Hi!..

I know this has been posted before, but there is about 54 pages here, and searching the forum I've not gotten a clearcut answer!
I'm facing a Cup match, against an inferior opponent.

He's playing flat 4-5-1
--------GK--------
-DL--DC--DC--DR
-ML--MC-MC-MC-MR
--------ST--------

Don't know he's strategy, but based on the last game (ended 0-2 with me away) he got the far most shots, inspite of me having 59 % possession.

I've been using a 3-5-2 V style
--------GK--------
--DL---DC----DR-
------DMC(DOWN)-------
-----MC---MC----
--AML(UP)-------AMR(UP)---
------ST---ST-----

It has beeen working so far, until this match. As said before, lost last match 0-2, and meeting him again home in the day after tomorrow. Could really use some advice as to counter that flat 4-5-1. I know it's either a 3-5-2 V or 3-5-2 flat (up the middle), but lacking MR and ML at the moment.

I have a avg. quality of 24, and he's got 21,6.
Doesn't make any sense he wins to me.

Best regards!
Christian
