Counter 5-1-2-2

Hi guys,

This club is on top of the league at initially beating everyone, when I had first encountered him he was on:

4-1-2-2

DL--DC--DC--DR
------DMC--------
----MC--MC------
----ST--ST-------

My formation was 4-1-4-1

He had score two goals very early in the game, I had quickly changed my formation to 4-2(MC)-2(AML) (AMR)- 2(ST) and I had immediately scored and he went on back foot with 5-1(DMC)-2(MC)-2 (ST) and he won the match 2-1. Hence since then he has been using the same formation of either 4-1-2-2 or 5-1-2-2. He played a friendly game against me when I was not around I was on 4-4-2 formation, when I checked I saw it was very tight I had won the match 5-4. If you guys could advise on possibly a tactical formation and playing style. It would be appreciated. As I'm currently second on the league and it's coming down to the wire as the season is ending 3 point difference between each other.

Thanks

Shakib
