Tax to 4-1-2-1-2 W

[Aleixo]

In champions league in my house i have a draw (1-1)

Opponent use 4-1-2-1-2 W i use 3-5-2 flat, in secound half i change to my old formation: 4-1-3-2

Now i will play out, what formation i can use to beat him?? We have 22.0 quality..

I can't believe you changed formation at half time because I'm sure 3-5-2 flat gets the better of the wide diamond, either that or you could play 3N-1-4-2.

Next game u think is better stay with 3-5-2?

It normally works for me, Last time I played 4-1-2-1-2 wide I used 3-5-2 and won 8-0.

You forgot to mention your team is normally twice as good as the opponent.

what do you think if I use 4-5-1 V style? because this tactics have maximum of my best players

Wide diamond = no centre MF control.
----------------ST
ML-----↑MC↑--MC--↑MC↑----MR
---------------DMC------------------
----------DC--DC--DC--------------

Short passing through the middle with normal mentality pressing your own half. Zonal marking.

Or 4-1-3W-1-1
Same orders but with Mixed focus.

but, i will try full time 3-5-2
