Counter 3-2w-2-1-2

I've had success with narrow diamond against that. I'm against that very same formation in my cup match today against a stronger team. For the home leg, I went 4-1-3n-1-1, and came out in top. We'll see how it does on the away leg.

Just to follow up:

I just finished the away leg of my cup matchup.
Opp using 3-2w-2-1-2 with average quality 70.4 vs me using 4-1-3n-1-1 with average quality 68.3. I went with defensive/counter/focus through middle/short pass/high press. Up arrows on defensive wingers. Back arrows on DMC and DCs. Ended up winning 0-3. 65% possession, 20 shots vs 8 shots and 89% pass completion.

Why 'high pressing'? Forcing counter-attacks and high pressing are likely to be not compatible as they require 'opposite' actions.

I started low. Then the assistant manager said I should press (I know I shouldn't listen to him). Didn't seem to make much difference. Scored three goals while high pressing and I just rode it until the end. Side note: I use the condition bonus exclusively when I'm set in high press.
