I have a rival who plays this all the time. I can't beat him and it makes me angry! lol

Anyway, thinking either an attacking mentality using a 4-1-4-1 or defensive mentality using a 4-4-1-1. Really depends on your players for this one I think.

I do know that a 4-5V-1 does not work! (DMC,MC-MC,AML-AMR)
I do know that a 4-4D-2 does not work! (DMC,ML-MR,AMC)

My best result was 0-0 draw using a 4-4-1-1, but that was my first match against him. -.-

Or perhaps a 4-2-2-2 using DMC-DMC, AML-AMR? I don't know! Good luck :P

4-5-1 v style, or maybe even 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond, sometimes its all in the orders

Thanks....I understand, kind of different formation that's for sure ;-/

I like the 4-4-1-1 its does let me use the all my * players, which isn't that important but does let me field the strongest players in a good formation.

4-1-4-1 is good too, lets me use my *DMC/DC in the *DMC position, I believe my Team performs better when he is in that position, but I lose my *AMC

and I think *AMC might be beneficial using 4-4-1-1 against this different formation.

decisions...decisions.....

I would say go if you have strong personnel for narrow diamond that is probably your best bet then. through the middle, red arrow on AMC

sadly sitting on one DMC
really think 4-5-1v can handle that formation????? (mean this question with pure respect.)
4-5-1v is one of my "go to" favorites

4-5-1 v style, or maybe even 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond, sometimes its all in the orders

[RJSlow]

I love 4-5-1 v style and I use it quite frequently. I would say if you use full pitch pressing you will force them to have to try long passing from the backline up. I would suggest using this or narrow diamond

[Cody Allan Taylor]

Kinda thinking a down-the-gut approach would work with two strikers. Formation depends where you want the "wings": 4-1-3N-2, 3-2W-3-2, 3-5-2, 3-3N-2W-2.

Maybe even a little crazy?

Your leaving your flanks open to be attacked by his wingers

I retract that suggestion! Hah. My vote is on the 4-4-1-1 or 4-1-3N-2. I don't think a diamond is smart here at all.
