Hope anyone can give some tips/help, thanks
This is a tough formation to beat.
I'm not sure what formation can beat the butterfly although I would play the same as him, fight fire with fire.
I also play this formation in a few days so it would be good if someone else can give their tips :)
dv8r what tactics do you use when playing 3-2-2-2-1??
Against it or playing with it? I've never played against it but when I use it, I always use attacking mentality, down the flanks, pressing own half, mixed passing, normal tackling, zonal marking, counter yes and offside trap no.
I'm using 3-2-2-1 and lost to 4-5-1 on away game. You can try it.
I used 3-2-2-2-1 formation lots of times, especially against stronger teams and most of the times it worked good to me. In my case, using 3-2-2-2-1 last season (defensive, mixed, counter, own half, no offside) I beat twice a strong team with 8-9 scout players that played 4-2-2-2 in the first match (1-0) and 4-3MC-2-1 in the second one (2-1).
With what players I have now, if I'll have to play against a butterfly team I would use a 3-2-3-2 (DML-DC-DC-DC-DMR-MC-MC-MC-ST-ST), cause I have a strong defensive line and good+fast MC's. Defensive, focus mixed, mixed passing, own half pressing, normal tackling, no offside, counter on.
I'm not saying this is a sure thing, but maybe a 4-1(up)-4-1 or 4-4-1(up)-1 that is strong on wing def can beat the butterfly. Maybe with red arrows for the 2 MC's. Using butterfly I had difficulties with teams that used to attack through the middle and had strong fast dl/dr.
