Champions League Final - How to beat unusual formations?

[sayan1@btinternet.com]

I am very nervous but excited about my 1st first CL final. My opponent always plays with unusual formations and it seems to work for him as he always wins .

At quarter final stage he played this formation:
GK- DL DC DC DR - MC MC MR - AML - ST ST (4312)

then at semi final:
GK - DL DC DC DR - DC DC DC DR - ST ST (442)

I am planning to counter him ( if he uses 4312)
GK- DL DC DC DR - DMC - MC MC - AML AMR - ST (451V)

and if he uses (442)
GK - DL DC DC DR - ML MC MC MR - AMC - ST (4411)

Do you guys/girls think these would work? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

both should be adequate. good luck!

451V is a good counter for both of his formations.

Thank you craciot and werewolf122. I will start off with 451V see how it goes. I will post the results tomorrow once the match finishes .

What about 3-4-3 with blue arrows on both MR/ML and also the two wide strikers then make it attacking through middle.

The blue arrows will make the formation be like 3N-2W-2N-2N-1.

4-5-1V is the right choice against both. Take advantage of ur player in the side he doesn't have any. If u can post ur opponents team screenshots, we can possibly predict better.

Hooray! I won it 5-2. I am well pleased with my boys I might even give them a little pay rise next season .

Just before kick off he changed his formation to 5-3-1-1 ( DR DC DC DC DL - MR MC MC- AML - ST). So Just after kick off I changed mine too. I went with 3-3-1-2 (DR DC DL - MR[blue arrow] MC MC - AML - ST -ST).

I scored first 14 min
He went 1-2 up at half time - 26 min & 33 mins

At half time I gave my MR & AML blue arrows. Changed tactics from attack to hard attacking. Everything started to change. I scored in 61, 65, 76 & 80th minutes and that's that.

Thank you to everyone who advised me. Hope your season was great as mine . Cheers.
