Got pawned - need advice !!

[Spyros]

First leg CL semi final got outplayed and lost...







Is my 4-5-1 V not good enough to counter this hardcore attacking formation? Should I keep on with it or change to different formation like a 4-5-1 flat with all wingers motivated or anything ???

remove AML and AMC , play with 2 MC , 1 AMC and 2 Strikers , 1000 % sure you will beat him in next game

like i said my friend, no amc available :/

why using AMC when he is weaker at flanks .. attack flanks like i did
beat home and away comfortably

3N-3W-2-1-1

Defensive formation

I agree with this formation except that you can choose to go with 2 strikers instead of the AMC.
Another possibility is to go with 3N-3W-3W-1, and play down the flanks.

He has 2 MCs and 3 DCs, you should be going at him hard down the flanks. AMR/AML are very important to have if you dont play the natural 4-4-2 and they give you so much more in terms of flexibility of formations. If you had them, you would pwn him

The original formation of the English is not even 4-4-2, what is natural?

REALLY??? Does it really matter what the formation of the English is in real life in relation to this game? I could give a toss about real life football when I play this game because this is a game engine and can only simulate possible results based on the information of your team and your opponents team. The point of this game is to out-think your opponent and win. Or is it to give all your money to Nordeus? Im confused about that one...

Anyways, 4-4-2 is the natural/typical/popular formation of this game. It is the most balanced and most people win everything with this formation. You say you play a 4-1-4-1, which is a 4-4-2 with a sweeper/DMC at the cost of a striker, which also could be viewed as a 4-5-1, also a very natural/popular formation in real football.

More importantly, your situation: you can think all you want on this, you can toss out all the advice we give you, but at the end of the day you have to decide if our advice is relevant to your situation. I have seen many good suggestions and you seem to not like any of the answers. I would forget about being too defensive or worry about his players quality and just go with a strong defensive formation that will exploit his weakness, which is a lack of defense.

You said natural I just ask you what natural is because the inventor of the game don't play 4-4-2 in the beginning and they don't play that now. In this game I barely see any ppl play 4-4-2 and they certainly don't win everything except July because his team is nuts. ask around, mostly there's only 1 or 2 teams per league plays 4-4-2 and not all of them leading. I agree with you it's one of the most balanced formations though.

As for your 3-3-2-2 formation i knew some1 will recommend this because they believe the DML/DMR will block the arm/aml and DMC block his AMC. How you exploit his lack of defense with 2st against 3 DC? You going more defensive not to mention you don't even take time to look at his team before you give your 2 cents. His DMR is very weak and he only has 1 good ST.
