What do you all mean with countering the orders?

[talisman]

The only thing you can counter is the opponents formation, if you believe the Counter-Formations tables.

You can only guess at what the opposition manager has asked his team to do, but usually you can guess from his initial formation, position in the competition, etc - if he is an active manager.

The difficult ones are the abandoned teams, some a******e ex-managers leave idiotic orders with their teams that the engine is only too ready to take advantage of, which is one of my theories about Troll results.
