How to counter 5-2-2-1

[hoddle]

Hello

Anyone has tactics on how to counter the below formation? I have used 4-2DMC-3W-1 but lost 1-2 at home in the cup. I have used red arrow on DL,DR and 2 wingers. Help needed to overturn in away game.


DR-DC-DC-DC-DL
MC-MC
AMC-AMC
ST

Dont try to counter this. Better play with generic system like 4-4-2 which gives you 4 def and 4 mc cover the zone between them

If you got equal or higher quality and noone underperforms in your team, will be an easy victory, good luck !!!

Hi Spyros

I followed your advise but tweaked it to 4-4-1-1 with AMC instead of 2 ST. This AMC was my MVP for the match. Away game with 0-2 win aggregate of 3-2. Progress to Qtr final. Thank you.

Hey there! Great to know you have managed to qualify for next round, after a first leg home defeat 1-2.

Good luck with next game
