First , the table of counter formation which is made by SOMEONE is not a holy book .
It is old and not tested enough by other manager with adequate tools , factors, and orders ( players etc...) so don't follow it blindly but use it as reference.

Second, the formation and counter formation depends on the PLAYERS .
Don't expect to win if you have 3 donkeys and 2 chickens out of 11 players even if you play with the right formation / counter formation

Three of course there are other small and hidden details that also play a factor in the game result other than C/Fs ...

So yea if you're a smart manager with a decent team ( 90-110 %) you should set up a counter formation against stronger or equal power team ...
