3N-1-4-2 ........best counter formation?

[The Red Baron]

Hi,
Any ideas please on how to defeat a 3N-1-4-2 formation. I have used the recommended 4-5-1 v-style quite a few times....but this hasnt worked. Further suggestions would be most welcome.....Many thanks.

4-4-2 Classic.

3n-1dmc-4-2 has strong defender at the middle. 4-5-1 v style with correct order maybe can win this. If you are going to attack, try attacking mentality, pass down both flank, zonal mark, no counter att, no offside, short passing, whole pitch. If you are going to defense or normal mentality, go for pass down both flank, zonal mark, no counter att, no offside, mixed passing , own half. And dont put any arrow.

Another good combination to counter this formation is 4-4-2 classic since they only have 3 defender so 2 striker will works well. just put normal mentality, zonal marking, no counter, no offside, mixed passing, focus passing mixed. no arrow.

Why no counter attack? Since the attackers are so spaced out from the defenders short passing would work?
