How to Win Against Any Formation?

[dimdim1]

I used the butterfly formation and won 4-0 against 4-2-1-3

no dmr-dmls in my team,
4-1(DMC)-3(MCs)-2 ,with up the DR-DL probably,but still not conviced that i shoudnt play full attack to beat him 5+ goals.

Actually i have to decide if i want the cup so play safely and win it for my legend,or if i want to try the machine.

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!

What about 3-2-3-2

ST ST
MC MC(DOWN) MC
DML (UP) DMR (UP)
DC DC DC

Defensive - counter - mixed focus - mixed passing

Thanks but as i said i have no DML DMR... and cannot afford to play with off position players in a final...

What about 3-2-3-2

ST ST
MC MC(DOWN) MC
DML (UP) DMR (UP)
DC DC DC

Defensive - counter - mixed focus - mixed passing

[zidaldo]

maybe,
as long as he play with AMC 3-5-2
ST ST
ML(DOWN) MC MC (UP) MC MR (DOWN)
DC DC DC

Defensive - counter - focus through the middle - mixed passing.
When he plays with DMC:

Defensive - counter - focus mixed - mixed passing.

Thanks but as i said i have no DML DMR... and cannot afford to play with off position players in a final...

I'd play the extra MC with blue arrows you only need him behind to help out dealing with the AMC.

Thank you! I'll let you know how i get on.

I'm the underdog so there's no pressure.

Today I have a cup final against someone stronger than me.
He plays an 4-4-2
How should I play?
My players:
x1 gk
x1 dl
x1 dr
x5 dc
x1 dmc
x3 mc
x2 ml
x3 st

[dimdim1]

I'd play 3-5-2 V Style to face him. same order than 4-5-1 V style but 3 DC to block his St

the point is to dominate the middle where he is weak,and to exploit adv from the flanks.My defence is ok with a DMC blocking his AMC .
I am too close to 3-1-4-2 ...50/50 with my first thought 4-3-3
