Very important game vs 4-3-3

[jbachev]

Hello guys,

I would like to ask once again for your expert advice

Tomorrow i am having a very important game against stronger / with 2 points/ team than mine which is using 4-3-3. I am honestly mostly afraid from the fact that his central ST is World class player. What formation and order would you advice me to use?

I was thinking about 4-1-2-1-2 narrow; middle;short passing; red arrows to the dl and dr?

Thanks

If you have really good DMCs use the classic real-life counter: 4-2-3-1

I'm not huge on the 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond, even though I've used it myself extensively with success. I'd rather see a 4-1-3n-2, with red forward arrow on the DL,DR, and MC you brought back from AMC.

I'd also be wary of using any formation with three center backs or no DMCs. A 4-1-4-1 might be good as well.

Avoid using the offside trap since you are wary of the particular striker.

Thanks. 4141 was my second option, but now turned to the first one What order would you advice?

I lost 0-2 by using the 4141

Better luck next time.

What were the shot stats?

i would counter 4-3-3 with 4-2mc-2 (aml/amr)-2

blue arrow on the 2dc and red arrow from MC till ST, why blue on the 2dc, because he have 3 strikers

i would attack him from the flanks and play hard tackling and mixed, zonal!
i won also from this formation with 2-0!

I'm always using 4-5-1V with only red arrow on AML/AMR and mentality normal, down both flank, mix pass, zonal to counter 4-3-3. So far so good...
