He has 7scouted players and 1 world class player.
The match will be the cup finals.

I know it looks weird, but I'll be using the same formation today, gives you strong attacks down the wings. You can switch two DCs to the wings, and the AMs and Ms to the centre if you'd rather attack through the centre. Blue arrows on DMs, red on AMs either way, defensive, own half, hard tackling, long passes, zonal, no counter, no offside traps. Don't forget the win bonus, and take care of morale and condition.

Helpppp? Match at 7.30

[sher8853]

He has changed to 4-5-1 V Style, probably to counter my 3-1-4-2 formation. I dont have any dmr dml, aml amr, how do i defeat him?

[Rapyer]

read the sticky on top of the forum, there is every formation possible answered in there

when in doubt against a better player, use 4-5-1 defensive and grind it out for a draw

[sher8853]

The guide requires either dmr dml or aml amr, which unfortunately i dont have them.
Any formation to counter 4-5-1 V style? and do you mean 4-5-1 flat?

Taken from page 1 of this thread
4-5-1 V Style

4-5-1 V-style is one of the most versatile formations. It can easily become defensive or offensive with the change of a few arrows. A great jack of all trades, but it's lack of defensive wingers can be exploited.

When playing against 4-5-1 V, you need to protect your flanks and attack the opponent's. Forget about attacking the middle, it's that simple. Keep in mind that 4-5-1 V-style is most often played with counter-attacking orders, so you don't want to overdo your attacks. Use normal or defensive mentality and press your own half.

As always, when playing against a midfield formation, you need to have at least as many midfielders as the opponent.

Here's a few examples:

4-3-2-1

This is 4-5-1 V-style's brother. It takes advantage of not using a DMC who won't be blocking an nonexistent AMC and vice verse. This translates into a more powerful midfield to feed passes to the forward players.

Motivated 4-5-1 flat.

While an unmotivated 4-5-1 flat would probably succumb to a 4-5-1 V-style, you can take advantage of that and make the opponent underestimate you. He'll probably realize that his flanks are under constant attack after a few goals.

DL(UP)-----DC---DC-----DR(UP)

3-2-2-2-1

While you don't need more than 1 or 2 DC's against 4-5-1 V, you don't want to use an illegal formation. The extra DC acts as a sweeper, DML/DMR block the attacks from the flanks, and AML/AMR attack the soft flanks.
