    I need some advice for beating 4-3-3 formation

    --------GK-------
    DL---DC--DC---DR
    --MC---MC---MC--
    --ST---ST---ST--

    He is 1st in my league, but I have little advantage in average quality (77.9 - 76.8). I play at home, so need all three points for Champions League next level.

    -------------ST-----------
    (UP)----------------AMR(UP)
    -----MC--------MC-------
    --------DMC(UP)--------
    DL(UP)---DC---DC-----DR(UP)

    Attacking ... long passing ... down both flanks ... no counter ... no offside trap

    Sorry i didn't see your post except now so you will find you answer at the 1st page
    4-3-3

    This formation has a fatal flaw in the form of not having any wingers. To beat it, exploit this major weakness by focusing your attack on the flanks while defending your middle. Here's a few examples of formations that do exactly that:

    3-1-3-2-1
    ----------ST----------
    (UP)--------------AMR(UP)
    ----MC--MC--MC----
    ---------DMC(UP)---------
    ----DC--DC--DC-----

    4-1-4-1
    ----------------ST--------------
    ---------------------------------
    ML (UP)--MC----MC----MR (UP)
    --------------DMC (UP)-------
    DL (UP)--DC--DC------DR (UP)

    3-3-2-2
    --------ST----ST-----
    (UP)--------------AMR(UP)
    ----MC--MC--MC----
    -----------------------
    ----DC--DC--DC----

    The exact formation is up to you, but keep this in mind:

    a) Always attack the flanks with either ML/MR with red arrows or AML/AMR
    b)Use at least 2 DC's
    c)Use at least 2 MC's
    d)The combined number of your Defenders+DMC's+MC's must be 6 or higher.
    e) MC's+ML/MR must be 4 or higher.

    Tactics against 4-3-3.

    4-3-3 is an attacking formation, so you can either play offside trap with very fast defenders while pressing the whole pitch, or a more defensive counter-attacking way while pressing your own half.

    Most formations able to easily beat 4-3-3 will be heavy in the midfield, as such, use short passing if playing offensively and mixed passing when trying to counter attack.
