hi @ all
i am new in this game and forum and i wish you could help me. i've read many topics in this forum but i didn't find an effective formation against a 4-1-3(W)-1-1
----------ST----------
---------AMC---------
--ML----MC----MR---
---------DMC---------
--DL--DC---DC--DR--
someone asked this question a few months before and one advice of an member was to play with a 4-5-1 V Style with normal mentality, both flanks, mixed passing, zonal, own half press, no counter/offside trap
or with a 3(W)-1-3(N)-2-1 with attacking both flanks, short passing, zonal marking, own half pressing, no counter, no offside trap
----------ST--------
AML-------------AMR
----MC-MC-MC----
---------DMC-------
DL------DC------DR
so i used the V style (it's also my favourite) but in the first half he shot 2 goals. i changed the tactic to the 2nd formation and i got another 2 goals in the 2nd half. the quality of his players were exactly the same that i have.
the second and important question i have is how i can beat a 3-1-3(W)-1-2 ??
the opponents quality is much better than mine (my average quality is 18.0, the opponents is 20.4). i have an important game tomorrow and i did not find something useful against this formation (in the table of counter there isn't any counter formation explained). i have to add that he has an very very fast ST and AMC so my defenders will not be able to play with offside trap!

Could you please help me?
thanks a lot!
