Important league match vs stronger 4-4-1-1

[Refractory]

I have an important match vs a team that's a bit stronger than mine. He's playing 4-4-1-1 and i'm thinking of going either 3w-1-4w-2 but his striker is super strong so i think 2 people are gonna be needed to stop him.

This is my team i'd greatly appreciate a good formation with orders. Thanks.

Go 3N-1-4-2

I have searched the forum before for a counter for 4411 and the suggested counter worked for me.

3n-3-2mc-1-1, normal mentality, focus through the middle, mixed passing,low pressing and zonal.

Teams of nearly equal quality, i was at home and won 3-1

3 DML-DMC-DMR, i suppose...

4-4-1-1 is one of the strongest formations in game, that i use too! a strong amc should be covered by a dmc! try to Play 4-1-4-1 or 4-5-1 v. Butterfly will do a good Job too, because you have 6 Players in middlefield and 3 DC.

I don't like 3W in the backfield ANYTIME. Why guard the sideline? You know where the opponent wants to go. Cover the goal. Against a strong AMC/ST combo, I'd go 3N-1(DMC). If you commit too many to the back, you may keep ANYONE from scoring including yourself.
I'm just a newb, but I'd try 3N-1-4-1-1. You might win the possession battle with 6 midfielders to his 5, keeping the ball away from the dangerous striker as much as possible.

Totally agree! or 3n-3w-2-2.... Same orders.

[Ioannis Boulakas]

3W-1-5-2V attacking,both flanks,no counter,offside on

[pcmacdaniel]

as long as their isn't a massive quality gap, 4-4-1-1 is pretty easy to beat, with 3w-5-2 V/3w-1-4-2.

If your uncomfortable using with using your 4* ML and MR, then i'd go 4-1-3n-2. normal/through the middle/own half/mixed/hard/zonal - no counter/no offsides or defensive/through the middle/own half/mixed or long/hard/zonal - force counters/no offsides.
