jeffy hirschbeck Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 A quick question for the tactical gurus out there... I've had some success with a pretty standard Rule of One 4-4-2 playing a lower Scottish league side, but keep running into problems when I face a team that uses an odd-man midfield (3-5-2 or 4-5-1) -- it all goes sideways whether my opponent is a upper-division side or dead last in my league. I know a lot of folks have success using OI to combat these sorts of formations, but I'm really at a loss as to how it would be best accomplished against these formations (and especially when they aren't using their wingers as attackers -- either using a flat 4-5-1 or a defensive 3-5-2 with the outside players as WBs). It seems like closing down on three MCs makes it impossible to hold a good defensive shape, and leaving the wings unmarked yields chance after chance at the far post. Thoughts? All thanks to St. Jude for favors granted... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
