Whats the best way to beat 3 2W 2 1 2

Hi folks,

I always seem to run into different opinions on how to beat this formation and it makes it difficult for me to decide on the best approach.

----st-----st------
------amc--------
---mc-----mc----
dml----------dmr
---dc--dc--dc----

I have heard people say go down the middle and others say go down the flanks. What is the best approach?

I beat this guy (formation above) by the skin of my teeth last time 1-0 with a 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow Diamond, normal mentality, down the middle,own half, normal tackling, short passing, zonal.

What if I tried this:

-------st----------
------amc--------
---mc-----mc----
dml---dmc---dmr
---dc--dc--dc----

I would be really be grateful if anyone could tell me of a better approach and their experiences.

Thanks,

Shak

I am people have no views on this? Seems to be a topic with many opinions.

Use 2 AMCs and go through middle. Use 3-1-3W-2-1. Your two ML and MR will cancel his two wing backs. Your DMC will cancel his AMC. You will have three DCs against his two STs. Both of your AMCs will be free to attack.

Have you had much success with that and what orders would you give?

Take a look at my post at the end of the page.

It will also depend on the quality difference between your team and the opponent.

I am confused isnt that not against 4 4 2 than a 3 2W 2 1 2.
