Thanks leefisher, i won the cup. i use 3-1-5-1 as per your advise to counter 4-1-2-1-2 (ND). You should add on the force counter attack

Opponent strength level 6 (44)
My strength level 5 (40)

3 hour from now, i have another league match, opponent same formation. i will maintain the same formation. Let see how it goes

Congratulations. I'm against the same formation in my CL final tomorrow. My problem is its 5 minutes after my league game finishes which mean's I'll have to be quick changing the team around!
