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

[t11_fan]

We drew 2-2. Stupidly left man to man on against 3 CMs. He scored once I changed to zonal I scored 2 but he equalised.

You see now how though are those formations to break even with offensive setup?
I've plan for the cup 1/2 finals to use similar formation (one that your oppo used), but with 3MC and 1ST instead of his 2MC-2ST. Celtic has many weak scouts, but that cup oppo is much stronger, his squad has 14x 7* playes. I have few matches before that one so I'll check other options too, but there are no much options for me but....

Im facing a guy who has a far better team than mine with a 4-1-4-1 formation and I was thinking if the recommended 3W-4-3 is a good idea considering I dont have and DMC for the 4-2-2-2 Hexagon.

He used

GK
DC, DC, DC
DMR, DMC, DML
CM, CM, CM
ST

After I beat him 7-1 in a friendly so it made it even more difficult. That's why I made a mistake with man to man.

Good luck with it mate. Fingers crossed for you.

True, I changed the 4-3-1-2 for diamond today and worked so well

Too I guess, (did not proved but..) that if one put a diamond and move a DR or DL as DC maybe can assure more in defense.... not tested, just a think.

It works for you ?

I've had a look at my previous results against it.

1-1 D
0-1 W
3-3 D

It seems it's not the direct counter anymore. I'd go with 4-5-1v then.

Hello peeps, i was researching and it says 4-3-2w-1 ( its seem to be called 4-5-1 v-style) countering mine 4-4-2.

Im new and im playing 4-4-2 with ML and MR red arrows ( forward ). Am I good with this if he is 14star and i am 21star ? I really need this win to get in new league next season. Thanks

mentality attack
focus pass ML and MR
pass short
force counter attack no
pressing low
marking zonal
offside trap no since i have slow defenders.

Recommended counter for 4-5-1 flat is both styles of 3-5-2. That still the case?
