OSM 24 Counter Tactics Against Teams That Use the Wings 2024
In the brand-new article of our series prepared with the contribution of Vialand Theme Park, the OSM Counter Tactic series, I will cover what kind of tactics we should use against opponents who use the wings and which line tactics we should use. I have three different tactics for you. If the opponent uses the wings, they are most likely playing either 4-3-3 or 3-4-3. I will share three different methods you can use against these kinds of tactics.

OSM 24 Counter Tactics Against Wing Play: The Mirror Tactic
If you are stronger than the opponent and have a squad suited to wing play, copying the opponent's tactic can make sense. For example, if the opponent plays 4-3-3-A, you play 4-3-3-A too. With this formation, you both adapt to the opponent's game plan and use your own strengths. By copying the opponent's tactic, you can establish balance in the match while also keeping your own team's strengths.
Tactical Formation and Playing Style:
- Attack: Wing play
- Forwards: Attack
- Midfield: Support defense
- Defense: Stay in position
- Defensive style: Zonal marking
- Offside trap: None
- Tempo: 65-70
- Pressing: 78
- Style: Attacking
This tactic aims to copy the opponent's game plan and hit them with their own weapons. In particular, to neutralize the opponent's strong wingers, you can attack down the wings and exploit their weak points. With zonal marking and high pressing, try not to leave any space for the opposing players.
OSM 24 Counter Tactics Against Wing Play: 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 Tactics
If the opponent uses the wings, I recommend using the 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 tactics. These formations neutralize the opponent's wing play by keeping the midfield crowded. They help you stop the opponent's wing attacks by keeping your defensive line strong.
4-5-1 Formation:
- Midfield: 1 defensive midfielder, 2 central midfielders
- Attack: Shoot on sight
- Forwards: Attack
- Midfield: Support defense
- Defense: Stay in position
- Defensive style: Zonal marking
- Offside trap: None
- Tempo: 60-65
- Pressing: 65
- Style: Defensive
4-2-3-1 Formation:
- Midfield: 1 defensive midfielder, 2 central midfielders, 1 attacking midfielder
- Attack: Shoot on sight
- Forwards: Attack
- Midfield: Support defense
- Defense: Stay in position
- Defensive style: Zonal marking
- Offside trap: None
- Tempo: 60-65
- Pressing: 65
- Style: Defensive
These formations help you take control of the midfield while neutralizing the opponent's wing play. By building a crowded midfield, you can close off the opponent's passing lanes and put them in a difficult position with quick attacks. With the Shoot on sight tactic, you can be effective by attacking quickly when you have the ball.

5-2-3-A Tactics
This tactic lets you pull a surprise move against opponents who use the wings. In this formation, your wing-backs and wingers should be attacking, while your other players should be defensive. By waiting for the opponent to come down the wings, you can use those gaps for your own attacks.
Tactical Formation and Playing Style:
- Attack: Wing play
- Forwards: Attack
- Midfield: Support defense
- Defense: Stay in position
- Defensive style: Zonal marking
- Offside trap: None
- Tempo: 69
- Pressing: 49
- Style: Defensive
With this formation, you can defend strongly against the opponent's attacks while being effective with quick attacks down the wings. By using the attacking abilities of your wing-backs and forwards, you can exploit the opponent's defensive weaknesses and create scoring chances.
Tactic Details and Implementation Strategies
What matters in all three tactics is stopping the opponent's wing play and making effective attacks by using your own strengths. By keeping the midfield crowded, you can close off the opponent's passing lanes and increase your time on the ball. In attack, you can exploit the opponent's defensive weaknesses by using your wide players.
Not using the offside trap lets you be more flexible against the opponent's quick attacks. When using this tactic, it is important that your defensive line is careful and does not let opposing players find open space. Zonal marking, in turn, makes it harder for opposing players to be effective and helps you disrupt their game plans.
What Are the Advantages of the 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 Formations?
The 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 formations allow you to defend effectively against opponents' wing attacks. The crowded structure in midfield reduces the opponent's time on the ball and turns the tempo of the game in your favor. These formations can also use the strength of your attacking line to trouble opposing defenses and create scoring chances. The mirror tactic adapts to the opponent's game plan, while the 4-5-1 and 4-2-3-1 formations control the midfield and neutralize the opponent's wing play.
With these tactics, you can neutralize opponents who use the wings and take control of the game. When applying the tactics, remember to make adjustments based on your team's strength and your opponent's playing style. Every team and every match is different, so you can get the best results by keeping your tactics flexible.
