Oh hell yeah they do, from time to time I use this, it usually works 70% of the time but you have to understand there's many other factors in play here...

Good luck

Hey bro, go with 5-3-1-1, you'll definitely manage to get yourself a draw (unless someone in your team is injured or gets a red card). Hell, even a win if you're lucky enough. Lyon is not such a bad team even with its default players. Use this:

5-3-1-1
Counter-attack
Zonal
Offside trap: NO
25 / 34 / 75,
Style of play has to depend on the referee color, I guess you know that already.
Your attackers need to Attack Only
Midfielders need to Support the Defense
Defenders need to stay back

Let me know the results, I'm curious.

@RonaldMekDonald — considering the fact that Germany is Germany, I would highly recommend you go with a more defensive tactic, which would most likely get you a draw, or eventually a win (since there are many other factors out there that are in play), so for this particular case I am going to recommend you the 5-3-2 Counter-attack.

5-3-2
Counter-attack
Attackers: Attack only:
Midfielders: Protect the defence
Defenders: Stay back
31 | 31 | 69
Man Marking
Offside Trap: NO

Let me know the results, quite curious to know .

@Darko-Totti 4 times stronger than the opponent? This one should be easy. Plus the 5-3-2 is not that functional with SOS, he has to go Counter-attack.

But anyway, you should hit him with a powerful 4-3-3 B, passing game.

4-3-3 B, | Passing Game | Zonal, Offside Off | 72 / 84 / 66

Let me know the results, i'm quite curious!

Joe McNorthMan

@Darko-Totti I wouldn't advise to use 3-5-2.

And I don't know what previous tactics you used but if you claim that your team is 4x more valued than the opponent, I would definitely recommend you the 4-3-3 B. He simply won't do much against you, maybe a draw? But it's highly unlikely.

Make sure your attackers attack only, midfielders stay neutral, and defenders stay back.

Also the style of play has to depend on the referee color, I think you know that already.

Hi guys!

We are playing a battle and there is this guy who always plays 4231 SOS. He has one of the worst teams, but after 6 days, he has won 5 games and tied 1. What can we do against this tactic? Which is the best way to defeat a 4231 SOS?

It seems that neither 352 nor 523 works for the moment... Maybe 442b PG? I don't know...

@Unayo4 i suggest 442B 50/50/50, zonal and no offside. It worked for me in a crew battle

Joe McNorthMan

@Unayo4 Please, first and foremost let me recommend you from experience to never use 3-5-2, 3-4-3, in Crew Battles, they're some of the worst tactics for the time being in OSM. Especially around Crew Battles because you have 10 days in your disposal, you should either be focusing on going full-attack mode or Counter-attack.

If you claim that he has a team, then you can easily counter him with:

If he's really lucky, then hit him up with a counter-attack tactic, the worse you can do is get away with a draw, which is always better than a defeat.

Joe McNorthMan

Good job.

Hi guys. I'm playing against a much stronger opponent. He's using 3-3-2-2 SOS; what tactics do you suggest so that I can beat him? Thanks in advance.

Since your team is weaker and the opponent is stronger, go for a defensive/counter-attack tactic, this way you'll either get a draw or an eventual win:

@Darko-Totti said in [Official Topic] - Tactics Request:

@Joe-McNorthMan I won 0:4 with 4-3-3b.

What do you think for today's game: http://prntscr.com/u3ymlm I'm playing away (I'm Berlin btw), he offtens play 4-4-2a passing game (btw he is in bad form, have only 1 win and 1 draw in last 5 games)

Continue using 4-3-3 B, this shouldn't be a problem at all, unless you get an injury or a red card.

Unayo4

@Joe-McNorthMan @b-master_NL

Thank you guys! We've tried 433b and it worked a few times. We'll try also the other tactics to compare.

Thanks!

@Tiago-Bogas hi mate,

i think you can play with 4-5-1 shoot on sight.

Joe McNorthMan

@Darko-Totti Hola ,

Leave 4-3-3 B passing if you would like to take a risk... I say it's a risk because you both are good and have good teams, so the propability for a draw is quite high.

But on the other hand, your chances for a win can increase if you decide to go 5-3-1-1 counter attack, you can either get a draw or a win, unless you get a red card or an injury which can make you lose. I don't see how he can win with 4-4-2 B passing against a 5-3-1-1, those are the settings:

Also pay attention to the color of the referee!

Hi!

hi!

I read some people use 4231 with the wingers out of role with discrete results. Do you think it can work o it's bad and self-defeating?

i used to counter-attack with 4231 before or passing game with 451 and it was work.

About the two midfielders, do you suggest two all-round ones or two holding ones?

i suggest all-round.

@Ian-Tasat hi,

How to counter 442a with counter attacking, man marking?

counter of 442A is 532 counter-attack.

His team isn´t better than mine but he usually wins the games against the bots and he tied vs the best of the league

i think you can play 433B with passing game but if you worry you can play 532 counter-attack.

Hello, i'm playing today and it's an away game against the first, my players are almost all above 90 rating but i'm still trying out tactics so my team is not at it's best form yet. Any idea to beat 433 A with wing play, man marking and no offside?

433A WP with 66, 63, 62 as sliders, everybody stays in position, with zonal and no offside. You should win 100%. Especially since you have good players.

Mehmet Reşat Nayır

@txg-345 hi mate,

i think you can play 433B passing game.

Mehmet Reşat Nayır

@Zika-Peric hi mate,

you can play wing play with 433a.

Mehmet Reşat Nayır

@Vincyred hi mate,

i suggest you can play tiki taka with 442b, forvards is attack only, midfielders is stay in position, defenders is defend deep, passing is 55, style is 60 and tempo is 65. by the way, if you lose, don't be angry with me.

good luck.
