Experienced manager giving countering advice for managers who need it

So basically u have 2 have a DMC in ur team to counter his AMC.he has two strikers+his wingers,therefore u need a back four to stop them.he has two midfielders in central midfield excluding wingers.his major weakness is that he has a back three which u can destroy with ur wingers as they play narrow.even if they play wide they will be destroyed as ur strikers will destroy his one DC.

The formation I would suggest would be 4-1-4-1 as
1)u will have back 4 to stop his wingers and strikers
2)u will have a DMC to counter his AMC
3)u will have 4 in central midfield to maintain possession.
4)u will have the option 2 go thru the middle and to also go down the flanks.i would prefer to go down the flanks with ur wingers.put red arrows on ur wide players.

Btw if ur better than him u can mirror his formation and play thru the middle or down the flanks.

Give me ur opinion and give me ur suggestions if u have any.
Also tell me which formation u used

Remember to go down the flanks

Roger, short pass and red arrows on ml/mr?

[Seangomes12]

Keep it mixed passing with red arrows on ur wide players

Hi Sean...what do you suggest against 4-2n-2w-1-1? My opponents during match can put the AMC in MC, so there are 3 wide midfielder if things goes wrong.

In first match of CL I lost 1-2 away, I've played with a 3w-1-3n-2w-1; at the end of first half I was winning 1-0, but he has changed the AMC in MC and he scores 2 gol in the second half time.

i will surely support u in the next match.thats what friends do

[Seangomes12]

Basically the main mistake u made is playing aDMC who is useless as opposition did not play AMC.instead u should have played back 4

Thanks Sean...I'll try 4-3-2w-1 ... and about mentality, counter attack and pressing what you suggest? I can begin with attacking and switch to defensive during the match..
