That's it! im DONE adjusting my tactics to counter....

[Keith Gaule]

AH cheers, this is the first footy game I've seen people use that. I play W in that case

PLaying the team in 2nd today, expecting an upset, as he's beaten me in a friendly before - I have beaten him twice though, last time 5-1! So we shall see when it actually counts.

I also have a tough cup match later. I'm 6-3 up from first match, my opponent has a tougher team, all scouted players it seems, for a level 2 they are all into orange stars. I'd say he is sick after the first match so will be going hard at it. By tomorrow I'll have a lot of red crosses I imagine :/

Yeah, sorry to confuse, looks like you are the same as me DL DC DR plus DMC and all 3 def have aerial & defensive wall SA but I play attacking without counter attacks but if it works like you say maybe I should change.

Don't go changing yet! See how I do in the 2 tough matches today If I lose them I'll have to change up everything.

You talking about hard tackling? I changed to hard tackling for a couple of harder cup games and never noticed that i was being booked more, nor did i cause any injuries. I did notice that i had more possession, so i left it at hard tackling and still not getting alot of cards or causing injuries, just more possession.

Maybe different for others, thats just what im experiencing

If your three goals better off maybe go slightly more defensive, depending if its the away tie and if hes watching etc

[reddeviljohn]

OK, coz I have a hard match myself team behind me so a win would give me some breathing space but one last question on you DMC do you have red or blue arrows?

[Keith Gaule]

Just won that match Vs 2nd place, 5-2. I almost forgot it was at 12:30, normally a little later. When I joined it was 3-2 just before HT. he was watching and making changes. I made that switch at ht from DMC to AMC and scored almost immediately. Got a penalty late in the,game. I guess that was his hard tackling?

On the DMC I usually leave him with no arrows - but might switch to blue, if I'm being pressed, and red obviously then if I'm in comfortable possession at home. But mostly no arrows.



Just brought in a new ST for cup games, sold my 3rd on, as he just wasn't cutting it - this guy is only 20 and his stats were about as good, I'll improve on him in no time. And a DR also for cover.

@ Crackpot we know that some counter formations don't work anymore so some times it is a waste of time! If it works for you countering then good for you but a lot of us have noticed that it is not suiting our team and have decided to stop, I myself have stopped and have a 5-1-0 record since stopping and this includes 4 consecutive clean sheets so I am happy.

@reddevilurinal ( I can do this too!):

there is always a counter formation to every formation, you just have to find it. It is never a waste of time. Whatever works for you, works for you, and does not necessarily work for all.

Glad not changing things is working for you. changing things is working for me. I have trophies too and I have never sat on a specific formation. I only lose 2 games a season in league at worst and have won CL every year except 1st when I was out of it when I joined. So there is something to be said for countering, whether the known ones work or not.

I've got the feeling that formations doesnt really matter, as long as its legal. But I guess my feeling is wrong^^

Lots of great input, fellas!

Well, I'm out of Cup, lost 1-0 in 1st minute he scored, I dominated every stat but the one that matters, 61% possession, 24-4 shots, 14-2 on target, his 6* keeper got the MVP, my team played awesome vs a 5Q higher team, now I can concentrate on League (7-1-0 record) and might put some effort on CL since I'm 1 win from knock off stage :-)
