palyo 11 Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 the easiest way to counter a formation is to use the same formation but set it up to exploit opponent's rating deficiencies \ make use of your rating superiority \ enhace your attack or defense in an equal game. you can achieve all this with arrows and team instructions. of course you can also achieve this by changing formation but if you go that way remember that a formation only tackles 1 aspect of another formation. for example 433a tackles 4231b midfield and exploits the defensive midfielders which limits 4231b attacking potential but doesnt help you much in terms of scoring goals. you can also go with 424 against 4231b that exploits 4231b defense - in an equal game its possible to outscore them, if you're stronger then its likely you would outscore them. then again as mentioned formations can be played in different ways so you can enhance different areas of your team. its not as simple as formation vs formation, might seem that way in public gameworlds but not the case in competitive private ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milanista1 1,765 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 @palyo Good day and good health to you. Do you advise us with the above 👆 information because you (clearly) know how the game engine works? Or is it from years of experience playing around with the different formations on SM.

And start winning games from now on too! Note, if you have used this advice and lost a game, please post it in this thread so I can have a careful look and maybe change it. NOTE NOTE: It seems that after SM changed, the counters have mostly stopped working as well as before, as randomisation has been added chance results are more likely to happen (i.e. 352 might not thrash a 442 and 433 wingers might lose to 352 etc.) if you encounter such results post the report here and me and fellow forumers will help you out P.S. I have un-subscribed from this thread myself due to increasing work load and other reasons. What instructions should be given? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patron 95 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 What is the best formation to beat 4-3-2-1 B? League max rating 80, so every team has similar ratings. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are people still using this 'bible' guide? I find it very useful, but advice on the best instructions would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
