Can a 3-defender-formation be successful when op AML/AMR players exist?

I use this same style and usually switch to AMC and only go for DMC only when the opponent has an AMC, but when the AMC is weak of his DMC is weak I stick to having an AMC instead.

I also play a DC-DC-DC and almost never lose except for those troll results lol

Now that this thread is up again, I'm back to 4-5-1 V. Its just the best, there is nothing you can say against it. I played with a 3-2-3-1-1 for about 2 seasons and I did decent, than I also tried a 4-1-3-1-1, but with V style my wingers are scoring left and right and I win far more games than with the other formations.

I almost always beat 4-5-1 V
hard attacking , short passes on the wings,pressing low using 3DC-2MC-ML-MR-AMC-2ST

my ML and MR usually just on the line to AMR AML or just simply AML AMR
still wins

I guess thats its achilles heel

OP-On the whole, this formation has been fantastic for me until I play someone great with a heavily concentrated attack line and il switch the AMC for a 4th defender and play a back 4. My partner has gone a season undefeated and had a 100% 26/26 league wins in the last few seasons until she stopped spectating as much and I couldn’t do it for her while at work. With the usual time taken to maintain max training bonus each day and managing your team through matches, it’s superb. Won me the IC cup twice and hoping to complete the set in the 3rd.

Sorry, that is actually to accommodate my best IC player who s MR. Play MR and ML as AML and AMR and I feel it improves the formation as top eleven seems to have a thing for these guys getting all the goals. I have an AML who has finished top scorer in league 4 seasons on the bounce. He has 197 goals in 149 league games for me playing in that formation.

The one shown in the picture, but in my usual club team I play the MR and ML as an AMR and AML as they score loads. Only reason I played MR and ML at IC was because the first player (best) that they give you was an MR.

Tactics?

I find myself using 3DC more and more, and find it very effective for both the 3x ST or AML/(C)/R + ST attacks more often used nowadays. For wing players I add DL/DR in the DML/R positions, for more central attacking formations (Narrow Diamond, et al) I add a DMC.

More often than not, I am playing 3DC-DML/R-2MC-AML/R-ST Butterfly formation, I can usually overcome a 4-5-1V by using Butterfly and playing through the middle (!). 4-3-3 and 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond are countered using 3DC-DMC-3MC-AML/R-ST, again a 3DC formation. I have a MC/AMC and he will be pushed up to AMC if I need to play a more offensive formation to put a weak opponent to the sword or rescue a losing situation.
