Season 73 - Week 3

Try 3N-5-2 V

That's what the guide says but it sounds risky. I'll give it a try, I have more quality anyway.

Just now remembered I played 4-4-2 in the first leg of Cup semifinal, won 3-0. Whenever I have doubts I play 4-4-2. But that isn't really a counter.
You can field 3 DCs since he doesn't have any winger. Also I suggest to field 3 MC. So it turns out to be 3-3-2-2. I'm very afraid to ever field that, so another possibility can be 4-3-2-1. But then put red arrows on fullbacks since they don't have to mark anybody.

Anyone know a good counter for 4-5-1 flat?

I have played with my second team with 3w- 3n- 2 (aml/amr) -2 for a couple of matches. Every time a big win.\

You could try 3w-5-2 v style instead 3n

Thank you. I've had bad experiences with 3w so I'll stick with narrow and hope for the best.

Anyone know a good counter for 4-5-1 flat?

Had a few games this season against it, try mirror didn't work tried 3w-5-2v draw, didn't tried anything narrow, maybe ND or even a strong 4-4-2 will do too.

I can't play 4-4-2 but I can play a good narrow diamond but 3 in centre while he's playing man to man would worry me.

Well advice you not to play 3w as it doesn't work anymore, maybe 4-3-2-1 w , I never tried but it looks good

Maybe can the butterfly counter it. I have never tried that

4-3-2w-1 sounds good. I'll match him in center and my best players on the wings might grab me the goals.

Maybe can the butterfly counter it. I have never tried that

I think 4-5-1 trumps it, doesn't it?

Atlético Kolkata Day 22 & 23 Report

Day 22: In Cup, the first leg I always to win by 4 goals with a clean sheet. But 3 goals is also good enough to play defensive in the 2nd leg. Entwisle headed from a Rose corner in 40', while Rose himself scored just before the break. Esteban Soto was the super sub, replacing Moore. He added the 3rd in 83', making it 3-0 and easing off pressure from the team. Once again, the MOM goes to Luke Rose.

In the league, GK Muhammad Ishorik got his first start — not that great, since he conceded in the 21'. In the second half, Soto levelled the score in 51'. 10 minutes later, Paul headed the winning goal, once again, by a Rose corner. After that, some excellent defending led us win. The MOM, however, was Rhys Ramsey. Other than him, no one was consistent.

Day 23: The crowd at Boulevard Park was thrilled as Atlético Kolkata thrashed a tanking team 9-0. Colm Moore opened our account in 22' and again scored in 26'. After that he assisted Franco twice in 34' and 43' and Azouni once in 38' before getting subsituted in the 50', to prevent fatigue. Defenders Jung-Shin Kim striked in 51', just before his substitute Sulaiwa came. He also netted in 81'. The other 2 came by Azouni (Franco) in 64' and Franco (Rose) in 74'. Though Moore couldn't complete his hattrick of goals, he had a hattrick of assist which made him MOM. Franco netted a hattrick. This win boosted our morale for the upcoming crunch game.
