3 defenders works well against narrow formations using less than 3 strikers! 3w or 3n against 1ST and 3n against 2ST.

I use 3n-1-4-2/3n-5-2 V-style against narrow formations with an AMC and less than 3 ST. Either of the previously mentioned or 3-5-2 flat against narrow formations with 3 MC's and less than 3 strikers.

EDIT: I never use 3 defenders when playing defensively against any narrow formation. Its always either 4-1-4-1 or 4-5-1 V when I want to play defense and counter-attack.

I read before to never play with 3 defenders against narrow formations, but thats what I gonna do next time, thank you for the help.

4-4-2 c should work. Blue arrows on both MC, reds on the flanks.

4-1-2-1-2 ND is another solid choice since his central midfield is soft.

Thanks will try that.

Played 4-4-2 as u said draw 2-2 he scored 2 goals an the last 10 min after I changed an mc that had a yellow card my mistake until then he only had 2 shots on the target. It will work next time.

4-5-1 V-style, defending(hard defending)/down the flanks/own half/hard/long/zonal - force counters/no offsides has worked me. red arrows on the flanks, blue arrows on MC's.
