MAJOR OWNAGE

This is the best smash and grab ever! Slight possession in my favor, but they have better passing, tackling, and headers percentage completed. I started the game with a 4-1-3-2 sort of formation. 4 defenders, 1 dm, 3 am's(amr/l, and amc with farrow) and two strikers(aguero and ibrahimovic). Seven minutes in, Zlatan scores and I notice he has a knock. So since I'm up a goal, I decide to try a new approach to stall in midfield, so i introduce hargreaves in the form of another dm, alongside mascherano. Now I am playing a 4-2-3-1. Within minutes my players started counter-attacking very very effectively, scoring loads, and not really missing either. Out of seven shots, six were on target and all found the back of the net. When I played with Valencia away, I beat them 2-0 so its not really their players or anything. Villa, Zigic, Vicente, Joaquin, Silva, and co. are all playing.

Now I just have to find out which ****** missed their one shot so I can give them a two weeks fine

btw, if anyone is confused, this is concerning the one v. one bug people frequently encounter.

Final Result


Couldn't brake through the Valencia defense in the second half. I didn't really have that many chance since this is mainly a defensive formation. The Valencia Manager had obviously straightened his players out at half time because they performed a somewhat better in the second half. My players, up by 6, obviously felt no need to add more. I felt like I was in an alternate universe. The AI and I had switched roles. They were missing sitters left and right, and I was scoring from every chance I got.

Well, I'm delighted with this match. I sure as hell know that if Valencia had done this to me, I would be extremely mad and flaming SI on these forums right now. :p

yeah it's a good tactic

why you should ask

it works because
- you have a good keeper and a very good defense that can stop the opposition any time
- the two dm's are excellent i there positions so they performer very well clearing balls and feeding the counter attacks with long balls
- the amc can create massive holes in the defense by pulling them wide or penetrating in the middle
- the lone striker is a goal machine that simple

it's not that hard with high flying clubs to get results

in my barcelona game playing with 4 defenders 1 dm 2 mc 2 wingman and a lone striker

henry managed to score in this formation 55 games 65 goals impressive

but it was at a very good team with world class players. when i tried this tactic at a smaller club whe sync because there where no quality dm or that good striker etc

so it might work what you suggest but only in some cases
