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

[Toxcatl]

Hello
Tommorrow I play the leader in the league. Our teams have the same average. He plays 4-2MC-3WAM-1.
What is the best counter tactic for this one? 4-4-2 classic or 4-1-4-1? And which orders?

Thanx in advance

I'd play 3n-3w-2-1-1, normal or def, counter-attacks, through the middle, the rest is up to you.
Or 3w-2-2-2w-1, normal, counter-attacks, flanks or mixed, blah-blah...
Anyway, if you're choosing between those formation, 4-1-4-1 I think looks better. Normal, mixed, mixed, counter-attacks.

Does 4-1-4-1 still work against plain 433? My AML is not used to ML so I would play 4-1-3(MC MC MR)-AML-ST. Would that be good? Any better options to counter 433?

Hey, need some help with a guy i played 3x and did never win.
He plays 4-1-1-2w-2 and very defensive. Played different styles so far (also here mentioned 3n-3w-2-2). Results: 0:0, 0:1, 0:2 , also i was between 5% and 10% better team with almost 60% ball pos. and more shots. Please, need a idea for a setup and how to pkay (off/def/middle/wide) thxx so far

Have you tried 4-1-4-1?
Controlling the middle (with 4 MC/L/R against his one MC) means he won't be able to attack effectively, and without posession he won't be able to counter-attack either.
Therefore, set your counters off, mentality to Normal, passes to Mixed and if % of completed passes is ~85 or less, go for Short. Tackling to Normal. Also, you will probably need High pressing. The rest is up to you.
Oh yeah, in the second half you can also use Man-to-man if you feel like you need defensive boost, but your guys will be exhausted at the end of the game. High pressing and Man-to-man together increase the condition loss by 60-70%, I think.

This is just a theory, and I can't say it definitely will work, I've never tried it against such an opponent. You need to analyze all your previous games, it's hard to give you any advise without knowing exactly what happen -- what were the formations and statistics, what you did and how it changed the games.

Please, tell me the result. And good luck!
