Seems (counter) formations don't play a part anymore or if they do, a very tiny part. I also have noticed, that many users are using same formation all the time. Only changing orders.( And some managers even don't bother changing those...)

In my opinion, something has been changed since the start of TOP11 2017..it's not the same anymore.

I will also stick to one formation in future and let see, how it will work...
