I would actually play 4-4-2 flat to counter 4-3-3 (he will likely change it)

I've never had to counter the tactic your opponent is facing so that is a quick guess from where players could "slip" through lol.

If you were to keep your current tactics I would keep an eye on Mentality switching from Defensive, Normal or attacking, once you have a 2-0 lead I've always just threw it down to Defensive to keep that lead (Unless I'm against a non-active team)
Hi, sorry for not posting in this topic during weekend but I had almost no spare time. Thanks for the tips zJordan, I managed to save up some time for the match on saturday and didnt change my formation, waiting for the opponents move. Well he didint do a thing, so the game started with me 4-5-1Vstyle and him 4-4-2 ...... and with the opponent not present! The game went onwards and similiar to 1st game I was leasing 0-3 by 25 min, then things started to get crazy .... at 61min scoreboard was 3-3 ..... erhm well , I responded with setting my team more ofensivly (I didnt want to loose the match) hardattacking, tackling and arrows on MCs. Then the opponent team scored! (still with absent manager .... sigh!) well, I switched the DMC with another ST changing formation to 4-2mcs-2ml/r-2 and I scored a goal at 90 min! Of the post! yay!

Well my desire to win the game almost costed me the match thinking with clear head now - 4-3 was still positive result for me and setting the team defensivly was the safe bet and maybe the right course of action. Well I`ll think about it next time!

Now it`s time to get ready for the my semi-final opponent but he`s only 13,7* so ... Wish me luck!
