What's the name of this formation? How to counter it?

[SoccerFreak]

Hey guys, I will face a team that has this type of formation



The formation looks pretty solid in the midfield and the defense.. Any suggestion how to counter this team? What I think is that I shouldn't use amr and aml since he has dml and dmr..

Any thoughts, please? If possible please suggest some orders too..

Thank you.

I think 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond will counter this formation.

Since your opponent's DML/DMR are not very strong, only 1 and 2 stars, there is no need to worry about your flanks. Use up arrows on your DR/DL.

And you can see there is a gap between the three MCs and the three DCs, so you should employ your AMC inside this gap and he will shine.

Use short passing and focus on the middle. Good luck!

Firstly, thanks for the reply.

Since he got 3 in the midfield, isn't it better to use 3 MCs and 1 ST? Because what I thought is that, I should use the same number of MCs in order to match his midfield.. What do you think?

I've observed the formation of his team, this several hours.. Sometimes he changed his formation to this formation:



What do you suggest against his other formation?

EDIT:

For the second formation I'm planning to use this formation:

DL-DC-DC-DR
-------------
---MC-MC----
AML-AMC-AMR
------ST-----

I wanna use this formation because he got no dmc that can cover my amc (if use one), and I will use whole pitch pressure, since his rating is lower than me.. What do you think?
