Team Mentality: Defensive
Focus Passing: Down both Flanks
Force Counter-Attacks: Yes
Pressing Style: Low (Own half)
Tackling Style: Normal

KEY PLAYERS: DMC with Playmaker Ability & Shodow Striker/Dribler AML&AMR.

I gave these orders a chance (i've been playing 4-5-1 V-style for some time now) and they proved REALLY ineffective. With all my defenders and DMC on blue arrows, low press and man-to-man marking, the opposition really tore my defense to shreds!!! They kept passing in my penalty box to their liking, managing to bring the ball in the 6 yard box at will and shooting from close range! Sorry, I don't know how this can work, I find zonal marking and hard pressing a better option. Every time I've played with low press the opposition gets in my penalty area with no problem and can arrive close to the goal without being contested.

Hello
My 3w-1-3w-1-2 defensive counter attack tactic seems to work but i am thinking to switch to 4-1-3w-2 tactic... I am thinking of defensive counter attack from wings again, what is your suggestion? Should i use an attacking style? My team has 120% quality for my level.. I have good wingers

Making this cause i still see many players being confused about formations & orders..Hope this helps out

Those are very basic and yet winning tactics that i used. If you've got questions about any other tactics
don't hesitate to post down here. I'll try to answer as soon as possible.

I noticed there are no Offside trap in all the formation. Why?

Just going to point out, this list was posted over 1 year ago. Changes to the game engine, cause what worked previously, to no longer work.

The best managers (which I think includes the OP Beckstar), understand that when the programming code of the game engine has obviously changed, we as managers have to adjust and figure out what works post-update.
