Advice to play against 3-3-2-1-1

[Accyrover]

It's a tough one to crack I played that way today away from home and go a good win, though I played three DC's.
The best I can suggest is the V with three DC's and put two strikers up top.
Game orders seem all to cock at the moment, some reporting good results playing defensive, problem being that formation needs attacking.
At a guess I'd say he is playing with arrows on his DML/DMR check them out see if they are dual position if they have MR/ML beware of the arrows, DL/DR then it's not to bad.
The V should stop him playing through your centre, your problem is going to be getting the ball upto your AML/AMR to feed the strikers.
Depending how good his ST is against your best DC you could possible try and spread the back three like he has and try down the flanks or mixed.
The V is pretty good in defensive mentality as it gives you six MF players against his six, I think I'd edge on the side of caution and go that way with force counter, maybe even long passing trying to catch him really quick.
I don't want to commit to giving the standard orders, as I said I think and so do others that the game engine has been tweaked a little this season.
Anyway good luck and hope it gives you some ideas.
