QuestioN: 3N-3W(DMC-DML-DMR)-2W (AML-AMR)-2 against 3n-3w-1-3

[George Campos de Oliveira]

Hello fellows.
I have one question.
I am trying to set a team to face a very strong team that is using this formation:
--------G----------
----DC-DC-DC-----
-------------------
ML-----MC------MR
-------AMC--------
----ST-ST-ST-----

Other players in my league lost using 451V style. His DCs are very good. They are week in attack attributes, but very strong in defense ones. HIS AMC IS OUTSTANDING. One of his STs is the top striker on the league. The average quality is about the same. The difference is how are the attributes. He has players with hihg unballanced distribution of skill points. In the Strikers is like 28-45-28 (league 3). In the deffenders is about 45-28-28. He hasnt ballanced players (34/34/34 or something like that).

I guess he is using a defensive mentality (believe or not), becouse he has best defense in all league.

I want to try something new.
What do you guys think about this tactic:
---------G--------
-----DC-DC-DC----
DML----DMC----DMR
-------------------
AML------------AMR
-------ST-ST-------

I am thinking in use attack down both flanks, normal or defensive mentallity with counter-attack, long pass, AND MAN-TO-MAN MARKING. I want to use 2 Strikers. Everybody that used just 1 against his defense failed. He lost 2 games against 4-4-2 teams (but won another 3).
Have I some problem in get no MC? Or I will be destroyed in ball possession?
Please, I need experienced oppinions about what I need to do. Or other tips with otehr tactics.
Thank you all.

nobody?

[littledude072]

yep id go with your formation and tactics. wing backs arent as defensive as side backs

[George Campos de Oliveira]

somebody knows if I will lose many possession for no MC/MR/ML
in the field? I will accept a little loss in ball possession in the name of security and fierce in counter attack

more tips or sugestions? Please, I a needing it, the game is tomorrow.

about the man to amn marking.....is it dangerous?

[littledude072]

you have a CDM and 4 players accross the field, both formations are legal
people say man to man should be used if you have the better team, i havent seen any difference though

[George Campos de Oliveira]

I guess man-to-man is only harder to set up. But since zonal marking inst working fine against him, we need to try something diferent.
Thank you Littledude072
