WTH? Am I missing something?

You're miles better than him, why not just match up his formation and allow your better players to make the difference?

Is there anything to the rumour (No, not a conspiracy theory...) that a matchup of same formations tends to give an advantage to the away team?

Yes, I did think about going 4-4-2 to match him up. What do you think about arrows and instructions?

No arrows, attacking, mixed, own half, normal is how I do it

Yeah, 4-2-2-2 is the new 3-4-1-2 by the looks of things. All the token buyers seem to be using it.

4-4-2 is too good nowadays. IRL, it's soooo predictable.

Any fixed formation is predictable in real life, the best teams rotate player positions - that's why 4-2-3-1 became so popular, with the 3 constantly interchanging (Chelsea on a good day have the best 3 in the PL for that formation)

When Barca were at their best, they changed player positions a lot and Pep was constantly looking for variations. When he left a few of my friends said that whoever got the position would have the easiest job in the world - I argued that it isn't as simple as putting out the 11 best players and winning games

Heynckes' tactical masterclass in the semi-final proved that to be the case

4-1-2-1-2 is completely useless now. Now I use 4-3-1-2 and I've been on a tear ever since. Beat a 4-4-2 team of the same star quality with this formation 2-0. And I'd probably use the same formation against you, too. Or maybe 5-2-3 aggresive long passing.

Both butterfly and 4-5-1 V handle the 4-3-1-2 formation you are talking about, either wide or narrow, so I have beaten them both this season handily. I would test this out in a friendly with you should you be on the same server.

But, yes, duly noted and I will take that into consideration. Cheers!

My suggestion is to use ur 1st formation..3N-2-2-1-2..

c`mon stop bull**** with tactics when i win 3-4-1-2 every 4-4-2 but only the one who donated this season more then me beat me (or i just dream) !

Last season i spend like 300 tokens and i made a team competitive for 2 season , this season i donated only for ~150 tokens because already had the team 5~7* high quality for all others even so ... two teams beat me with **** 4-4-2 in ch league and league even if i over pass them with 5 quality and on field even more ... explain this **** in tactic ?

Don`t post about tactics because in the end is all bull**** ! Special thanks for developer teams for their great job on this game improve !

Simon, talk about a bull in a china shop.....

Ro, stop spending if you feel that you are not getting your money's worth.

Until I see that tactics dont work, I will continue to play as if they do.

I still fully believe that nothing you do in-game matters, but you have to make sure you have all your ducks in a row before the game starts as that is when the NGE determines who wins. Until Nordeus comes out and denies that, I reserve the right to believe it.
