Oh! never mind, read this, if not suitable come back on.
From: 'How to beat any formation' topic.

4-3-2-1

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

An excellent attacking formation and strong in wing attack..

Can be countered by:

3-2-3-2:

-------ST---ST-----
----MC-MC-MC---
DML---------DMR
----DC-DC-DC----

A logical choice formation to use against the 4-3-2-1.. 3 DC to block 1 lone striker, a DML and DMR to block attacks from the flanks coming from the AML and AMR, 3 midfield to keep control and 2 strikers to go for goal.
Mentality: Attacking
Focus Passing: Mixed
Tackling: Normal
Pressing: Whole pitch
Passing style: Mixed
Counter-Attack: No
Offside Trap: Yes

If these instructions don't work then tweak them more mildly.

3-2-2-2-1:

ST
AML-AMR
MC-MC
DML-DMR
DMC-DMC-DMC

Fight fire with fire, 3 DC again to block a lone striker.. DML and DMR to block the AML's and AMR's which can feed passes up your own AMLs and AMRs to take advantage of the lack of wing defence and one lone striker to go between the 2DC..
Thanks for this, I already checked this tread, but I thought I need something better than 3-2-3-2 to get a win against stronger opponent. I was thinking for some tweaking that can stop his powerful attacking wings even leaving his mediocre St open. I will take a shot and will report back couple of hours later.
