Semi final today. I had 2 injured and 1 sent off!
Grrrrrrrr. Won 2-1 though so not all bad.

Out of Champs league lost 2-1 home & away against 3W-1-3W-1-2 similar quality although I am slightly better, but just can't seem to play this formation, 1st leg played 3N-5-2 and 2nd leg played 4-1-3N-2 FFS

Just played a match against an opponent with matching skills. He played 4-4-1-1 and so I countered with 3-2(DM)-4-1, playing defensive mentality and force counter-attacks. Wanna know what happened? According to the comments, HE GOT A COUNTER-ATTACK EVERY 5 MINUTES AND I GOT 2 FOR THE WHOLE MATCH!

if you people think formations decide the result, you are gonna have a bad time.
i should start a topic - "FORMATIONS ARE OVERRATED"

I am not complaining that I lost - I didn't even say that I lost, although I did. But credit for that is given to the crappy game engine as if you look at the two teams, formations and tactics (yeah, I don't know his tactics, but still ...) then the only expected outcome of that match would've been a draw or a minimal win for either of the teams. And that's with no more than goal by a team scored in each of the cases. The 3:0 loss that I suffered are far detatched from any football logics.

Still, that wasn't my point - my post was mainly about the team instructions. How can you play a defensive game, relying on counter-attacks, where your players are supposed to stay in their half, and yet the other team gets 20 counter-attacks and you get 2?
I know that the comments are put there for entertainment purposes and that they don't mean ****, but seriously - this was way out of line.

But since you started it - if formations and tactics don't influence the result, then what the hell does? Pure randomness?

u think Barca and Real think the 0-4 and 1-4 is logic? sometimes u lose, deal with it

You should, id be interested in reading it as i have my own theories on formations and counters

nah, i am too lazy for that + its unpredictable at all. i am sure everyone can come up with an example countering what other people say. its just ridiculous to think there is a formation that garantied you good result. imagine this: u are playing vs opponent with DL-DC-DR and you putting 3 STR against his only DC. then u lose and wondering HOW the F**K other people easily can say: "he is controling the centre with his 4 players there vs ur 3" and then starts other examples
