3N-1-1-3W-2 anyone played against this??

[Carlito]

Normaly I don't like "counterformations", cause win or loose depends on many other things too. But yesterday I played against 3W-1-1-3w-2 with Dman2's orders against stronger team and won 2-1. I put blue arrows on my DC's and red's on ML&MR, normal mentality (don`t play defense, thats what he wants you to do!), counter, down both flanks. With 3 dc's his flanks are totaly unprotected. If youre better Quality than whole pitch pressing.
No guarantees!!
Wish you luck

cheers guys, going to go with the 4 1 3W 2, as this suits my squad and gives me good flexibility to change as required.
will go attacking to start as i want to take the initiative away from his strong offensive unit, will let you know how it goes.

I do admire the guys who use unorthodox formations though !

well it didn't go well,
lost 2-1 at home ! he got in front and went ultra defensive. Seems to be a tactic of extremes.
Will be going 4-4-2 in 2nd leg, wish me luck!
