I'm always in trouble fronting that kind of formations!!!!
This time i would try 3N-3N-2-2
He has an armoured team, for good reasons he's first on my league, looking at his formation i think is a defending one, probably on countering-minded because of his only 2 forwarded players (AMC/ST). But...he also has wide middle-line, i assume it's to allow the insertion of his 2 DMC's, to get a density on middle of the pitch.
He often won vs the 4-4-2 and some other kind of "flat" so i deduce that's not the way!
I'll try to stop his two forwarded and try to jump his central MC with my "trio", by tying them with short pass.
I would like to read something from you, if possible.
Thank you.
