strange formation, possible cup opponent

[crsbrwn2000]

Hi, I have been looking ahead at possible opponents in the cup, and have come across a formation which seems a bit odd. He plays a flat back four, dmc, aml, amc, amr and two strikers. Any thoughts on how to counter this?

I would try 3 5 2 flat, but that's just me. I do not know if that will work for your team.

Thought about that, but it would leave me short at the back. Was considering the 'TimYoung' special 413n2 to cover his wingers and amc, whilst taking advantage of the fact he has no mcs

Well, if you have good guys for those roles, go for it if you like that idea.
