Had a very frustrating result today. Playing against weaker team using 4-4-1-1 so I played 4-5-1V with attacking mentality, finished 1-1. Was he playing defensive and counter attack?
What should I do in 2nd leg vs this formation? As I will need to score at least 1 goal and either draw or win.
I see that 3-5-2 flat is recommended, but I don't have ML, only AML

Post a screen of your team:)
Ps, You should buy a ML (an average, or cheap one).
My team: Attachment 2855
Result from match: Attachment 2856
Possession was 63:37 in my favour.
So you think I should buy an ML just for this game?
(The current formation is designed for my next match, not the CL 2nd leg)
Well it depends - How important is it for you to win this specific game, and how much are you willing to spend? A ML is always good to have in your squad (My ML and MR are the scorekeepers). Also, I´m not an fan playing with AML-AMC-AMR formations (don´t see the benefits).Quote:

I'll get an ML and try what you say. Don't worry about the formation you see in the screenshot, that's for playing against 4-4-2 in the league tomorrow, I find it works well against that formation.
So what formations do you normally play if you don't use AMs?
i just played versus 4-4-1-1 away and won 0-2 with 4-4-2 narrow diamond playing up the middle. Its almost the same as 4-4-2 and i find narrow diamond works better than 4-5-1 V against 4-4-2.
Try narrow diamond. cheers!
4141 is your best formation to counter it.. up arrow on all players at wing.. i normally meanwhile leave one as LM (up) and the other as AMR (without up so he can be more around mid are for possession) .. but problem you conceded an away goal so you may need to make sure to score and the other issue is that his flanks are well protected .. so may be is better to focus all attack in center .. with 3N-2W(DML/R)-2N-2(AMC)-1 or 1 AMC and 2 attackers with all attacks focused on central axis .. that seem better option now... i will start with 2 AMC bcz it will give me the domination over his 5 in mid, and if you failed to score will switch to 1 AMC and 2 strikers
So many different options to choose from. In terms of having my best players selected, 4-4-2 narrow diamond would be best, as I will have 6*/7* players in 8 positions. As you can see from my squad pic a few posts above,
Drill the the hole from the middle with narrow diamond. forget the flansk lol. in my experience, narrow diamond doing alot throught all other form. while u fightning to weaker teams with def/con. atck formations. put up arrows both mcs/amc and left 1 dmc w/o arrow. put down arrows to dmcs and dont let 'em go up for count.atck. never do offside trap and dont use long passes. u can even use hard attack for first 15 20 min to get a earlier score.
I suffered a 2-2 draw at home in the CL Quarterfinals. It was frustrating for me as well since I'm not a fan using three 3 DCs against two strikers using July Fourth's counter formation list against a team 11 points below me as well as suffering my second ever draw in the six seasons in the Champions League. My butterfly vs 4-1-3-2 Wide. I switched it up to a 4-5-1 V in the away leg and won 3-1.Quote:

are you nuts? you want a formation to counter his? the quality difference is to high. play the formation that you can put your best players in just as long it's a legal formation. attacking mentality, mixed passes, mixed focus, normal tackling,full area, no trap, no counter. you wont have a problem against him. just a lucky result. the possibilities for second bad result are very low.Quote:

Why he so scared of my crappy amc he needs to guard with his dmc? You think he be more offensive? I'm guessing he will go on forum and ask for advice and think I can't read his post. I don't care what he plays, I'm parking the bus and going to final while he don't understand why.Quote:

What's the point posting on here as your opponent can see how you prepare for the game? As everyone can see you suck ass at this game because with your quality and you moaning about the opposition?Quote:

If you can show where i moaned about the opposition then you win. But you probably never heard a moan in your life, most likely can't even touch the sides.
I clearly said I wasn't laughing at you fag. I never said anything offensive until you start to be childish and start to talk about my mother. would you feel better if I put it as "oh bro, you have good team but just unlucky, blah blah blah...." like grow up, you suck!!! play more offensive and stop being scared of your opponent you little turd! Anyways, post whatever you want! I'm not Gona keep going back and forth, this is gay!
Good. Buh bye now.
I'm closing this one before it goes out of hand. No need to argue over silly things when he is only seeking advice on formations/tactics for the second leg.
