    I am aware that 3-2-3-2 does counter a 4-3-2-1 (which I play) but not sure if it matters as my team is a lot better.

    don't play ever with 4 3 2 1

    use 4 4 2 or if you wanted to use the AMC you have .. then use 4 4 1 1 with normal mentality ... short passing ... down both flanks /Mixed as you want ... own half ... counter attack ... offside trap.

    I've looked through this thread but can't find anything to counter his formation. He is using 4-4-1-1
    DL DC DC DR
    ML MC MC MR
    AMC
    ST

    Would love all the advice you could give. Cheers
    3 1 4 1 1 or 3 1 4 2

    Thanks
    as mentioned at 1st page
    4-2-2-2

    DL--DC-DC--DR
    ----MC-MC----
    AML--------AMR
    ------ST--ST----
    Some people however may change the MC-MC to a DMC-DMC, don't worry too much about this as it will not effect the formations provided and would enhance your ball possession.

    Effective formation to counter the 4-2-2-2 would be the 3-2-2-2-1:
    Tested in great match and it work well.

    -----------ST----------
    AML-------------AMR
    --------MC-MC-----
    DML------------DMR
    -----DC-DC-DC-----

    Flat Formation, but possible add down arrows on DML and DMR to boost defence if required.
    Short or mixed passing, down both flanks, with fast defenders use offside trap, pressing whole pitch in attacking mentality OR
    normal or defensive mentality, pressing own half with force counter and mixed passing.

    4-5-1V Motivated

    -------------ST-----------
    AML----------------AMR
    -----MC--------MC-------
    --------DMC(UP)--------
    DL(UP)---DC---DC-----DR(UP)

    The 4-5-1V Style Motivated is also another option to use against the 4-2-2-2 formation.

    Thank you for your answer. So 4-4-1-1 is the only solution to counter 3-2-2-2-1? Isn't better to use mixed or long passing with defensive mentality and counter attack?

    if you used 3 1 4 1 1 then put red arrow at AMC and DMC.
    if you used 3 1 4 2 then put red arrow at DMC only .

    Thanks again Adel. Unfortunately, he has just changed his formation to a similar 4-5-1 V style except he has 2 AMCs.
    He now has:
    DL DC DC DR
    DMC
    ML MR
    AMC AMC
    ST

    Do you have any advice for this remembering that he has a superior team to me?

    4 4 2 classic best used by short passing to control the mid .

    but if you are online and saw that this not working you can switch to long passing ... but if you were offline then use short passing .
