I don't think table of counter formations work that well myself, probably around 70% success rate or something I'd imagine. It's not reliable and everyone should play the game on how they should play it more than anything else.Quote:

Another thing... I'm tired of seeing posting for formations help in General Chat and should only be posting in Formations and Tactics. After all... That's what Formations and Tactics are for and anyone that likes to give out their advice will sooner rather than later will post a reply.
Honestly, I don't know what so many forum members keep approaching me for advice on "How to beat this formation" when I actually dislike giving out such advice. I come here to try and make playing T11 quite creative and make loads of match reports and progress on the game more than anything else. If it wasn't for this creativity and the PvP experience of T11 I'd be playing Football Manager instead. The best examples of such creativity have came from leddy and zJordan in the leddy fc news post.
face my cup opponent who play 3W43 his tẻam, in general 2Q better than mine. i want to use 3-2W-2CM-1-2 , what do you think ?
@july: if 70% sucesful i'd say it doen't work, for you, i think you play in general with the team at least 1* lower than you, 70% is something too low.
Some interesting thoughts here about formations, personally, I believe people are posting in wrong threads as they don't get an answer from formation & tactics board, I also believe they have tried July's table of formations and found some not working and are asking for help in addition to it, I also believe they are mainly asking July, as he is our most experienced member and they respect his opinion. I myself received a PM from someone the other day asking for help with a formation, I myself only tend to ask for help when I notice a certain formation has stopped working and want to know if anybody knows a replacement or when it gets to the finals of the cup competitions and don't want to get anything wrong. in addition I have spent more time in this thread this season as I have become fed up in the general discussion board with people asking the same questions and not following the Q&A or not researching. I have noted July's comments and did not know he felt that way so will obviously respect that in future, over and out.

Last few seasons are like this :D
What i was getting at, in the original rant, is that the user i mentioned seems to use this thread as his own personal FAQ board, i mean, obviously every now and then, the more experienced users are going to ask the odd question in regards to formation etc, or opinion on a player, but asking formation advice every day, and posting pictures of about 15 players at the start of the season asking if he is a fast trainer or worth buying is going over the top.Quote:

The extent to which some members ask for advice on here makes me think that we might as well be managing their team.
I can expect it from level 1 managers, but level 3 and above, especially token buyers... i think a time comes where if you can't learn to experiment or stand on your own feet then this isn't the game for you.
Like July said, there is a reason that there's sub categories on the forum, and if people aren't replying to threads in the formation and tactics threads, then it means that most of the users in the general discussion area aren't willing to give out advice at that time, posting it deliberately in the wrong area just gets annoying.
It's not 70% for me. It's 70% in general. But yeah this season my win percentage is 70% in all competitions.Quote:

Yes, I have noticed, and I do remember helping you out and I have no problem helping as I was in that position and even now could use the odd bit of help.Quote:
