Now, you explained the tactics against 4-1-3-2 Wide, but what to do if he is not using wide but centered, meaning 3x MCs?
I have come up with
----St----
ML--MC--MR
--DMC-DMC-
DL-DC-DC-DR
With red arrows on ML, MR, DL and DR and both DMCs. What do you think?
you can use any formation that focus on the wingers like 4-5-1 V Style:

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

Another variation by using the 4-3-2-1:

4-3-2-1

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

3-3-2-2
--------ST----ST-----
AML--------------AMR
----MC--MC--MC----
-----------------------
----DC--DC--DC----

but you need to focus on down both flanks and mixed passing , whole pitch offside trap .. no counter attack.

Try and let me know if it works
