Need help CL Semi Leg 2 - How to counter this formation

[Shakib Rahman]

Hi guy,

I would be playing this club for CL Semi Leg 2 at home, first leg I had won 3-2 away (I cannot recall on aggregate how many goals I'm ahead of him) but anyways, I would be playing him in less then 5 hours from now.

This is his team and current formation:
3(DC)-1(DMC)-2(MC)-2(AML & AMR)- 2(ST)


This is my team:
4-4-2 (Red Arrows on my mid's & ST's)
Playing tactics Attacking, Mix passing, Own half, Zonal Marking, no Force counter or Offside trap


Advises would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Shakib

if the second leg is home switch to defensive, and take some red arrows off of your players (I would suggest MCs). 4-4-2 should be fine if you are comfortable playing with that formation. Put blue arrows on your DCs

Hey RJ, thanks for your valuable feedback! Altho I was more comfortable playing 4-1-4-1 V Style but this season it seems not being too effective, I'm not sure if it's my players or any glitch but highly appreciate it. Shall let you know the results soon.

Cheers

Thanks once again RJ, I had actually went through the thread, when I was facing issues with 4-5-1 V style, since it's one of my favorable formation. Let's see how it goes in an hour left from now onwards

Cheers
