    I'm usally using 3-4-1-2. How would you recomend to counter his formation? I could go with 4 or 5 defenders - but both changes would lower my team quality from 111% to 108%. Also what additional tactical settings would you guys suggest?


    4-5-1 V, start defensive + counter attacks and see how it's going, can switch to attacking and take off counter attack if you are dominating chances and good on possession. I would use mixed passing via flanks to start and potentially switch to mixed if you can see that wingers are not getting through.

    Just bear in mind that he can switch from 4 3w-3 to 4-3n-3 and that would be a solid counter to 4-5-1, so be ready to swap to 4-1(dmc)-4-1.

    I had a very similar scenario recently in association match (at 107me - 108 opponent) and it worked out 3-1 in my favour (away game with less possession). The table on first page is still very good and works (for me anyway).

    Good luck


    p.s: I have also won important matches with 1-3 players having yellow or red triangles. In fact the less the better but nevertheless, I prefer to put a player out of his position (as long as it's very close to where he normally plays) than put a weaker player who hardly sees a game.

    Question

    I've got a game coming up and the opponent has an odd formation. He has three narrow defenders, 3 wide defensive midfielders, 1 central midfielder, 2 wide attacking midfielders and 1 forward.

    ------------ST------------
    AML--------------AMR
    -----------MC-----------
    DML----DMC----DMR
    ------DC--DC--DC-----

    Hello managers, I have another query !!!
    Morning game Champions League final ... after a titanic battle against a tanking in the Semifinals! (Global 6: 6, penalties 5-3).

    I have another tanking awaiting me in the final! We face the group stage when 82% -83% and the tanking was over 100%. We ended up tying both parties.

    0-0 Home.
    1-1 Away.

    Pass as group head for the visiting goal.

    Any recommendation, suggestion or idea of how to face this training, I do not play with MC !, has not lost any game so far in UCL. as he has 7 * -8 * players in the attack.

    All comments will be well received.

    I leave reference image of his formation.

    Im Playing an Opponent tomorrow, he´s 111 % and im 86% he´s playing 4-4-2, i guess i need to play 3-4-1-2 or 4-5-1 V-Style, but what are the tactical settings? I know it will be hard.

    Yes it will be. Play hard defense with down arrow on the dmc. If u wanna attack then attack through the flanks n try to play posession football ! That is short passes n high pressing.

    I am glad you won

    Against a favorite you need to defend and hence the dmc with down arrow. DMC with up arrow means while attacking he will become MC thus leaving u vurnerable on the counter. Ml/mr with up arrow means they become lw/rw while attacking thus essentially u got 4 people attacking. Short passing means possesion football, frustutating opponent and taking advantage of the mistakes. If u have pressing on high it means ur team will start defending the moment u lose the ball.
