I am still new in the game, playing for about 10 days now. I red most of the topics in Formations & Tactics forum, but it would be great to hear your opinion what formation will be good for me, if I play against 4132. I have a game tomorrow against a slightly better team (mine is 13.9, his is 14.9). Could you please advise me what should be good against? I think maybe 4-5-1V and passing both flanks? Or I should just stick to the 4-3N-2(AML/AMR)-1, suggested in the Table of Counter Formations topic?

Thank you once again for the great guide!

Cheers!
Hi, thanks for reading my guide. The quick answer to your question is no. 43N2w1 is not a counter and if you read this thread, I have talked about it in the post above.

In terms of what works against 4132, I am afraid I dont have much helped there. I havent really lost to many teams with the same formation. If I have a guess, it would be 352, which not many people play and last time I played against it I play 433 instead. Recently, I have also drawn alot with 442 which seem to be the formation at this time but that might be because my defensive mcs are out.

Try one of those two and read my guide for more info. At lower levels, player ratings matter the most and it is a uphill struggle to beat higher q teams. Later on it gets easier (1 higher rating at 14/15 teams is near to 10% differenc while 1 differnce in rating at 100 rating teams is only 1% different) and formation I guess would become more important.
