I'd probably use 4-5-1 to gain ball possession in the midfield so his MCs and MR/ML do not have many chances to feed the ball to his STs. If his team is stronger, I'd use hard tackling and whole pitch so we limit the chance of getting fouls near the box and control the midfield. Mixed focus and mixed passing. Blue arrows on two DCs.




..................... Won 3-0. He changed to 4-1-3w-2. I went with 4-5-1v-style, attack flanks. Whole pitch, hard tackle &mxd passing. At 60 mins I switched to 3n-1-4-2. Normal, short pass, mxd/ flames Hard tackle whole pitch.
Thanks for everyone's help
