For me before match, matter the avQ and programming of the players, my thesis always has been that one can win a treble with any formation, so, formations, matter in this case, during the live match, when the game has created the scenario and then you can affect on it moving players/doing a change of formation.

Thats why again I defend that with this theory is the same play with a counter or without, is exactly the same cause once the game starts the game will choose a scenario more in your favour or against you playing with, or without counter...

So matter only inside the live simulation once you know the scenario you face, not before.
