This midfield based attacking formation can prove devastating if left unchecked. Luckily you can use the formation's momentum against it with counter attacks down the flanks or exploit the lack of DMC's or DML/DMR's to counter any AMC's or AML/AMR's of your own.

At any rate, when playing against 3-4-3 you should have more midfielders than the opponent, this can be achieved in many ways, some of which are explained below.

Defending and counter-attacking examples:
This work well with defensive or normal mentality, pressing your own half with mixed passing and force counter.
