Very strong tactic indeed. I'm playing Sutton U right now in their second season. Tried V3 the previous season and it was good, but not great. As preseason picked at #2, my side wasn't bad for the competition but I under performed for half the season and struggled to clinch playoffs, but still ended up promoted via playoffs. I got a couple free's that fit the system and it helped but still struggled at times.
Second season, first one in VNL, was trying out different tactics and really started off slow. You put out V5 and I tried it out and I took off to a 13 game unbeaten streak which put me in the top 5 of the table. Fouls were a BIG problem for most of the year for the tactic, but once it became fluid, the issue started going away. Just won the FA Trophy and am fighting for league winner. 5 games left and up by 2 points. But I'm starting to run into serious problems.
Since I've been fighting for top spot, teams have become a lot more defensive/countering. Because of my slow defense, counter attacks hurt. Couple that it with the shabby decision making of my midfield, I have lot's of counter attacks to deal with.
But I've noticed I have big problems against 442. It doesn't matter if they are high or deep, I seem to struggle against it.
Is there any shouts that would help against them? Generally I go retain possession and slow it down more against deep teams, but when they are pressing, I don't have any luck with direct passing and faster play.
Any ideas?
