    I've got a CL Semi tomorrow and wont be able to monitor the match. The first match I won 2-1 against a wide diamond. In the second game, the opponent is using different formation that I'm unsure about.

    Typically I use a 3n-4-1-2. Arrows and trap depend on what I'm facing. I never force counter.

    ___ST_ST____
    ____AMC_____
    ML_MC_MC_MR
    _____________
    __DC_DC_DC__

    The rest:
    -Attacking
    -Mixed or Through the Middle
    -Own Half
    -Normal
    -Short
    -Zonal

    My opponent:
    3n-2w-2-3

    __ST_ST_ST___
    ______________
    ____MC_MC____
    DML_______DMR
    __DC_DC_DC___

    Kind of a defensive 3-4-3, I guess. Didn't see a specific counter listed. I'd like opinions on how to attack it. I was considering moving the ball up the middle, red arrows on the ST's and AMC, no trap. My Strikers and AMC are my best players and are better than his DC's and his Goalie two-star sucks. My DC's are better than his Strikers but my goalie has been pretty inconsistent, so I'm using a backup. Seems like it should work and keep the ball on his side of the field. Although, If he uses long-ball passing, I may get into trouble.

    With a 1 goal advantage in the series, playing more defensively seems like the way to go. Battle to a draw and move to the next round. However, I almost never play defensively, and I have no idea how they would respond if I completely changed the formation and take my best players off. I guess that's why I'm leaning towards keeping the pressure on.

    Opinions?


    Edit:
    Yeah no response. Won 5-1 with the strategy stated above.
