[Accyrover]

Asymmetric, does not work with all those arrows against several formations.

Can you give an example of how 424 should be played?

I guess

ST ST
AML AMR
MC MC

DL DC DC DR
GK

What instructions for it? Arrors, settings?

Also what about this below formation, how is your experience with this?

ST ST >> Most powerful ST with forward arrows
AML AMC >> AML + AMC forward arrows
ML MC MR >> ML with back arrows MR+MC forward
DC DC DC >> All back arrows
GK

I've had pretty decent results with it. I swap the AML to AMR depending on the weakest side of the opposing team, then decide to play down flank, one flank, or mixed, depending on the weaknesses of the opposing team.

Do you think ditching the MR and putting a AMR would be better?

4 2 4 formation is the same 4 2 2 2 but when you put red arrows AMR/L it will be converted to 4 2 4

and when talking about your formation it's good and great if you depending on attacking through the flanks only because you are using MR/L and AMR/L

this the Dutch way and they always using it like this and works great with their team ... you can try it and may work with your team and may not work.

I think no no I'm sure that every team will not work with every formation ... Any team to perform great and do his best with a specific formation you don't know it and you won't unless you tried every formation but this need you to try with the a main squad you will keep them for 2 or more seasons and don't change any of them or even their formation.

you understand me? this need full scouted team stay with you 3 season at least may be 4 seasons ... and try to use every formation and see what's the best formation they perform with?

I make this but at the short run ... I make this every season in friendly matches or cup matches at the beg of every season and determine which formation best to be used ... and in most times i find it and use it till the end of the season and I may change it in rarely times against stronger teams than me.

but this season i couldn't success in this ... I thought that i found the best formation to my team, but i was wrong ... I won every match against everyone i league till now except one draw... and i didn't lose against ant one at CL except this round I lost home and away from a team lower than me with no reason for losing i'm till now trying to find an answer to lose from a very bad team than mine i have 12 scouted players it's rating from 76:80.

You sometimes find that there is no sense in some matches ... you losing only because you was always win and this the time to lose, but not like this home and away and from the same team who is too much weak than you? any way I didn't make any ticket to nordues I know there is no logical answer they will make me die from their answer ... so i prefer to stay alive and don't see their answer hahaha.

does anyone want to add anything about formations?

does anyone playing with any unusual tactics and formations and want to add his experience ?

I have a 2nd team in level 1 (diff server), I'll try with total football and tell you how it works out

[dv8r]

So I played with total football tactics with all those arrows and orders and I won 2-1 away. I had 63% possession to 37% possession and I wasn't watching the match.

Needs more matches to test, could be on to something though

[Accyrover]

What formation was that against?.

[dv8r]

3-4-3 flat formation
