Looking for solid formation against 43n3 when playing away at higher level team

[crsbrwn2000]

Tried that last season twice, lost twice. any other suggestions? Was thinking 5131

I will suggest a 4-1-4-1 then. Play it defensive, mixed passing, long balls with the counter attack. See how that works out.

agree, I play with a 4-3-3, and a 4-1-4-1 deleted my team in the last cup.

PD: i have free time and can not sleep so I will ilustrate a 43n -3 LOL

PD2, yeah, I have sense of humor.

the only formation that I can suggest is 5-2(MC)-2(AML/AMR)-1 but you want to play it defensive...

[crsbrwn2000]

Am expecting a backlash from his team, most of his players had poor ratings, only 4 were 7 or 8, he had a player sent off and I only won 1-0. Hence thinking defensive

[dv8r]

I was thinking the opposite. If they had poor ratings, using an attacking formation would have punished him further. Look at his players recent ratings, you can target his weak spots. If his MCs are consistently getting 5s and 6s then aim for the middle, that would be the key.

[crsbrwn2000]

His team normally average a seven across the board, sometimes higher. He does seem to be on a bad run though, 4 losses and a draw in his last 5 games and has changed his formation to 502n12
