Table of Counter Formations v2.0 - Which formation to use?

[Marc Symons]

5-1-1-1-2 Can be beaten by 4-4-2ND ...please update it .

Firstly great work and it looks very professional and easy to read (As opposed to many others i have seen). I know MANY people love viewing counter formations so for that reason it is a good thing however I can't help but think people are just chucking out counter formations for the hell of it?! - I play 4-4-1-1 and I beat in the CL final a team that was 49Q to my 45.5Q. He played 3-5-2. Now according to the table he should have countered my 4-4-1-1 with his 3-5-2? Yet I won 7-1? - what I would like to see is people (honestly) logging results to see if these counters even work? People should comment on how they get on using counter formations as it would help with CF research.

I dont need that table anymore..
That table doesnt make me thinking about how to set counter strategy, not to counter formation with different formation..

That's what I think. Useless... Football Managers should be using their own brain for their tactics, not anyone elses.

I agree with you, even though I sometimes really look at the table if I'm playing against a formation I've rarely play against. Sometimes the counter formations don't really work but well, blame T11.

Anyways, many players were using your thread, so I decided to create a new one. Specially for the newer players such a thread was helpful.

I like it as a suggestion for possible ways to keep your opponent's players covered while giving your own players a better chance. Many of you have said to just develop my own style and formation to work with my players...I AM doing that, but it doesn't hurt to have a suggestion when I face something I haven't seen before or some "lower strength" team that seems to be chewing up "stronger" teams on their way to me. I have many times used the suggested counter only to find myself changing a bit in the middle of the match. It's NOT guaranteed... But it IS a good place to start.

Hi, any new suggestions to play againts a 4-2-2-2 Hexagon? It's for the next round of the champions, level is almost equal, but his AML/AMR are 6 star players while I don't have any defender at that level.

Thanks in advance.

Totally agree!

If you have a better team, 4-4-2, can be countered by 4-1-4-1.
You will get 1 bad result in every 7-8 matches.
