I am playing against 4 2dmc ml Mr AMC st, he is 3 levels higher and team is quite a lot better, which formation should I use & orders/arrows, thank u

Well what you want to do if you say he is better is to mitigate his players, I would suggest playing a 3-2-4-1 thats 3 CB 1 dml and 1 dmr, two cm's, a ML and a MR, and a striker up front means at all times you have 5 people capable of defending, and the 3 cb's should help you vs his AMC. I'm new to the game so people probably have better formations, but from one newbie to another, that's my two cents

Thank you for your advice

Play to his weaker side, if his left is weaker focus passing to the right flank. Feel him out. Formations dont always do the trick: morale and coaching can do it.
