actually quite worked up against this bloke :')



I like the idea of 3N-1DMC-3N-2-1, seems to be the best idea as it covers the centre so he will have no formation advantage, and my AMR/AML can wreak some havok on them wings

so yeah thanks Narf and Dave, i think i've made my mind up.

However i'm unsure about the man on man, i've heard people saying its outdated and a bad tactic, yet my players are better than his man for man.

playing 3N would support the idea of counter attacks yes? never fiddled with those tactics so i might give the match plan a test run against the poor test subject i play tomorrow
When I play 4-5-1V or 3-5-2V, I never play with counter attacks anymore. i used to do this unless he had a DML/DMC/DMR, but now I have been kicking ass with no counters = it gives away possession. I prefer to press whole pitch, so it makes no sense to counter and give ground/possession when I really want it.

It is up to you, but i find it not useful for those formations.

BTW, I play the Narrow diamond guy on monday. I will let you know the result.
