I looked back at the CL semi-final last season and a lot of the formations I used against 4-1-3W-2, failed. Won 4-1 but it was against a weaker team.

Looks like I'm out of the cup then... no hope. One of the teams uses 4-1-3W-2 in the league and is one of my main rivals... I will actually quit this game for good if I come away with nothing this season

Fight fire with fire or use a formation that has 5 or more midfielders and it should do "fine".

I faced a 4-1-3W-2 in cup first leg, despite winning only 2-3, those were the stats (playing away)



I used a 3N-1-4-2 with normal mentality, mixed passing and focus, full pitch, no arrows. we both attended (i at least logged before beingkicked out) without further watchers.

I do think that the key is the full pitch pressing, as playing own pitch makes you wait for the opponent to move. works good against weak teams, as your counters and generally overuns destroy them, but against a same level you need to block its attack. MCs here are hugely needed with good defensive stats.

As you can see my keeper didn't make any save, and rated a 4. I didn't follow, but to me looks like he got 2 goals from nowhere, "idiotic engine style".

As it seems now, my team is at quite a good level for a level 2 team. I'm very happy with that :-)
Won all my matches since the beginning of the season:



Also, in the League, after only 2 matches played, only 2 teams still have the maximum of the points:



Unfortunatly,
one of my best players got a 6 days injury after playing only 1 match for the team. I'm curious how the team will perform once he's back.

As I look at you guys here, I feel like a very little fish in the sea with my level 2 team (Q24 at the moment). Very curious to see what the next few seasons will bring :-)

I'll post my team once the injured player is healed :-)

LEAGUE-round 2 : chelsea fc 2-4 ROYAL FC

i had a 0-2 lead in the first 20 mins. but then he got 2 goals and the first half ended with a draw. just after the second half started we got a leading goal which stayed till the minute 61 when he injured my DMC for 20 days and from that free kick i scored the 4th goal. right after the free kick he got a red card but for the next 23 mins. i coudln't score a single goal although he had only 2 players in the midfield, 1 of them is an AMR !!

Goals : Sabri 11' (ROYAL FC) - Berland 18' (ROYAL FC) - Torres 21' (chelsea fc) - Beemer 33' (chelsea fc) - Sabri 48' (ROYAL FC) - Mathijs 61' (ROYAL FC) | MotM : Sabri (ROYAL FC)

Other : Bultink (ROYAL's DMC/DC) got injured for 20 days but the club used 15 treatment packs to heal him instantly to be ready for tomorrows matches against Buriram united (CL opponent) and Aly FC (League opponent). This is the first injury of the season

Lost the opening game in the League to the Title favorite 0-1 away, but won in the Champions League opener 5-0 at home.

I then won the 2nd game of the League 3-0 against one of the CL contenders but lost 2-1 in the Cup to a team one LVL above me, getting 3 injuries in the process, two of them to key members of the team. We're sure to have a really hard time getting back in there if I can't get a bunch of red packs in the next 2 days..!

Hm, seem all "struggle" one way or another. But I was woundering, are all teams in your league that are marked as "blue" friends or what? Are they people you know or just people you accepted as friends (after sending you a inventation?)... I don't know it this is true, but I recall that the more "friends" you have in your league or cl - the more tougher it gets and strange result could occur just to make it more "tense, tought and competitive"?

About the injuries. I agree, had 3 injuries so far as well (both league,cl and cup) and I refuse to buy medic packs (tend to get more injuries if I do).
