how to beat 3w-3-2-2. is this illegal?

[Solex]

Hi,
My next oponent has a very strange formation.
He plays 3w-3-2-2.

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

I will play at his field and is slightly better then me.
And think the best formation is to go 4-1-4-1. defensive- mixed passing- on the man and counter?

What should u do?

P.S
Sorry for bad english

I usually beat this formation when i play with the normal 4-3-3
DL-DC-DC-DR
MC-MC-MC
ST-ST-ST
You will destroy his defence with 3 strikers.

Or maybe his opponent's AMCs will destroy him....

Solex, you could try 4-1-2-1-2ND.

Have flank based attack not the one focusing on mid-field. I will definitely go with 451v if I am you.

[Nilupul Sandeepa]

Having a DMC is a good way to block opponent's AMCs.
will this Formation work:
----ST---ST----
ML---MC---MR
-----DMC-----
DL-DC--DC-DR

[Agam Talwar]

Yes Nilupul, DMC will stop his amc but depends upon the quality of his AMC as well. For strong AMC you need to have a strong DMC.

His flank defense is weak so we should attack his flanks in order to score goals. This is what I feel and I will go with 451v to counter.

[Nilupul Sandeepa]

yeah i agree with that. Attacking from flanks always gives more scoring options. I used this 4-5-1V formation last season and scored more than 100 goals in league. It's a good formation.

Oh yeah, ofc I meant 4-5-1V not ND, sorry, lol.

This formation is not on the counters chart, but i would go with a V, how strong are your defenders? Consider a 3N-5-2 V-style.

Fight fire with fire!
DMC(blue), AMs(Red or none),
Attack, down flank, own, hard/normal, mixed, zonal.

I like to counter.

You need stop amc (+dmc in your tactic) you can play with 1 st, because his defense is weak , you need 2 amlamr to desroy him . --> 4-5-1 V style
