Hi managers,

I had a league match against a 3N-3W-2-1-1 formation, which to me was overly defensive as there are easily 8 players on defense.

Search through old posts, and the suggestion was to attack through the flanks using 3-5-2V. The opponent had 58 quality while i had 66. I started with 3-5-2V and eventually shifted to 3-5-2 flat, but the match ended with a goalless draw. I had 15 total shots with 8 on target, and 6 corners as well, but just wasn't able to convert the goal. I did notice my wingers and one of my ST had only a 6 rating though if it helps explain anything.

Any managers out there with experience tackling such a formation? Thanks!

Note: As I was the stronger team, I did contemplate whether I should just fight fire with fire (3N-3W-2-1-1), but I was interested to know if other formations could work.
