5-1-1-2-1 counter

[buyi]

Any update for a good formation against 5-1-1-2-1 like this:

DR-DC-DC-DC-DR
----------DMC--------
-------MC--MC------
----------AMC--------
---------ST------------

I lost my home match 0:1 against him with the attached formation (yellow points were my players) using: attacking, down both flanks, short passing, counter on. I had 60% ball possesion, 12 shots (he 10) 92% completed passes (he 84%), 1 saves (he 4 saves):

----DC-DC-DC------
----------DMC--------
MR----MC--MC------
--------------------AML
---------ST------------



He is 80%, I'm at 88% both level 2 and play cup semi final. I'm playing tomorrow away and need to win with a 2 goal difference to get to the cup final. I guess he will play very defensive again and force counters with long passes. Any recommendations / tips for my possible line up? I will play with my ML as I don't have an AML. The match will be in 18 hours so team will be fully recovered

Any feedback?

Hopefully this reply isn't late.

3w-5-2v/3w-5-2 flat/3w-1-2n-3w-1, something along these lines should work for a formation. Plenty of options.
