I need help with this defensive formation 3-3-1-2-1

Hey dude! Your brother is in my squad!

Just kidding

Sorry for the interuption.

I think your opponent was trying to counter your formation by placing DML and DMR to block your winger and a DMC to intercept any pass from the center. He probably use counter attack from the flank to exploit the empty spot on your wing left by the AML and AMR because the 2 of them are too far to help the wingbacks to cover your opponent's wingers. And he proved to succeeded to counter your formation.

As for the formation I suggest for you to play 3W-5-2 or 3W-1-4-2 defensive and counter attack from flank. The idea behind attacking from the flanks is because mathematically there are 5 players in the center area (1 MCs, 1 DMC and 3 DCs) which is a very tight defense. While on the flank he only have 2 marker, which are the wingbacks and an extra DC that is close to the wing back to provide extra cover. The defensive mentality makes your opponent's player come forward to attack you and it makes the gap between each player farther thus makes it easier to get pass by your winger.

That's my 2 cent bro.

Lol what a coincidence man , I hope he's scoring a lot of goals

Thanks for your reply , first of all my opponent plays with this formation in all of his games , He doesn't change it ever .
So , I don't think he was trying to counteract my formation , I think it was just a coincidence .

I was thinking to play with this formation 3W-3MC-2AMC-2ST with Center attacking and short passing
I thought of this because 2 of his DC's are 4* and one of thim is 5* but he's also weaker than my ST or AMC .

What do you think about this strategy ?
