help against this formation

[Kylos]

Defensive, long passing,down the flanks, own half, normal tackling, zonal marking. No offside and counters on. Blue arrow on DMC. Because I had been busy with work and studies, I havent been playing for quite some time. Eventually when I came back (after 2 seasons) we were sitting in 10th with 13 matches left to play now we currently 7th!!!!

i dunno if mine will help though, you need a more offensive formation to make up on agg.

If you want to use an alternative formation, try 3-1-4-2 or 4-3-3. 3-1-4-2 may work better than 3-5-2 V-style in this case because the side midfielders are less marked compared to wingers.

Ill try 3-1-4-2, I dont have a MR but im pretty sure putting an AMR in that position should be fine? His 1 of my in form players.... What orders and arrows? Really appreciate the advice.

Read my posts above. Most of them are in there (indirectly) for you to figure out. You must make some work on your side.

3-2-3-1-1 worked because you used mixed passing and the defensive wingers are not marked at all. I'm sure you have used red arrows on the defensive wingers.
The 3 CMs and the AMC hold the opponents CMs and DMCs, preventing them from moving out of their position to go mark someone else, for e.g a defensive winger moving forward. If they move, then space is made available for your CMs and AMC and the mixed passing comes into play.
