How to beat 3-1-3-3 formation?

[Goran Javorić]

I play against this:

______DC_DC_DC______
_________DMC_________
ML_______MC______MR
_______________________
______ST_ST_ST_______

I usually play:

_____DC_DC_DC_______
_______________________
_____MC____MC_______
AMR____AMC____AMR
_______ST__ST________

I have slightly better players (almost all of them have *****)
I cant watch the game because its in 2 AM so...
Any suggestions?

try 3N-2(Dml/Dmr)-2-2W-1. red arrows on 2W. attack down flanks. pressing own half. zonal marking

I won first game against same opponent but he was using 4 4 2 i think. (Its champions league) so I must be defensive. I thought if I could try 5 2(MC) 2(AMC) 1?
very defensive, zonal marking, counter attack NO.
Is that a good idea? I won first match 2-1.

i would still recommend my formation but your formation is alright for your defence.
5 defenders will make his 3 strikers useless.

however, his midfield can still provide balls or shoot from distance. shut them down by moving your 2 MCs back into 2DMC .

His central defence is strong, don't bother going through the middle. instead go by the flanks. hence change your 2 AMC to MR&ML(super defensive) with red arrows). you can also continue to put red arrows on your DL and DR if you fancy a goal or two

and finally 1 lone strikers

to sum it all up. 5-2(DMC)-2(MR&ML)-1

if you just want to soak pressure then use your formation but move back your MC and AMC to DMC and MC respectively (good luck to him trying to score)

Focus Passing: Down Flanks
Mentality: Hard defending is fine,
but ive gotten red cards couple of times so ive switched to defending instead.

please let me know the outcome.
and if he scores, well, definite free kick or corner lol. good luck
