    Lately im facing lots of 3N-1-4-2 and i must say that 4-5-1V just doesnt work .. idk if its because of my settings but do u have any other viable counter for this formation ? i think the best way was to use 3N-2-2-2-1 butterfly with both flank settings .. must test it right now

    With 3N I would think you need more than 1 striker. You could try the attacking 4-4-2 with the two wide players AML/AMR instead of ML/MR. That way you will have the two strikers to trouble the 3 DC and the width. My concern with this is the DMC could have an upward arrow which could leave you overrun in midfield on attacks as it would make it 3MC. I suspect his ML/MR have up arrows too so his attacking formation will look more like 3-3-2AML/AMR-2.

    Hi,

    Has anyone come across this formation.

    4-2DMC-AML-AMR-AMC-1

    So to confirm, that's a flat back 4, 2 DMC and no midfielders. Instead he is playing 3 attacking midfielders and one up front.

    It was clear this was going to be a counter attacking formation so I was cautios, played 4-5-1 diamond with force counter attack but having taken the lead he beat me 2-1. 2nd leg in champions league semi final is tomorrow with me away from home.

    FYI I have the better team. Was thinking of flooding the midfield, something like 4-5-1 or even 4-3-1-2 but wary of not having a DMC. Any thoughts?

    the counter table is flaw: 3-5-2 doesn't work against 5-4-1, especially when your opponent is playing with counter attack and hard defensive

    just saying

    Hello!
    Just won 1-2 away without watching with a 4-2dmc-1mc-2amc-1 Formation(looking like a cross) His formation was 4-4-2 classic

    I had my last competition match today against 3n-5-2. Started the match with butterfly (as the table suggested) , normal mentality, through the flanks, zonal marking, mixed passing, no offside trap and no force counter. Had red arrows on DL, DR, AML and AMR. After the first half it was 2-1 for the opponent. So I changed it to 4-5-1 V, again arrows on DL, DR, AML, AMR. Changed normal mentality to attacking and the rest the same. Played the opponent away and he got no chances to score since i changed it. Won 5-2. So if you play against 3n-5-2, I would suggest 4-5-1V!

    Hi there,

    4-5-1 V.STYLE doesn't beat 4-1-2-1-2, it's the other way around.

    tried it, at least, for 3 times.

    this table not accurate anymore.

    I beat 4-1-2-1-2 best with 4-5-1 flat
