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.Originally Posted by FmFm

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.Considering your recent posts, I think you are seeing to many gaps in the middle.

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.
Did they both say that? I never really paid attention to what object my formation looks like.

They didn’t say that exactly but it isn’t difficult identifying what makes your formation odd or a better word. Unique!
I usually play the same formation against all opponents as I do not have enough to buy or train a team of good players. I did recently check for this formation as it is very popular. It was 5-3N-2.How to counter this formation? I was thinking of playing 4-5-1 flat or V style. Do you have any suggestions?

You can beat this with a lot of formations as long as it covers the basics to defend and to attack versus this formation. Orders play significant role these days. The game has changed. Way back I used to use defensive 3-5-2 with defensive wingers (3-2W-3MC-2) and attacking 4-3-3, but last season I used 3-2W-2MC-2W-1 (wing attacks). 451 Flat has also beaten this formation way back (Nik's 451V was beaten), and 3W-2DMC-2-2W-1 also beaten this. One key in beating this in the past was evident - it is 3MCs with cover in the other areas as appropriate according to the approach used for defence and attack. If the approach was attack middle, then needed 3 attackers in front (AMC, ST or 3ST) but if the approach was defensive and counter-attacking, wingbacks and 2ST (still with the 3MC) was needed. Other possible formations are 4-3N-2W-1 and 3-6-1 wide diamond.
