[HELP] Team Instructions for counter attacking football

[JMocks]

What are the ideal team instructions for playing counter attacking football? When it comes to making a counter tactic, I'm not that good... Any help would be appreciated!

Well, there are some "classic" counter-attacking Instructions, but most of these, depend on your tactical formation and player roles. Playing 4-2-3-1 counter is not like playing 5-3-2 counter. This is just the first step. Then player roles come into play, which have a huge impact on how your players actually work on the field. From personal experience, i found out that 4-2-3-1 and 5-3-2 (wing backs) - 1DM- 2MC are the best counter-attacking formations for my personal style of play. 4-2-3-1 is more versatile, since you can approach the game in more ways than with the 5-3-2, although 5-3-2 is somehow safer in defense.

Regarding to your initial question, I will try to answer, although is hard to answer to an unfinished question

Hit Early Crosses, Go Route One, Clear Ball to flanks, More Direct Passes, Whipped Crosses, Pass into Space. These are "classic", but as I said, it all comes down to your tactical approach, formation and player roles. If you tried to created a tactic, post it here and we can help much more.

To answer your question, I like to use a WB formation, specifically the one you mentioned.
