Hi Misters!...
As in object, that formation i'm going to front in few hours gives me always doubts! Not the first time i front it but i would try to find a real key to get a victory. In this peculiar moment of my league it's very important 'cause i'm fighting for the advancement...
Take a look of the formation

Ok, i would try a (wierd) new formation, like below

Now, don't care about red cards or uncorrect positions, that picture is just an example, but as you see i could use DML/R to stop his higher externals, to the three defenders the task of embank opponent's strikers.
He has got only a striker so defenders should be enough and putting a blue arr on my MC i'll get one more man in defense.
On the opposite pitch i can push forward my AMC (...and ST's) to gain more attack.
All under Defensive Mind, using Counterattack in the middle with mixed pass.
I wuold like to hear something about your thoughts.
Thank you
