Considering he isn't playing with attacking midfielders a:-) nd he has a couple of DMCs, you'll want to go with a flat midfield. 3-5-2, 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 with attacks either down the flanks or mixed would work well.
Your team looks considerably weaker to me, so I would definitely not go with only 3 defenders. Opt for 4-4-2, 4-5-1 or even 5-4-1.
Why not go with 3N at back as his opponent has no wingers upfront??????
I will say 3N-4-2W-1 mixed or down the flanks. I agree with the Midfield wall point, Killer bee. I will just suggest 3N behind and AML/AMR as there r 2 DMCs so no use of AMCs and his DL/DR will be busy with his AML/AMR.
Well, even 3N-3W-2W-2 shall work as his lone DC can be exploited by 2 STs.
But, IMO, the result depends on Trol Mourinho as I lost yesterday when I played AML/AMR down the flanks against a team without any DL/DR/DML/DMR, that is no wing defence. And they kept a clean sheet!!!! That is pathetic. I was 1st 7 matches back and am now 3rd, 15 points behind 1st and 3 behind 2nd. 2nd have some tough matches coming up so I Amy come 2nd. If I end up coming 3rd or below, I am going to Quit the game.
