How to Win Against Any Formation?

Up against a fantastic team next round of the Champions League. His rating is about 38 and mine about 32.4.

He plays with a 4-1-2-3 and seems very attacking. Which formation should I use to counter him and what instructions?

He plays:

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

You can use 4-3-2-1

---------ST-------
AML---------AMR
---MC-MC-MC---
--DL-DC-DC-DR--

Although there is no DMC with the 4-3-2-1 it is still a very effective attacking formation to counter the opponent with, mainly because of the strong middle as well as having attacking flanks.
If during the match you feel that he is taking advantage in attacking, then a simple (DOWN) arrow would be placed on the middle MC which in turn effectively would be turning this formation into a 4-5-1 V Style.

no counter attack ... offside trap ... down both flanks ... mixed passing (1st half) ... long passing (2nd half) ... Attacking mentality ... whole pitch.

you will make a positive advantage inshaa allah

after the game post your result here

---AMC---AMC-----
----ST----ST-----

How do I counter with this? The game ended 3-3 and luckily I had the game tying goal when I was forced to use hard attacking at the end.

4 4 2 classic
Order: normal mentality ... mixed passing ... own half ... down both flanks ... counter attack ... no offside trap.
