[Official] Challenge #4 - Beat The Special One Challenge

[Niddhoeggr]

Well, unlike some of the contributors here in this thread, I do have some problems to take the first place in the competition. ^^


There are only 5 players attending at least some of the games but me and the two best on the ladder are constantly playing. I lost one game and had some draws and therefore the first place is out of reach. But its alright, I don't want to nag. I think its quite fair (despite the draw maybe) but what I don't understand is, why Mourinho's team is sometimes so unbeatable. At first I changed the formation beforehand each match and it did not work very well. Afterwards I switched to 451V (as I read here in the forum^^), but it got worse. The fluctuation in terms of results is in my case quite huge. Sometimes I win 7:0, sometimes I can smell the draw in the first minutes of the game.

However I think I've learned something: There are some formations with whom I have huge problems to win. For example "4-4-2" is one of them. I think I have by this time a feeling how to counter a formation, but there are some with which I am really clueless. So I guess it's quite nice to experiment a little bit and gain some experience - at least for me.

Best,
Alex

Try 3N-2DMW-2N-2AMW-1 'Butterfly'. My go-to formation for 4-4-2, works with defence, normal or attack orders...

Thanks talisman! "Butterfly" is one of my favorite formations, but recently I don't get the desired results with it.

Today I had two draws and a only one close win against Mou. Played this time all three games with the butterfly formation. It's always the same: I get in the first minutes of the game 1-2 goals and have to wait until the last minutes till my men even the score. I have no explanation. Right now I'm at the third place in the competition and I guess it will end this was. It began quite well but the last games are a pain in the *youknowwhat*. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Oh and I do play with defensive orders as well.
