Help against the best team in the cup

[Cidadão de Bem]

Hey, I'm using a 4-5-1v with motivated dl, dr and dmc.
The team I'm going to face tomorrow is composed by 3 straight lines: (dl, dc, dc, dr), (mc, mc, mc), (st, st, st).

This team has won its last matches for about 8x0 and 10x0. I'm scared lol.

I hope you can help me, I'm new to this game.

Thanks.

How good is his team, and how good is yours? Can you post screenshots please?

My team is weaker, like 14x17 stars.

Edit: my team 15,8 stars; his team 17,1 stars.

Well if you're using 4-5-1 V-style then I'd use these orders: Defensive mentality, Passing down both flanks, own half pressing, hard tackling, mixed passing, zonal marking and force counter attacks. Red arrows on striker and your aml and amr. You could use attacking, but if you do then counter must be off. I normally use defensive when I have a stronger opponent, as they are likely to be attacking or normal.

Like I said though, it would be useful for me and anyone else trying to help if we could ave a screenshot of your and his teams.

Atm I don't know how to take a screenshot in my phone, but I'll manage to do it soon.

I'd do what I said for defensive mentality then.

And what about my dmc, no red arrow? I ask this because my opponent doesn't have an amc.

If possible I'd like you to explain the reason of the reds on the aml, amr and specially on the striker.

Thanks.

I don't see any reason why you can't play a motivated 4-5-1 V-style. Red arrows just make them play more attacking, so on an AML/AMR it makes them play more like a striker. On a striker it makes them play further into the other team's half. I tend to only use reds if I'm trying to play a formation I can't without putting players out of position, and using them is the closest thing I can get, or on strikers and wingers when I have a tough opponent or am losing.
