How to beat this strange formation?

[Vikram Kumar]

Hi I'm facing this in my cup semifinal

DR--DC--DL
----DMC----
--MC--MC--
----AMC---
--ST-ST-ST-

I want to counter it like narrow diamond but I'm afraid of his 3 strikers

my quality is 39.6 his is 41.2, but I have four scouted players and most of my field players are better or = to his

I dont have DML, AML or AMR

HELP PLEASE IN ENGLISH!!!

Well narrow diamond is probably not the way to go. You want to attack his flanks because all he has are DR and DL covering. Unfortunately you do not have the personnel to run some of the formations to expose this. I would say your best bet is to use a 4-1-4-1, blue arrows on DCs and DMC, red arrows on MR, ML and ST. use normal mentality with full pitch pressure. No force counter attacks
