blue arrows on left and right DC, red arrow on AMC

[Alan Štemberga]

I was thinking about normal mentality, own half, mixed passing/down both flanks?

[pnr8555]

You have Falcao just like me too!

ROFL at this thread!

I wouldn't say fighting for 2nd place is a big deal. For me, if you don't finish 1st, then coming 2nd,3rd or 4th is just the same really, they all get you in the Champions League, just negligible difference in prize money.

meh, Nobody remembers anything but first, like you say, but 2nd place trophy looks better than 3rd. 4th you get nothing for your trophy cabinet, so always shoot for 2nd if you cant be 1st.

But are you sure about hard tackling? I've never used it so far..I'm getting yellow cards almost every match and sometimes even red ones, with normal tackling.

I changed to hard tackle this year as a test and I rarely get yellows. It is all about possession and counter attacks. I am not telling you to go hard tackle, I am saying that I would do it if I were in your place, because it is working for me. If he has no freekick specialist then its a no brainer, but I do it even when the other team has one, just on principle. I like to hard tackle and injure the other team. MWahahahahahahahahahaha!

Yeah that's cool, but level 24 managers.. Have all 5-6 (or even 7) star players, and all of them have immensely high shooting and crossing skills, so even withouzt a free-kick specialist, you are ****ed if u foul them during their attack
