I think I never had good results whilst playing with low pressure, but many managers support it. I feel like it's the same as tackling: careful tackling and low pressure just gimme an impression that players don't put enough effort, ending up underperforming.

[DMFArranhado98]

There are other factors to consider besides formations. That's not everything that matters. Style of play and offside trap provide valuable info for us to set up a countering tactic.
So, next time you'll face an opponent playing in such formation, feel free to HMU and we'll work it out.

[DMFArranhado98]

I play with offside trap when playing offensively and when my opponent doesn't play through wing play. I play without it when I play defensively and when my opponent doesn't play with shoot on sight.
About marking, I never use man-on-man marking - given all the criticizing I got from post-match commentators whenever I used it. MoM marking should be better when you play with only three defenders and when your opponent plays with more than one forward only - but I never set such a week defense line in cases where that happens.

Although, I was talking about reports from the Data Analist, regarding your opponents. I still let you know how I feel about what you asked me now, but, yeah, I felt what you misunderstood what I said before.
I rather set my tactics according to my opponents' ones instead of focusing on setting an undefeatable tactic - which I don't believe there is.

[DMFArranhado98]

So what do I have to do when somebody plays through wing play in a 4-3-3 formation, for example?

It'll depend on your team values and on if your opponent defends with offside trap or not.
As I said before, each scenario requires a different approach.

Commentaries said, at both of my matches, that my players felt good in this formation and played very well.

This is because you linked your chosen formation to a proper style of play.
Both 4-4-2B PG and 4-5-1 SOS are good setups.

They both said my attackers weren't efficient enough, but i had Ronaldo on striker position in a match. I should've won on paper.

Maybe your Ronaldo was still worse than your opponent's defenders.
It's all about relative qualities. It doesn't only take your players to be absolutely good; they gotta be better than their opponents in order to thrive.

Is in the crew battle league with Al-Ittihad. So do you have any idea on what went wrong in both matches?

I'm also managing Al-Ittihad on my current battle - and I haven't been to win yet for my first seven matches on the league.

Theory doesn't work all the times.
My squad is the second best on the competition...

... and I still fail at winning matches - despite my better stats on a few matches.
If you visit some official fonts, you'll always see that one of factors to consider regarding OSM simulations is luck. So, you may be on a unlucky streak of two matches... but I'm a lot worse over here.

Is there even an good formation to beat 433? I feel like EVERYONE is playing 433 in this game and it just depends on who has the better team. When i play with 451 or 4231 against 433 it just doesnt matter..

Yes! Indeed all my friends play this tactic as well, i have tried many tactics and simply say that beating 433 is possible by 442A.

Pressure 45
Offense 40
Tempo 75
Aggro play style
zonal def, and no offside.

You better keep your defence in their zone, and midlaners to support forward, make sure forward only looks for scores!

Let me know by your score

[jibzoo]

@The_Maczmann do you happen to have a good 4231 to play at home ??

[DMFArranhado98]

Are you asking for slider values?

[DMFArranhado98]

It'll have to take in consideration your squad: make you line up your best players on your team and that they play on their positions.

[DMFArranhado98]

You forgot about the most important: style of play...

[jibzoo]

Yes
I’m Stronger team.

[DMFArranhado98]

That different matters a lot...

[DMFArranhado98]

In that case:

4-2-3-1
Shoot On Sight
Forward supporting midfield | Midfield holding position | Defenders defending deep
Zonal Marking
No offside trap
Defensive (30) style
High-speed passing (60-80) tempo

[mohammed noaman]

hi guys, i wanna play 3232 ( 5 forwards )

please any suggestion for tactics ?

[The_Maczmann]

@jibzoo Yes, 451 SOS, marking zone, no offside
Pressure : 72
Style : 49
Tempo : 53

[DMFArranhado98]

Playing with five forwards should be the worst option available on the game, given its massive unbalance.
Regardless of that, here you go:

• long ball
• forward falling back to defense
• midfielders holding position
• defenders defending deep
• offside trap ON
• attacking (70) style
• one-touch football (80-100) tempo

@DMFArranhado98 It's really interesting finding managers using random formations and tactics though. I'm intrigued to find what the results of his matches are.
