4-1-1-3-1 formation

[Patrick Muijderman]

My next CL match is against a 4-1-1-3-1 formation.

Ive never seen it before and Im not really sure how to set up my formation against it.

4-1-1-3-1
-------ST-------
AML--AMC--AMR
-------MC------
------DMC------
DL--DC--DC--DR

I was thinking 4-5-1V, but I think, next to 5 (or 6) midfields, I will need another ST to be able to break thru its heavy defense. I'm currently using butterfly, but all 4 of my wingers will be shadowed.

Unfortunately I do not have the players to use the 3-4-1-2 formation.

Any thoughts?

Lol I started out using butterfly. Then I noticed he changed formation to 4-5-1 flat. I got 2-0 behind in 1st half.

2nd half I changed to 4-5-1V. In 45 seconds I came back to 2-2. Then he made it 3-2 so I changed my dmc to an extra st and set all my wingers to red arrows and changed to extra attack ment.

I closed the match 3-3
