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

[minz90]

Hello friends, i have most important game of this season. And its 17 to 21 stars
Table says best counter for 4-3w-1-2 is 4-1-4-1 or 3n-1-4-2 but my squad is more eligible for 4-1-4-1 is this ok, and how should i use other tactics and stuff. I also plan to use AML instead of ML in midfield becouse of player position, would it be ok ?

I really really appriciate help, thanks in advance.

You can also try 4-2-2-2 Hexagon. Normal, both flanks, own half, short, hard. no Counter, no offside.
Red arrows on DL and DR

Is this table actual!?

Somewhat! It's based upon the experience on several players on this forum. Several of these players are highly skilled top eleven players with lots of experience. It also serves as a very helpful guide to help understand the concept of countering the oppositions formation/strategy!

However, there are a few faults with the table.

1. It's outdated. As seasons pass, Nordeus most likely updates what formations serve as counters to various other formations, in addition to what orders work best. They want variety at the game, to break from the monotony of players always using the same formations. Some seasons, may "buff" defensive setups, others offensive ones and others setups with a normal mentality.

2. It doesn't tell us what orders and arrows were used by the user.

3. We don't know what the orders, arrows, morale, condition and win bonus of the opposition was. Is "formation X" a counter to "formation Y" if the player using "formation Y" is an inactive/semi-active manager that isn't using the correct set of orders?

Try 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond / Normal/ Through the middle/ Normal Tackling/ Own Half/ Mix passing/ Zone / Force Counter - ON/ No offside.

Defenders against AML/AMR/ST, DMC against AMC, MC against MC, AMC and 2 ST attack to lone DC. His weakness is DL/DR. If he change to 3 DC, so you change to 4-5-1v attack through the flanks.

4-1-4-1 will do, since that team is totally weak on flanks you will have a big advantage on attacks and counterattacks, so use red arrow on your flanks, both DL/DR and ML/MR. If your opponent is stronger than you then use deffensive mentality, both flanks, own field, normal tackling, mixed passing, zonal marking, force counters.

i can't see the counter formation for 3(DC)-3(dml-dmc-dmr)-2(MC)-2(ST)

[Iggari]

Best formation/tactics to counter this?

x - DC - DC - DR

ML - MC - MC - MR

ST - ST - ST

I was thinking in a 4-5-1 V or 4-1-4-1.
