How to beat 4-1-3(mc/mc/mr)-2 ... or at least TO STOP !!!

Hi Mates,
I´m quite new here (2nd Level), playing besinde the league in the Cup and Champions League. And there I saw this creature ... I counted: 11. But they appeared asymetric like this:

------------GK-------------
DR----DC---------DC----DL
-----------DMC------------
MR----MC--------MC-------
--------ST------ST--------

No one was able to win any match against him. Yet! It seems, that we have no chance with any symetric formation.

My idea of an effective counter - as far as this newbie ME can tell - would look like this:

------------ST-----------
---------------------AMR
------MC--------MC-----
DML-------DMC----------
DL----DC------- DC----DR
-----------GK------------

AMR up, DCs down

Normal mentality, right flank, own half, normal tackling, mixed passing, man-on-man, yes counter attack, no offside.


Puuh. What do you guys think?

No ideas or is it a bad question?

Asymmetric formations are hard to deal with because your not sure if its because he just has certain players or he is specifically attacking one side. I would suggest using 3-2-2-2-1 butterfly and attacking both flanks. But your formation could also work. Instead of a DML though use a ML, put red arrows on your right side players if you are attacking just the right

Thank you very much!
It did not come to the expected confrontation: A few hours before starting whistle he changed formation into 4-1-2N-3. My respose was a successful 3-3N-2W-2, winning 2:0.
