counter 3n-3w-1-1-2

[whiterabbit]

hello guys i will face this team in cl. we also are in the same league and friends in the game. His team is 29.9q with starting eleven over 33 quality me team in 23 quality with starting eleven 27q. I usually play 4-4-2 but as i basically lack the personal for other formation. I have no dmc and no amc/amr/aml nor dmr dml. And only 2 strikers).

He plays this formation dc-dc-dc
dmr-dmc-dml
--mc--------
amc-----
st-----st

He sometimes moves the dmc to mc and the amc to amr....now considering that his team is full of 5stars and the strikers and goalie 6 stars what do u think is the best solution for me to beat him? In the league we played twice i played a 4-1-3-2 and lost 2-1 and a 4-1-3w-2 and lost 3-2. Shots and possesion were pretty equal both of us were watching the games.

Please if u have a magic solution for this formation would appreciate it

I think 4-5-1 V style will get the job done. Attack both flanks with long passes and i think you should use man-on-man marking.

I once used this formation against the 3n-3w-1-1-2 last 3 weeks, and i won 3-0.. but i was playing against a weaker team. But i'm quite confident with 4-5-1 V because your dmc can block his amc's attack, and you can take advantage of the absence of the fullbacks with 4 players on your flanks. Put red arrows on your wingers. But if he manages to change his formation in the middle of the game, i suggest you to try to gamble your formation. Look for what he has and what he does not have in his formation and take advantage of it.

Goodluck from a newbie.
