So I'm new here (hello everybody here ) and I am playing my very first season on Top Eleven. So far, it is going really well, I have a W9-D1-L0 record and I am leading the League. This evening, I am going to play at home versus the current second placed team, and he is using a weird formation but had success in his last games. He is playing:

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

Throughout all previous games, I have always played the following formation

------ST------
AML-------AMR
---MCMCMC---
--------------
DL-DC---DC-DL

and I had very few problems against most teams. But against his formation, I am not sure if this formation is too offensive. I am considering to switch the center MC with a center DMC.

My current team strength is 15,6, his is around 15,0 (can't access it currently due to server maintenance). Any advice how to play his weird formation? Is my formation good enough to win or should I totally change it?

Thanks for help

you are playing against too much attacking formation so you should use this too much attacking to counter him rightly so you can use this formation
----------------ST---------------
AML------------------------AMR
-----------MC-----MC-----------
DML------------------------DMR
----DC(UP)DC(DOWN)DC(UP)-
normal mentality ... down both flanks ... own half ... mixed passing ... counter attack ... no offside trap.
and i'm sure you will win if your squad rating is near your opponent rating

I only have AMC/, no AML.
Could I adapt the recommended 4-5-1 and add arrows to the ML and placed a AMR instead of MR?
Something like this:
DL(Up)-DC-DC-DR(Up)
DMC
ML(Up) -MC-MC
AMR(Up)
ST
