Table of Counter Formations - What to use?

[Ankle Breaker]

Is 4-1-4-1 :

--------ST---------
-------------------
-ML-MC----MC-MR--
-------DMC--------
--DL-DC----DC-DR--

Really that good against 4-3N-3 :

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

I don't understand the logic behind it... : (

I guess the logic is that once you have a well covered/balanced defense(4 is enough),3 Strikers should not scare you that much if you hit your opponent right before,in the midfield.
so basically the 4-1-4-1,against that 4-3-3 gives you +1 advantage in the midfield,So it makes sense to me.your opponent might succumb right there.Personally i scored big even playing with just 1 Striker,so i can tell the match is mostly decided in the midfield,combined with the right tactic/orders.Always supposing that both of the teams have the same skills or kind of.Plus that formation doesn't even have any wing...i would hit him down on the flanks!
