Problem with defensive 3-3-3-1 formation!

[Kristian Travis Trevland]

I have an important match against this weird formation. It's sort of a very defensive 3-3-3-1 formation.




Please help! What should I do?

Don't get deceived by it he will change it before the game kick in and if he keep it control the midfield go 3-5-2 flat or any good midfield formation

3-1-4-1-1

I was thinking he would try to pull a trick I might wait him out..

He has 5* players on bench, better than some starting 11 players. Maybe they're injured or he wanted to rest them. Whatever, check his previous matches setup and stats.

I have checked. His first keeper is out of form and he seems very desperate as he is chasing first place... He has lost two matches in a row against weak teams. His team has most possession, but has a hard time scoring goals

[Kristian Travis Trevland]

This is my team.. Hehe, haven't changed my formation yet as I'm waiting him out

[t11_fan]

He could change 4-5 players. Did he use same formation and players in previous matches? I don't think he will bench 7* GK just because he is out of form.

Surprise him lol, play the same formation he is playing...

Or do another trick, I've done it yesterday successfully
My opponent uses weird formation 3w-1-3w-1-1. So I changed my formation to 4-1-3W-2 few hours before match.
When he saw my formation, he changed his to 4 4 2ND. I waited right moment: 4 minutes before match started I finally set my formation to 3-1-4-1-1 and won the match .
