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.
4-5-1 flat or the V formation?Quote:

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.
If you play the same formation as your opponent, does it cause weird results?
I may use butterfly against butterfly... I am the much better team but I cant really play without wingers e.g. 3-2-3-2 , it makes me a lot weaker.
If anyone knows a countering formation that uses wingers (AML/AMR) then I'll appreciate it.
I have big time trouble. I play against a team:
-DR----DC----DL-
-MR--MC-MC--ML-
-------AMC-------
----ST------ST---
First leg was played at my home and I lost 3-0. :(
I was playing:
-DR--DC--DC--DL--
--------DMC--------
-MR-----MC-----ML-
---------AMC-------
---------ST---------
Normal style.. Zonal Marking.. Own Field... Mixed Passing... Mixed Direction... No Offside... No Counter
DL, DR, DCs with blue arrows
ML, MC, MR, AMC, ST with red arrows
And I lost 3-0 at my home on first leg. My team 46.7 , opponent 41.8 :(
He was probably playing: Defensive + Counter attacking... All Field...Zonal... Down both flanks..(because his ML scored 2 goals)
At 0-1 I switched to a
----DC--DC---DC---
---------DMC-------
-MR------MC------ML
----------AMC-------
-----ST--------ST----
with ATTACKING, MIXED, MIXED PASSING, OFFSIDE, MAN-MARKING, ALL FIELD
but still did not succeed to make a goal!!!!! :(
HOW CAN I COUNTER IT? ANY TIPS?
I have 2nd leg match today at 20:00 hrs.
