Advice for how to play against a formation I've never seen.

[Chris Schurfranz]

So I've got my Champion's League quarter finals tomorrow and I'm playing an opponent who has higher stats than me and a formation I've never come across before. Can you all give me some suggestions on how to defend against it, and tell me if I have a legitimate shot of beating him. If so, what's the best strategy?

Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Some formation with AMC would work very well. Unfortunately, you don't have an AMC...

I'd take off your DML/ML for your other top striker. One of your weaker DC for one of your DL.

Play a 4-2-2-2 Hex, Attacking, Left Flank (!IMPORTANT! This will force the other team in desperation and cause all kinds of cards), Whole Pitch, Hard, Mixed or Long, Zonal (!IMPORTANT!), Off Counter, On Offside Trap.

Play a blue defensive arrow on your DR, this will make him do the Offside Trap work.
