How to play against 3n-2w-1-2w-2?? I was thinking 4-5-1 flat or 4-4-1-1 through the middle??

What do you think?

Northlondonisred,nice thinking man.its good way of playing.play the second option as it is more fluid and attacking.plus,he is going thru the middle and our formation is quite packed in midfield.

Albeit the superiority of our formation,it's always good to keep a plan B.i feel suppose our first choice formation is not working,u can play 4-3n-2w-1.why?
1)back four to stop attackers.
2)central midfield three to match his central midfielder three
3)advanced wingers to break his back line.u will also have one striker up front who will be assisted by ur wingers.this makes the formation more like playing three in front
U can start with any of the two formations.both are equally good
