Formation against 4-3w-1-2

[ibangali]

Wow, is this formation get extra something from game system ...
I played against this 4-3w-1-2 before, using 4-5-1v, have no problem at all, last season on cup I win against a higher lvl manager with equal q team; but today on my league match over 20% low q than me kill my 4-5-1v, although I won (1-2 away) at the end. Right after my opponent first goal game screen blink and shows all my defenders + dmc rating are 5 +/- and mid+wing+st around 6 :O
Drag down my aml n amr, switch to 4-1-4-1 60' but still losing 1-0 then switch to 3-1-5-1, make 2 goals but my AM start to yelling that our def straggling, so last 10' again 4-1-4-1, other manager not attend. It was away for me but I had 14% poss

Or is that counter formation no longer useful, here is another story, one of my t11 friend lost (0-1) against 4-4-2; equal q team n manager, my friend use 4-5-1v then second half ND, still can't make it.
