Need help against 4-1-3W-1-1 (lost 1:3 first match)

Hi Guys,

I need help against 4-1-3W-1-1. I lost my first cup match against it today. I used 4-5-1 V shape but got one of the lowest scores on most of my players they had ever received. His level is 1 higher than mine but the quality of the teams is fairly equal.

My match is tomorrow. Does anyone have any bright ideas? I'm all ears. I'm thinking of going 4-1-2-3. The RNG Gods might be on my side this time...

I usually use 3142

Thanks for the comment, mate. Do you go 3N or 3W? 3N I suppose.

Yes 3N

Well, I beat him 2-1 in the away game. It was not enough obviously but a little bit comforting at least. Started off with 3N-1-4-2, scored a first-minute goal. But then he got a lot more chances and equalized in the 30th min. I switched to 4-1-3W-2. Nothing seemed to change. So, I switched to 4-1-2-3. Managed to score another goal, and get him a red card and a good free-kick opportunity for me in the 90th min but could not capitalize on that.
