How to beat 3-2-3-1-1 CL FINALS! please help.

[herderd]

Hello Everyone,

I'm level 2 and I made it to the CL semifinals. I'll definitely qualify for the finals since I had a huge away win in the semi final first leg. My opponent (to be) in the CL final uses 3W-2-3W-1-1 (guess it is also known as eiffel tower) formation.
I'm planning to use 4-1-3N-2 with orders: Attacking mentality, long passes through the middle, high press, normal tackling, zonal marking, counter-attack allowed(?not sure), offside trap not allowed. His first team's general rank is slightly better than me ( something like 28 against 29.5 s)
I've searched the forum for counter formations against this one but couldnt find much and up to date messages.
I also tried to upload pictures of formations and teams but couldnt figure out how to do it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks Everyone.

3w-2(DMC)-3w-1-1 seems to be "maple leaf", so I suggest you to go with 3n-1-4-2.

Thank you Feis.. What about the orders and arrows?

This is my team:

I didnt notice that he changed his formation at the moment I took its picture. His usual formation is this one.
During the tournament he was only beaten once by a team way lower than him and it seems to be using 4-1-2-1-2ND tactics... Would it work?

I'm not sure about 3-1-4-2 since he has wings in his formation but I won't have wingbacks if I use 3-1-4-2 right?

in this case, 3-5-2 flat should do it...

I just saw a game between a 3w-2(DMC)-3w-1-1. Opponent team played 4-1-2-1-2 ND and win 3:0. Power of example should be a good advice.

Thanks.. At your example 4-1-2-1-2 beats 3w-2(DMC)-3w-1-1 formation 3-0 right? or is it the otherwise? Maybe that would be a compact counter against this wide formation.. I have never played 4-1-2-1-2ND formation before.. Do you have any idea about the orders and arrows?

24 hours before the final.. He changed to 3W-4-1-2... would 4-1-3N-2 be a good counter?
