How to beat 4 - 2 DMC - 2 MC - 2

[Ricardo82]

Hello Guys.
I am new on this forum now. I play this game for 9 month now. Last Season i managed to win the treble. This is my 10 th season and i face this weird formation in cup. I never played this before. He is a little bit stronger ( level 13 ).
Normaly i want to go for 4-5-1 V. But i want to be save and interessted to hear other opinions.

I go with 4-5-1V normal, down flanks, mixed passing, hard tackling ( ever), own half, no counter/ offside. Or should i go defensive because the quality?

Has anybody played this formation and is this my best bet? Or should i go with other formation.

Sorry for my english, i'm from germany.
Thanks

I'd play 4-2-2-2 hex instead of 4-5-1 V. There's really no need to keep that DMC when the opponent only has 2 ST and 2 MC to attack. So the DMC could be dropped for one more ST to go at his 2 DC.

Yes your right. I thought also about 4-3-2w-1 to control the midfield. But his Strikers are realy strong. So i think a Dmc/Dc with blue arrow is important to support my defenders. But hex is also an option for changes in match. And my wings are wingstrikers . They score a lot goals.
The first match is on my homeground. I dont want to let him score many awaygoals.

I have had 4 4 2 beat that formation when I was playing it.. sorry couldn't guess the orders.

I have played my cupmatch with 4-5-1 V and the orders below. Reds on dl, ,dr, ,aml, amr. Blue arrows on dmc and dc' s.
We won 4 : 0. The goals come from wingers and striker. So i think if you have great wingers and striker 4-5-1 V is a good option to beat this formation.

Thanks to guys for help.
