ok here's my situation,i'm 4th in my league,not that far from the 1st,and my next match is against him,in few hours. i can just show you my formation and his. then you probably understand why i got this doubt. you don't wanna let 1 star players even touch the field against a strong player,unless it's really necessary,when you have way stronger players,doesn't matter what formation i'm gonna counter.

this is the overview: Formation or Skills??-untitled.jpg

then His formation: Formation or Skills??-untitled-1.jpg

and finally my formation: Formation or Skills??-untitled-2.jpg

i think i'm gonna counter him with 3 wide defenders as it shows in picture,even if he might be so dangerous with his V style.but i'm still open to any other suggestion.
