How to Win Against Any Formation?

[DarioDA]

I am facing a 4-3-1-2 wide 3 (4-3w-1-2):

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

and he can convert it to 4-1-3w-2 (i've seen him doing it in some matches, but his DMC is just 4 stars):

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

I've read that for the second one a 3-2w-2-2w-1 works well, but most probably he is going to start with the attacking formation (4-3w-1-2) and most probably change to the defensive one as soon as he gets the lead... i really don't know how to counter him.

I am usually playing 4-5-1 V formation, so if i change to 3-2w-2-2w-1 i have my DR and DL playing off position as DML DMR, which i don't really like. I was thinking that 4-5-1 V can be a decent counter, but not sure about it and no idea on how to put arrows or orders...

We both have an average score of 39-40 on field (almost 6 stars) and its the champions final!!

Thank you for the help!

ST ST
MC MC(DOWN) MC

Anyone knows how to beat this formation?
4-5-1
DL--DC--DC--DR

ML--MC--MC--MC--MR

He has an AMC in defence insted of DC , is that normal?

My formation is

3-5-2

DC--DC--DC

ML--MC--MC--MC--MR

ST--ST

or

3-4-3

DC--DC--DC

ML--MC--MC--MR

ST--ST--ST

It's a home match

I need to win. Team is strong like mine.
How about tactics (passing, counter/offside, zonal/man to man...) ?

I would try to attack over the uncovered wing. Based on the formation I would suspect he attacks over the center.
With one striker 3 defenders and a defensive mid you should get stability there. 3 midfielders to cover his four: ML-MC-MR and 2 strikers.
That makes it a 3N-DMC-3W-2. As tactics: zonal defense, no offside trap, attack through left wing (since he has neither right back nor right midfielder). If he is as strong as you I would suggest normal mentality, mixed passing with pressure own half. Good luck.

No right sided player? Illegal formation if he doesn't have players on either flank
