[lewskarche]

I've match against stronger opponent. Im av. 80, he is 84, but i have a lot ot special players, like 80% of my players have spacial abilities.
He is using 4-3-1-2 wide, it looks like this

I would play with a formation based on the attacking part from the midfield.

Such as:

- 4-1-2-1-2 - The narrow diamond tactic
- 4-3-3 - The narrow tactic

With the right mass from the centre of the pitch you could do some damage

next time try 3-2-3-1-2

ML---MC---MR

--ST--ST---

mixed passing style

If he's definitely stronger than you, I'd try any formation, but put everyone on defensive, blue arrow, play very defensive, attack through your strongest/his weakest side, own half pressure, long passes, hard tackling, zonal marking, no counter attacks, no offside traps.

Looking at his formation, I'd try to attack him through the middle, as Arik says.

Today lost again this tactic with sOoooooo better rating more overall, used narrow diamond 4-1-2-1-2, so i would say that this isnt the counter you are looking for.

[HypnoticBear]

next time try 3-2-3-1-2

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

mixed passing style

and you play without GK ?

in this squad, they already are 11 players.
