Experienced manager giving countering advice for managers who need it

[Seangomes12]

I am playing against 4-2MC-1AMC-3ST .First round i went 4-5-1V hard attacking flanks and i was 2-0 for me,and after the opponent scored 3 goals, after 2-1 i went for defensive and counter attacks and it got worse( i concedeed 2 goals).What would you suggest me to do?I am playing away,the opponent is near my quality(2% better)

If u look at ur opponents formation u will see that his formation is mainly based in central midfield.to counter his AMC u will need a DMC.the main thing in countering any formation is having equal or more players than opponent in central midfield.in this formation ur opponent has 2MCs.he has three STs hence u HAVE TO play a back 4.

I would say play a formation like 4-1-3n-2 or 4-1-3n-1-1 coz
1)u will have a needed back four to stop his attackers.
2)u will counter his AMC using DMC
3)u will have three players in central midfield vs his one
4)in 4-1-3-2 u will have two strikers up front to finish his defence whereas if u play 4-1-3-1-1 u will have an AMC instead of a striker who will exploit the absence of a DMC In his formation.

I would say go thru the middle.attacking mentality,short passes,play high to create more opportunities.as ur playing attacking,don't go for counters as some times he can counter ur counter.
