How to Win Against Any Formation?

[kyankov]

Kyankov ....To late I see you have decided on your original.
I'd have gone with the V formation, although it leaves one AM player free, your four at the back should cope, it is also your most balanced formation and offers something in attack with your own AM players supporting the striker and feeding ballsl to him, the AM players will keep his DL/DR busy while the striker goes through the centre of the two other DC's.

DR----DC--DC----DL
---------DC/DCM
------MC-------MC
AMR/MR-----------AML
------------ST

Play everyone flat to start give it 15 minutes if possession looks OK put up arrows on your AM players.

Normal, Both flanks, Own half, Short, Normal, Zonal, No O/S No force counter.

Second half you are holding your own but not to many chances try forcing counter and switch passing to mixed with up arrow on the striker, then long passing if still goals.

If you are happy with a draw stick to the first set of orders without the arrows.

Hi, I see your proposal as playing with 4-3-2-1 against 4-3-2-1. I am not sure if this will be in my favor but I will try it. Game is in 30 minutes.

EDIT: Thanks for your help Accyrover. I won 0:1 using 4-3-2-1 (my usual formation) as you suggested. Only change I made for better was to switch passes through the center and this was enough to change things in my favor - his wings were significantly better than mine, but I was better in the middle. The only problem I see, is that all attacks are executed by my wings and my ST doesn't receive a chance to play. My AMs dont make crosses. Do you know how to change that?
