    He actually might be a good tactically because he beat, one of my other title rivals 1-2 at his home, darn he likes to end unbeaten streaks he sure does.

    He has shocked a few teams this season.

    Not a troll 98.2% vs 85.2%

    I wasn’t expecting to lose because when I am the weaker team by more than 5% I always lose, I tried to switch formation and do all sorts of things to try and win but I did not work and they got the obligatory 90th minute winner.

    Definitely not a troll.

    There is not big q difference.
    Oppo was present.
    He made a sub, you didn't (usually this helps).
    And I told you about your unbalance formation.

    I know Fair play to him, it was so distracting, we got a free kick on the side of the pitch, we hit it over the bar, we had a counter attack that went to waste, one of my players hit it over the bar, in the 87th minute we got a corner and it went over the bar, and in the 90th minute, they got the winner, it was so frustrating, now, there is 1 point between first (me) and 3rd place, however 2nd and 3rd must play each other and on the final match day of the season.

    CL Final tomorrow vs a 12% weaker team, I am considering not showing up because we have done significantly better in auto than we did when I was attending (weird)

    Out of 4 CL Finals I was in, I showed up to three, we lost them all, and when I did not show up last season, we won 4-1 (we were playing a 23% weaker team though)

    I am torn for my decision because the game is at a suitable time to watch.

    Also Nik, I said to one of the devs last year when I was playing in the CL Semi Finals, And Lost 2-5 to a 10% weaker team so I got onto the support team and asked them what I did wrong and they said, that using a certain formation and my tactics at the time were silly.

    How to counter this formation? I was thinking of playing 4-5-1 flat or V style. Do you have any suggestions?

    Well I don’t know what formation you should use but define you play the ball through the middle. Their defenders have a huge gap between them.

    Considering your recent posts, I think you are seeing too many gaps in the middle.
    In fact, the space between those two DCs are closer to the normal space rather than being a huge gap. Another thing to consider is that players do not stay fixed about the same position; 3DC can move wide and DL-DC-DR can move narrow as required to mark attackers as long as there are enough defenders, but you are seeing the above as a huge gap to exploit? Someone can play 5 all close at the back and still the way to go against him might be the middle or vice versa. Another one could play 4 at the back but set wide apart (in this case, clearly a big gap is seen in the middle), but still the way to go might be by the flanks and even in the live match highlights you might be surprised to see them narrowly set at the back when defending.

    Also, after having seen two of your odd formations you been using, it is not a surprise if odd formations (and orders) were the main contributors of most of those losses your team suffered but you blamed them as trolls. Some things may have changed recently in this game but some years back, you would have been severely penalised for those odd formations you have been using. You are still in the low levels, but soon or later you will realise that some of the things you been using were wrong or putting your team into disadvanatage. I doubt you will win much with those odd ways in more active and competitive leagues and cups, but I can be mistaken or wrong.

    You are right. I use odd formations, I wish I got to play the old day.

    Lol your MR sticks out like a sore thumb. I thought I was the only one who thought so. Now tactician and nik both said it.
