Cup Game - How to beat a 4-1DMC-3WAM-2 Formation

[tilkmin]

Hey guys out there. Tonight I've got a very important Cup Game. The Manager I play against uses a 4-1DMC-3WAM-2 formation. Any suggestions how to counter?

Thats at the moment a counter formation for 4-5-1v. whats the opp quality vs yours? what formations can you play? If the opp is weaker i would go 4-3-2w-1 with a Down arrow on one of MC's, normal, flanks. If the opp is lil stronger 4-1-2-1-2 ND normal, short passes, middle. That would be my choice.

Hey tgog79,
Thx for your reply! But do you think the 4-1-2-1-2 ND is a good idea vs this two wingers? Hm I really don't know...

I went with a butterfly formation 3n-2w-2n-2w-1

4-1-2-1-2 ND works fine. I won 2:1

Glad it worked! I faced that formation before this season. Thats the reason of my suggestion.
