Great Job but it depends on enemy's setting, and in live match we will know

[Adam T. Brown]

Hey Adam, that's great question and im sure not many have the knowledge about the game to give you a corect answer.
In general Man to man gets you higher tackle number and that's good most of the times.
Stopping their attack right away.. this would make your defense better but also make players lose more condition.
However against stronger teams i would be careful.. since instead of tackle this could generate more fouls.. and that's dangerouse.
Going zonal is safer, going Man to man is risky.

If you've got players in the right position to cover opponent's attack then go with Man to man
for example: He is playing 4-4-2 Diamond (dmc mc mc amc) and you've got 4-5-1 V style, you could use Man to man and put blue arrow on DC DC and DMC to cover his attackers better.

p.s:I'm at work right now so i can't come up with more examples and explaining but i'll do that in few hours
I'll check the top formations and try to explain every setting and the reason why it should be set this way.

Good stuff man, thanks. There also was a bump today on the man marking vs. zonal marking thread which was helpful as well.

Very informative thread, now i'll be able to understand these formations more clearly. Contrary to this i want to hear your thoughts on 4-2-3-1. DL-DC-DC-DR MC-MC -AML-AMC-AMR ST

This would defenetlly be an attacking formation with red arrows on AML/AMC/AMR and 2 blue arrows on central Defenders
GK DL DC DC DR MC MC AML AMC AMR ST

I personally use this sometimes when i have to score, simply sub my DMC with an AMC and my defensive 4-5-1V style goes attacking 4-2-3-1 This formation is almost equal to the 4-2-2-2 attacking but some settings would be different.

Team Mentality: Attacking
Focus Passing: Mixed
Force Counter-Attacks: No
Pressing Style: High (Whole pitch)
Tackling Style: Normal
Passing Style: Short (Sometimes you could use mixed but i prefer short as MC AMC and ST are in close to eachother.
Marking Style: Zonal

One last thing.. use this formation in a safe way.Would work good against weak opponents as it's very attacking but may go wrong against some stronger teams. Goodluck

Can we use this formation as Defensive?

Hey, i don't think that a GK DL DC DC DR MC MC AML AMC AMR ST can be defensive.
You can use it as defensive and win most of the times but attacking would bring better results.

Please help me with orders and tactics . My team 3-1-4-1-1. I play home, and my team and his team are same quality.

Please help me with orders and tactics . My team 3-1-4-1-1. I play home, and my team and his team are same quality.

I've used this and would go like this

Normal
Low
Mixed passing and mixed focus
counterattacks on
normal tackling
offside trap on
zonal
Basically you are trying to dominate your opponent's midfield and counter his counter attacks this formation is good vs 4231 and 4321

you can also run man to man with high focus if he switches to a short passing defensive formation such as 352flat
