Best formations to counter 5-2-2(AML/AMR)-1

[Luís Couto]

I would have played 3W-3N-2W-2 since he has only one forward, but a massive defense.
Mentality like at 4-5-1 V-style (mixed passing, down both flanks).

If he gives you trouble trough the center you can set a blue arrow on the central MC.

OK, thank you very much for your advice.

I was thinking in that choice, 3 defenders since he has only one ST and reinforce my attack zone to battle with the 5 defence line and block it.

I have only two ST's but i'll try that choice for the first half. If i doesn't get any result i'll back with my basic formation 4-5-1 v style.

Thanks a lot
