Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[Luis Leal]

playing against the 4-1-4-1 formation, I've read some of the counter formation tips and from my understanding, typically you want as many midfielders as your opponent but the suggested counter is 3W-4-3 is one short. Noticed a few people suggest the DMC's main value is to counter an opponents AMC, otherwise the DMC is fairly useless. Is this why the 3W-4-3 should be effective against the 4-1-4-1?

Just played someone in the cup with 4141, first leg lost 3-1 away with 3w-4-3. tried same formation at home and was 2-0 down in little over half an hour, switched to 352 flat at half time and won 3-2.

Thanks! I'll try that out next time
