Hey there guys!

I really need help here! I have an important match today against a similar quality opponent. he uses 4-2-3-1.

ST
AML-AMC-AMR
MC-MC

DL-DC-DC-DR

Have anyone found a good counter for this formation? Really need to win this.

I also use 4-2-3-1 and face difficulty against 4-5-1V. I believe you can use 4-5-1V or 3W-1-3N-2W-1

Funny because it is exactly the other way round for me: I play 4-5-1 V and have hard times against this. Usually, I am successful with defensive lineups as 3DC-3WDM.

Maybe both of you are right.
I think it's depending from the good/bad day of the AMs.

4-5-1v plays well against this I think. Personally, I think this formation is countered by several different tactics.

My formation of choice against it has been the 3w-1-2n-3w-1.
