Had lots of conflicting advice!!!!

No arrows on fullbacks usually against wingers. With 4132 the fullbacks are needed to provide width, why I train them with equal ratings. If they have no wingers (aml amr mr ml) then red arrows. I once did blue arrows on full backs when they have much stronger aml amr and dl and dr then mine whilst I had stronger mid then him. Even then I was playing at home and can afford my full backs not providing attacking threat.

Against offence formation, force counter attack is v good way to win against it. The only thing is you do need to have a strong def to play that. My best players were my defenders until recently. (My strikers suxed balls and cant hit the barn door in the first two season so I splashed out on the most expensive striker on the market.)

Okay thanks for the advice, my defence is pretty strong I've only conceded about 10 goals all season (most against attacking formations similar to this).
My strikers seem to be on and off, they score a hat trick in both games one day and then nothing the day after (full stamina bar on both).
I've never really tried the force counter attack option because I was unsure whether it limits my shots or not?

I'm away from home the first leg so I want to build up a bit of a lead or just grab some away goals to lower the pressure at home, without conceding too many.
